In this post I have explained an LED controller circuit having a boost and dimming facility specifically designed for underwater shooting application. The idea was requested by Mr. Svein. The Circuit Request I came across your blog at https://www.homemade-circuits.com and thought I’d ask you a question regarding building or modifying a LED driver. I planning […]
Lamps and Lights
Infrared (IR) Controlled LED Emergency Lamp Circuit
Here I have explained a an emergency lamp circuit which includes an infrared remote operated brightness control feature. The idea was requested by Mr. Heeran Technical Specifications Can you please help me with two circuits. I want to build a backup led emergency lamp that works via an infrared remote . I want it to […]
Variable LED Intensity Controller Circuit
The post presents a couple of simple LED intensity controller circuit which may be appropriately configured for specific related applications. The idea was requested by Mr. Chand. Technical Specifications I would like to have a circuit designed by you which is very simple and straightforward. This will be incorporated as a stand alone feature in […]
Compatible LED Tube Light Circuit for Standard Ballast Fixtures
In this article we will study a simple LED tube light circuit which could be directly replaced with faulty 40 watt T17 fluorescent tubes and fitted directly on the existing fixture. Thus the circuit is compatible with all standard iron ballast fixture assemblies. How Conventional Fixtures are Wired As shown in the below diagram, traditional […]
0.6V to 6V/12V Boost Converter Circuit Diagram
In this post I have explained how to make a 0.6V to 6V or 12V boost converter circuit using a single chip MC74VHC1G14, which uses under 1V to operate. About the IC MC74VHC1G14 Normally, we all know that a silicon transistor would find it difficult functioning below 0.7V, unlike germanium counterparts which are capable of doing it […]
Mains 20 Watt Electronic Ballast Circuit
In this post I have explained a simple 20 watt fluorescent ballast circuit using a single chip FAN7711 from Fairchild semiconductor. The proposed mains 220V operated, 20 watt fluorescent ballast circuit is built around an LCC resonant tank and a half-bridge network. Implementing Zero Voltage Switching The main features and operations may be understood with […]
