Simple 4 Watt LED Driver Circuit Using IC 338
This 4 watt LED driver is a device that will illuminate a 4 watt LED safely through a constant current circuit using the IC LM338. The IC LM338 as we know is a highly versatile device when it comes to controlling voltages and current levels. Circuit Configuration In the present design, the device is configured […]
5630 SMD LED Driver/Tube light Circuit
In this post I have explained a simple transformerless SMD 5630 type LED tube light circuit which can be built by anybody for illuminating home interior cheaply. The idea was requested by Mr. Smeet. Technical Specifications I am a very big fan of your website and it has been much helpful to me in my […]
Transformerless Constant Current LED Driver Circuit
In this post I have explained how just a single IC MBI6001 can be used as a transformerless constant current LED driver circuit for illuminating a chain of many LED in series. The MBI6001 series of ICs are designed to work with mains AC inputs and convert it into a lower voltage DC output which […]
CREE XM-L T6 LED Driver Circuit – Specifications and Practical Application
This article explains how to illuminate a Cree XM-L T6 LED using a current controlled driver circuit while the supply input is from a battery, or in case a mains SMPS is intended as the driver unit. The idea was requested by Mr. Jaco. Technical Specifications Thanks for the great advice and circuits! Have you […]
