An emergency lamp using SMD LEDs is able to generate illuminations with extreme brightness due to the high efficiency of the SMD type LEDs. Moreover, SMD LEDs also ensure the unit will be very compact and lightweight. The following post explains a simple circuit diagram of an automatic emergency lamp using 36 nos. SMD LEDs. The circuit […]

Illuminating 24 White LEDs from two 9 Volt Cells
In this post I have explained about a special circuit which can illuminate 24 high bright white LEDs from a single 9V PP3 battery, let’s unravel the secret behind this amazing circuit. Nine volt cells as the rating suggest, provides 9 volt output, but what about the current? A 9 volt PP3 battery will not […]
Converting a Dead CFL into an LED Tubelight
You might have already read about this interesting idea in many different sites. It’s about converting a dead CFL into a sleek LED tube light circuit. In this post I have explained the procedures with more details. How many times did you throw away a dead or over used faulty CFL unit into the dust bin? Well, we do […]
Transformerless Current-Controlled LED Bulb Circuits you can Build at Home
In this post I have elaborately explained how to build simple transformerless LED bulb circuits using many LEDs in series and powering them through current controlled capacitive power supply circuit. Warning: Circuits I have explained below are not isolated from mains AC, and therefore are extremely dangerous to touch in the powered and open condition. […]
Solving LDR Controlled LED Emergency Lamp Problem
The following post discusses the troubleshooting of an automatic LDR controlled emergency lamp circuit which was requested to me via email by one of the keen followers of this blog. I have explained about the issue and its solution. Technical Specifications Dear Sir, I am following you on your website and I thank you for your valuable […]
AC Light Dimmer Circuit
In this post I have explained through two examples how to build a simple110 V or 220 V AC light dimmer circuit for controlling light intensity with pot, using the principle of triac phase chopping. A 220V dimmer switch circuit is basically a triac/diac based AC mains voltage regulator circuit which can be used for […]
