In this post I have explained a simple method for making an inexpensive LED name plate with illuminated back light, which can be made by incorporating only 4 LEDs and yet acquire a dazzling back light illumination for the name plate. Introduction LEDs are no doubt gaining popularity by leaps and bounds and probably most […]

LED Fader Circuit – Slow Rise, Slow Fall LED Effect Generator
In the following post I have explained a simple circuit which can be used for alternately switching LEDs with gradual brightening and fading effects. Circuit Operation The circuit can be effectively used for generating spooky effects in idols, for example it can be used for illuminating the eyes of a Jack-o’-lantern during haloween celebrations. The […]
Using a Fan Dimmer for Controlling LED Intensity
The circuit idea I have I have explained in this article can be used for controlling the intensity of many LEDs through a ceiling fan dimmer switch unit. This circuit was requested by Mr. Joseph who wanted a simple method through which an ordinary home dimmer switch could be integrated with a chain of LEDs for controlling its brightness from […]
SMD LED based Emergency Lamp Circuit
An emergency lamp using SMD LEDs is able to generate illuminations with extreme brightness due to the high efficiency of the SMD type LEDs. Moreover, SMD LEDs also ensure the unit will be very compact and lightweight. The following post explains a simple circuit diagram of an automatic emergency lamp using 36 nos. SMD LEDs. The circuit […]
Simplest 100 Watt LED Bulb Circuit
In this article I have explained a very simple 100 watt LED bulb circuit using a few high voltage capacitors. The entire circuit could be built at a cost less than $25. I have already discussed many capacitive type of transformerless power supply circuits in this blog, however all these suffers from a couple of […]
110V Compact LED Tubelight Circuit
In this article I have explained a simple single IC LED tube ligt circuit applicable for 110V/120V AC inputs. The circuit uses 30 numbers of 1 watt LEDs, and also includes a voltage and current control features. In my previous post I discussed the IC TL783 which is a 1.25V to 120V variable DC regulator […]
