This circuit can be used like a tree ornament, however the LED star circuit explained here has a variation; it’s completely electronic and it provides the impression of an exploding and imploding 6 arm star. A block diagram of the circuit can be seen in the Fig. 1 below, configured using 3 components: oscillator, counter, […]
Newly Updated Circuit Projects:
Push-Button Light Dimmer Circuit
In this post I have explained the construction details of a triac based push-button dimmer circuit which can be used for controlling incandescent, and fluorescent lamp brightness through push-button pressing. Another feature of this dimmer is its memory, which retains the brightness level even during power outages, and provides the same lamp intensity after power […]
Neon Lamps – Working and Application Circuits
A neon lamp is a glow lamp made up of a glass cover, fixed with a pair of segregated electrodes and containing an inert gas (neon or argon). The main application of a neon lamp is in the form of indicator lamps or pilot lamps. When supplied with a low voltage, the resistance between the […]
Medical Store LED Cross Sign Circuit [Plus Sign]
In this post I have explained how to make an interesting yet simple running LED cross sign or plus sign module for displaying in front of medical stores. Nowadays, it is very common to witness illuminated flashing, chasing LED cross signs in front of medical stores, which work like an advertisement board for attracting the […]
Xenon Strobe Light Control Circuit
The circuits presented in the following article could be used for generating strobed lighting effect over 4 Xenon tubes in a sequential manner. The proposed sequential xenon lighting effect could be applied in discotheques, in DJ parties, in cars or vehicles, as warning indicators, or as decorating ornamental lights during festivals. A wide range of […]
Neon Tube Driver Circuit
The high-voltage neon tube driver circuit discussed in this article generates 500 volts of high-frequency AC (15 kHz). This circuit may be used to brightly illuminate all types of neon tubes. Neon ranks among the best when it comes to striking, eye-catching lighting displays. Virtually every industry, from pizza restaurants to clothes boutiques, uses neon […]
