How to Make Any Light a Strobe Light Using Just Two Transistors
If you feel strobe lights very interesting but are disappointed by the fact that these wonderful light effects can be produced only through complex xenon tube then probably you are quite mistaken. It is very much possible to make any light a strobe light if you are equipped with a proper driving circuit capable of […]
3 Glittering LED Christmas Tree Light Circuits Explored
In this post we present 3 circuit ideas for creating beautiful Christmas tree light decorations. The first idea explains a transistorized flashing blinking LED string light which can be mounted on a Christmas tree. The second circuit diagram describes an LED light effect generator which can be also installed over a real Christmas tree for […]
Simple Hi Efficiency LED Torch Circuit
A simple LED torch circuit that would light up 3 white LEDs from a 6 volt supply and would make your battery last forever is described here. A useful voltage doubler circuit is incorporated here to make a highly efficient circuit using just a handful of components. Introduction Learn more how to build it. White […]
40 watt Electronic Ballast Circuit
The proposed 40 watt electronic ballast is designed to illuminate any 40 watt fluorescent tube, with high efficiency, and optimal brightness. The PCB layout of the proposed electronic fluorescent ballast is also provided along with the torroid and the buffer choke winding details. Introduction Even the promising and the most talked about LED technology is […]
IC 555 LED Circuits (Blinking, Flashing, Fading Effect)
In this post I have explained how to assemble IC 555 for generating interesting LED circuits with blinking, flashing and fading light effects with some minor modification and enhancements. Why use an IC 555 Astable The astable multivibrator mode is the most fundamental mode of operation of the IC 555. In this mode it basically […]
