LED lighting products are relatively new for the commercial market and as with any new product, they have to deal with doubt and negative comments from consumers’ side. There just is a lot of false information about LED lights that creates many misconceptions about them. So here are the greatest myths about LED lamps and […]

Corona Effect Generator Circuit
In this post we study regarding what is corona effect and how to make a corona effect generator circuit at home using a CDI coil and a tesla coil configuration. Then idea was suggested by Mr. Sanjoy Corona Treatment for Paper Coating Many many thanks for posting the alternate switching timer circuit as requested. Although […]
How to Make Car LED Bulb Circuit
Typically all car turn signal lamps are around 12 to 20 watt rated which are traditionally incandescent bulb types and produce much lower light intensities compared to LED lights. Here I have explained how these lamps can be replaced with high efficiency, high intensity car LED bulbs. LED Car Bulb Design The image below shows […]
0.6V to 6V/12V Boost Converter Circuit Diagram
In this post I have explained how to make a 0.6V to 6V or 12V boost converter circuit using a single chip MC74VHC1G14, which uses under 1V to operate. About the IC MC74VHC1G14 Normally, we all know that a silicon transistor would find it difficult functioning below 0.7V, unlike germanium counterparts which are capable of doing it […]
Make this Red LED Sign Circuit
The post presents a simple transformerless red LED sign circuit which can be made even by a novice. The circuit uses only a few high voltage capacitors, two resistors, and a few red LEDs…. nothing more. The circuit idea and the images were submitted by Mr. John Hungerford. The following email was sent to me […]
Compatible LED Tube Light Circuit for Standard Ballast Fixtures
In this article we will study a simple LED tube light circuit which could be directly replaced with faulty 40 watt T17 fluorescent tubes and fitted directly on the existing fixture. Thus the circuit is compatible with all standard iron ballast fixture assemblies. How Conventional Fixtures are Wired As shown in the below diagram, traditional […]
