Nowadays the CFL and fluorescent lamps are almost completely replaced with LED lamps, which are mostly in the form of circular or square shaped flat ceiling mounted LED lamps. These lamps beautifully merge with the flat ceiling surface of our homes, offices or shops providing an aesthetic look for the lights, along with a high […]

Blinking LED Circuit using LDR and Resistors
This is perhaps the most simplest looking LED flasher that does not depend on any semiconductor. This LED blinker circuit utilizes ordinary passive components like a few resistors, a capacitor and an LDR. Meaning, this LED flasher does not depend on transistors or ICs to create the blinking effect. Circuit Description The LED-LDR combination is […]
Simple 4 Watt LED Driver Circuit Using IC 338
This 4 watt LED driver is a device that will illuminate a 4 watt LED safely through a constant current circuit using the IC LM338. The IC LM338 as we know is a highly versatile device when it comes to controlling voltages and current levels. Circuit Configuration In the present design, the device is configured […]

A simple LED torch circuit that would light up 3 white LEDs from a 6 volt supply and would make your battery last forever is described here. A useful voltage doubler circuit is incorporated here to make a highly efficient circuit using just a handful of components. Introduction Learn more how to build it. White […]
Transformerless Automatic Night Lamp Circuit
This transformerless solid-state automatic night lamp operates without using bulky transformer, and automatically switches ON some LEDs during night, and switches them OFF during day. In this post I have explained how to make a transformerless automatic darkness activated LED lamp circuit, using a couple of transistors and capacitive based power supply, eliminating the use […]
Simple RGB LED Color Mixer Circuit using LM317 IC
In this post I have explained a simple LM317 IC based RGB 3 watt LED color mixer circuit, which can be used for demonstrating the color mixing effects of red, blue, green colors as specified in the standard color charts. The idea was requested by Mr.Praveen. Technical Specifications My name is Pravin, I work in […]
