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 […]

LED Fader Circuit – Slow Rise, Slow Fall LED Effect Generator
In the following post I have explained a simple circuit which can be used for alternately switching LEDs with gradual brightening and fading effects. Circuit Operation The circuit can be effectively used for generating spooky effects in idols, for example it can be used for illuminating the eyes of a Jack-o’-lantern during haloween celebrations. The […]
Automatic Door Lamp Timer Circuit
In this article I have explained a simple automatic door light timer circuit which activates every time the door is opened, and switches OFF after a predetermined time if the door is kept open for too long. The circuit was requested by one of the avid readers of this blog, Mr. Juan. I have explained more. Technical Specifications: I always find […]
How to Make a Cheap LED Name Plate with Illuminated Back Light
In this post I have explained a simple method for making an inexpensive LED name plate with illuminated back light, which can be made by incorporating only 4 LEDs and yet acquire a dazzling back light illumination for the name plate. Introduction LEDs are no doubt gaining popularity by leaps and bounds and probably most […]
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 […]
