In this post I have explained how to use the control pin#5 of the IC 555 to build a simple PWM controlled DC light dimmer circuit. The proposed DC lamp dimmer can be used for controlling the light intensity of any DC lamp having an operating voltage anywhere between 6 V and 12 V. The […]

SMPS LED Bulb Circuit with Dimmer Control using IC IRS2530D
Today we are going to look into a very high efficiency resonant-mode off-line LED driver circuit. It is based on a very popular Infineon article which uses the IRS2530D DIM8 controller IC. Normally electronic ballast technology is used for old fluorescent tube lights, but here Infineon used the same concept to drive high power LEDs […]
LED Strip Light Dimmer Controller Circuit
In this post I have explained a simple IC 555 based PWM controller circuit which may be used for controlling the intensity of a specified LED bank or an 12V LED strip light. The idea was requested by Mr. Rajdeep. Technical Specifications Fantastic blog you have got. I learnt many things from your blog. I […]
How to Add a Dimmer Facility to a LED Bulb
In this article I have explained how to make an LED dimmer circuit for enabling a dimming facility to any mains operated LEDs bulb. Update: [Using Capacitors, it Works] If you think PWM dimming control might not work for commercial LED bulbs, then the best method is to use series capacitors, which might just do […]
Push-Button Light Dimmer Circuit
In this post I have explained the construction details of a triac based push-button dimmer circuit which can be used for controlling incandescent, and fluorescent lamp brightness through push-button pressing. Another feature of this dimmer is its memory, which retains the brightness level even during power outages, and provides the same lamp intensity after power […]
LED Night Lamp with Dimmer Circuit
In this post I have explained a simple plug-in type night lamp circuit with delayed switch OFF and dimming facilities. The entire circuit is built using a transformerless power supply which ensures that the unit is very compact and can be plugged into any existing 220V mains AC socket. Circuit Description The electronic schematic of […]
