How Crank Flashlights Work
A crank flashlight basically works by hand cranking a permanent magnet motor, which generates electricity for illuminating the attached LEDs. Motor Becomes a Generator Normally, a permanent magnet motor is used for executing a rotational movement by applying a DC potential across its specified supply terminals. However we also know that the same motor can […]
200, 600 LED String Circuit on Mains 220V
In this post I have explained the construction of a 200 to 600 LED circuit project, using series parallel LEDs for creating an alphabetical display sign board. The idea was requested by Mr. Mubarak Idris. Circuit Objectives and Requirements I need a blinking LED light that show”WELCOME TO” blink and then “COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING” base […]
Musical Christmas Decoration Light Circuit
A very interesting musical Christmas decoration light circuit can be built using a single IC, and some other few passive components, let’s learn the details as furnished below. By: Ritu Panday How it Works The circuit of a selectable muti-musical song player with 5 sequential light pattern generator is discussed here using just a single […]
Greatest Myths about LED Lighting
LED lighting products are relatively new for the commercial market and as with any new product, they have to deal with doubt and negative comments from consumers’ side. There just is a lot of false information about LED lights that creates many misconceptions about them. So here are the greatest myths about LED lamps and […]
Controlling LED Strip Light ON/OFF and Brightness with any Remote Control
In this post I will show how to construct LED strip controller circuit using Arduino, which can turn ON/OFF and decrease/increase brightness of LEDs using ordinary IR (Infrared) remote. What is LED Strip Light? (For noobs) If you are not familiar with LED strip lights, let’s understand what it is. LED strips (sometimes called as […]
