In this post I will show how to construct LED strip controller circuit using Arduino, which can turn ON/OFF and decrease/increase brightness of LEDs using ordinary IR (Infrared) remote. What is LED Strip Light? (For noobs) If you are not familiar with LED strip lights, let’s understand what it is. LED strips (sometimes called as […]
Lamps and Lights
Illuminated Crosswalk Safety Light Circuit
In this article I have explained a simple illuminated crosswalk safety light circuit for ensuring a safe walking passage for the user amidst heavy traffic. The idea was requested by Mr. John. Circuit Objectives and Requirements I recently came upon your website while researching circuits for a hobby project i’m working on. I certainly admire […]
PIR Solar Home Lighting Circuit
In this post I have explained a simple circuit using Passive Infrared or PIR for making an automatic solar LED lamp which can be used for illuminating your home automatically at sunset, and only in the presence of a human member in the premise. By SS Kopparthy Introduction Here, in this article, I will discuss a […]
“WELCOME” LED Display Circuit
In this post I have explained how to make a chasing “WELCOME” display circuit sign board, which illuminates each alphabet sequentially until all the 7 alphabets are lit and then the whole display shuts off, the cycle continues permanently as long as the circuit is powered. Overview I have already discussed a similar concept explaining […]
LED Obstruction Light Circuit
Obstruction lights are warning lights that we see at the top of tall structures like towers and skyscrapers, installed for indicating the aircrafts and other flying objects about these obstructions. These lights alert the flying aircrafts regarding the minimum height they should maintain above these tall structures to avoid a possible collision and accidents. Obstruction […]
Sunrise Sunset Simulator LED Circuit
In this post I have explained how to make a sunrise/sunset simulator circuit using LEDs and just a couple of BJTs. The idea was requested by Mr. Jerry Circuit Objectives and Requirements The Design As proposed, a simple sunrise and sunset simulator circuit can be implemented using the circuit shown in the following diagram: The […]
