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 […]
Simple LED Tubelight Circuit
An LED tube-light is lighting device built using high efficiency LEDs for illuminating a premise where it is installed, through the available AC mains supply. In this post I have explained the complete construction details of a simple LED light tube light circuit using 20 mA, 5 mm high bright white LEDs. The circuit can […]
How to Connect Car LED Downlight: Circuit Diagram
A car LED downlight available in the market can be easily integrated to an existing car battery if its rating is identical to the battery’s voltage rating. I have explained more regarding one such request sent by Mr. Allwyn Siqueira. How to Connect Downlight to 12V Car Battery Hi Swagatam, I’ve just spent the last […]
5 Easy 1 Watt LED Driver Circuits
In this post I have explained about a few easy to build, compact 1 watt LED bulb circuits. The first circuit is SMPS based, the second design uses a capacitive power supply, while the remaining concepts show how to used a DC source to illuminate a 1 watt LED. Warning: Many of the circuits I […]
How to Make Any Light a Strobe Light Using Just Two Transistors
If you feel strobe lights very interesting but are disappointed by the fact that these wonderful light effects can be produced only through complex xenon tube then probably you are quite mistaken. It is very much possible to make any light a strobe light if you are equipped with a proper driving circuit capable of […]
