220V Dual Alternate Lamp Flasher Circuit
This is a mains operated transformerless flasher circuit that can be used for alternately switching a couple of CFL or similar 220V/120V lamp to produce a decorative lighting effect. Circuit Operation The below shown design depicts a simple mains operated dual or alternate lamp flasher, which is designed to flash or blink two mains operated […]
220 V Slow Fade Bedside Lamp Circuit
The operating principle of this children’s night light is to gradually familiarize the child with darkness by gradually reducing the brightness of their bedside lamp. The room’s brightness will slowly fade away and completely extinguish after a duration ranging approximately between twenty minutes and 5 to 7 hours. This duration can be adjusted from week […]
