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 […]
How to Connect 5mm LEDs to a 3.7V Li-Ion Cell
In this article I have explained regarding how to connect and illuminate a few 5mm LEDs using a 3.7V Li-Ion cell, normally used in cell phones. I keep receiving requests from the readers who seem confused with the connection details of 5mm LEds with a 3.7V Li-ion cell. The requests inspired me to write this […]
Using a Fan Dimmer for Controlling LED Intensity
The circuit idea I have I have explained in this article can be used for controlling the intensity of many LEDs through a ceiling fan dimmer switch unit. This circuit was requested by Mr. Joseph who wanted a simple method through which an ordinary home dimmer switch could be integrated with a chain of LEDs for controlling its brightness from […]
How to Make 1 A Constant Current LED Driver Circuit
In this article I have explained a simple 1 amp constant current LED driver circuit using the IC MBI6651 from MACROBLOCK. The IC has been specifically designed for operating high power LEDs safely by providing a constant current output. The circuit includes very few external components and therefore becomes very easy to assemble at home. […]
