How to Make a LED Flashlight Circuit
White LEDs have become so common nowadays that even school kids today know how to use them for making simple LED projects. LEDs are typically used for illuminating purposes, the discussed circuit is also intended for similar applications. The post talks about how to wire LEDs and battery to make a simple DIY LED flashlight. […]
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 […]

Introduction Today LCD products have become very common and a part of our everyday life. Whether it’s your cell phone, DVD player, TV set, car, all incorporate LCD screens for indicating or […]
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. […]
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 […]
