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 […]
LED Brake Light Circuit for Motorcycle and Car
In this post I have explained how to make and replace existing bulb type brake lights in vehicles with high efficiency LED lamps.The idea was requested by Mr. Awan. Technical Specifications I would like to build a brake lamp project using 1 watt high power leds, consisting of 12-15 leds. the leds would light on […]
10 LED Tachometer Circuit Diagram
In this post I have explained how an accurate 10 LED tachometer circuit can be built using ordinary parts like IC 555 and IC LM3915. The idea was requested by Mr. Munsif. What is a Tachometer A tachometer is a device which is used for measuring vehicle engine RPM. Thus, it is basically used for […]
Automotive LED Driver Circuits – Design Analysis
In cars or automobiles, LEDs have grown to be the preferred choice of lighting. Whether it’s the rear tail-lights or the tell-tale indicators in the cluster as indicated in Figure 1 below, all incorporate LEDs nowadays. Their compact dimensions helps versatility in design and offers the prospective to be as durable as the vehicle’s life […]
Automotive Display LED-backlight Driver Circuit using LP8864-Q1
The LP8864-Q1 is this cool automotive high-efficiency LED driver that comes with a boost controller. Basically it is made to efficiently power the LEDs in your car. It has got these four high-precision current sinks that do something called phase shifting. What is neat is that this phase shifting automatically adjusts based on how many […]
