This simple yet highly sophisticated, smart LED street light circuit automatically switches ON a street lamp from low brightness to high brightness whenever it detects a moving object underneath it. This action is initiated only during nighttime, while during daytime the street lamp remains completely shut off. What this Circuit will do This advanced automatic […]
Lamps and Lights
Single Ended nOOds, 300mm long Flexible LED Filament, Warm White 3V
So here we are talking about this cool looking thing called Single Ended nOOds, basically it is a type of flexible LED filament which is 300mm long which means around 30 cm, like one standard scale. It glows in warm white color and works nicely with just 3V DC. What is it, actually? This LED […]
8 Channel Lighting Sequence Generator Circuit for Christmas, Diwali Decoration
In this post I will explain how to make one full adjustable lighting sequence generator which can control and illuminate many external bulbs through triacs in many different running patterns. We can make it so that user can change and select any sequence pattern easily. We will use Arduino for the full control part. Let […]
Light Emitting Diodes (LED) Explained
The full form of LED is Light Emitting Diode. LEDs are special type of semiconductor diodes which emit light in response to a potential difference applied across their terminals, hence the name light emitting diode. Just like a normal diode LEDs also have two terminals with polarity, namely anode and cathode. To illuminate an LED […]
Fading an LED ON/OFF – Arduino Basics
In this post I have explained a basic Arduino function where I have explained the process of fading an LED ON/OFF through some basic code implementations. Creating a Fading Effect We see how to use an analogwrite() function in order to implement a fading ON/OFF of an LED. The function incorporates PWM pulses across a […]
Single Transistor LED Flasher Circuit
It is possibly the smallest LED flasher to date, which is able to flash an LED ON/OFF infinitely using a single transistor, a resistor, and a capacitor. Can you imagine making a great looking LED flasher or blinker with just a single transistor and a couple of other passive parts? That’s exactly what I have […]
