In this post I will explain how to make one full adjustable lighting sequence generator which can control and illuminate many external bulbs through triacs in many different running patterns. We can make it so that user can change and select any sequence pattern easily. We will use Arduino for the full control part. Let […]

10 Simple LED Chaser Circuit Diagrams Explained [Knight Rider, Scanner, Reverse-Forward, Cascaded]
In this article I have explained the construction of 10 interesting yet simple LED chaser circuits, which not only create beautiful running light effect but are also easy to build. We also discuss how to modify these into a design popularly known as “knight rider” chaser circuit. These primarily incorporate LEDs as well as mains […]
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. […]
Single Transistor LED Flasher Circuit
It is possibly the smallest LED flasher to date, which is able to flash an LED ON/OFF infinitely using a single transistor, a resistor, and a capacitor. Can you imagine making a great looking LED flasher or blinker with just a single transistor and a couple of other passive parts? That’s exactly what I have […]
