Cree XLamp XM-L LED Datasheet
The XLamp XM-LED can be considered as the highest performing, single die solid state LED module which is able to produce lights at ultra bright intensities. I have explained it’s datasheet, specifications. High Illumination Efficacy Due to it’s ultra bright and high efficiency values, the Xlamp becomes highly suitable for applications such as in automotive headlamps, stadium flood lights, […]
3 LED Battery Level Indicator Circuit
The proposed 3 LED battery level indicator can be typically used for monitoring a 12 V lead acid battery charge level, through 3 distinct LED illumination. The entire circuit is built using just a couple of BJTs , a few zener diodes, resistors and LEDs. Different Ways to Check Battery Voltage A hydrometer is perhaps […]
LED Tail Ring Light Circuit for your Car
In the following post I have explained a fancy LED sequencing/diverging ring light circuit which can be used as a tail brake light in cars. The idea was requested by one of the avid readers of this blog, Mr. Bobby. I have explained more. Technical Specifications: Hello, I was just reading thru your wonderful article […]
How to Make Car LED Chasing Tail Light, Brake Light Circuit
I am presenting a circuit design here in response to a request sent by one of the avid readers of this blog. The proposed circuit is of a sequential LED light driver, especially designed to suit the application of a multipurpose car tail light indicator. Circuit Connections The circuit is integrated to the brake switch […]
Bicycle LED Light Circuit Using a Single 1.5V Cell
The proposed bike flasher flashes two white LEDs from a single 1.5V cell by using a solitary general purpose transistor, and does not need core for the involved transformer, the main core being the Air itself. Using Joule Thief Concept Every Joule Thief circuit uses ferrite rod or toroid core and its turns are wounded […]
