This is perhaps the most simplest looking LED flasher that does not depend on any semiconductor. This LED blinker circuit utilizes ordinary passive components like a few resistors, a capacitor and an LDR. Meaning, this LED flasher does not depend on transistors or ICs to create the blinking effect. Circuit Description The LED-LDR combination is […]

Light Emitting Diodes (LED) Explained
The full form of LED is Light Emitting Diode. LEDs are special type of semiconductor diodes which emit light in response to a potential difference applied across their terminals, hence the name light emitting diode. Just like a normal diode LEDs also have two terminals with polarity, namely anode and cathode. To illuminate an LED […]
Light Meter Circuit with LED Bar Graph
In this article I have explained 3 different light meter circuits for measuring power of light. In the first method we will use only a solar cell and a multimeter, in the second method we will use an op amp and a moving coil meter, and in the third method we will see how a […]
LED Oscilloscope Circuit
The simple LED oscilloscope circuit I have explained in this article can be used for analyzing low frequency waveform through a 10 x 10 LED matrix display. Due to the involvement of only 100 LEDs in the display board, the resolution is low, and the waveform display clarity is not so impressive. Yet, this LED […]
How to Design Simple LED Driver Circuits
In this article I have explained how to design your own customized, simple LED driver circuits at home. We will learn how to calculate specific LED configurations for applying the LEDs with appropriate LED driver power supplies. In these driver power supplies I have explained two concepts one by using SMPS boards and the other […]
Medical Store LED Cross Sign Circuit [Plus Sign]
In this post I have explained how to make an interesting yet simple running LED cross sign or plus sign module for displaying in front of medical stores. Nowadays, it is very common to witness illuminated flashing, chasing LED cross signs in front of medical stores, which work like an advertisement board for attracting the […]
