Whenever we come across using 1 watt LEDs or other higher watt LEDs, we are always advised to use high grade aluminum based heatsinks for safeguarding the LEDs from heat, and for acquiring optimal performance from them. Double Side PCB can be Costly However as we all know such PCBs are highly costly and could […]

Making a 10/12 watt LED Lamp with 12 V Adapter
In this post I have explained the construction of a homemade 10 watt LED lamp using ready made 12 V SMPS adapter. The project was successfully built by Mr. Debabrata Mandal. In many of previous posts I have discussed the use of 1 watt white LEDs for making high efficiency LED lamps for implementing in […]
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 […]
110V Compact LED Tubelight Circuit
In this article I have explained a simple single IC LED tube ligt circuit applicable for 110V/120V AC inputs. The circuit uses 30 numbers of 1 watt LEDs, and also includes a voltage and current control features. In my previous post I discussed the IC TL783 which is a 1.25V to 120V variable DC regulator […]
5630 SMD LED Driver/Tube light Circuit
In this post I have explained a simple transformerless SMD 5630 type LED tube light circuit which can be built by anybody for illuminating home interior cheaply. The idea was requested by Mr. Smeet. Technical Specifications I am a very big fan of your website and it has been much helpful to me in my […]
IC 555 Automatic Emergency Light Circuit
The discussed 2 simple IC 555 based emergency lamp system employs just a single IC 555 and yet is able to switch more than 20 LEDs directly, it will illuminate the LEDs only during the absence of mains power and ambient light. 1) Using IC 555 as a Comparator The proposed circuit is not only […]
