Can you imagine illuminating four numbers of 1 watt LEDs through a a few 1.5V cells? Looks quite impossible. But it can be done simply using a coil of ordinary speaker wire, a transistor, a resistor and of-course a 1.5V pencil cell. The idea was suggested to me by one the keen followers of this […]

1 watt LED Lamp Circuit Diagram using SMD LEDs
The post comprehensively discusses the construction procedure of a 1 watt LED lamp using SMD LEDs such as 3528 smd LEDs or 2214 SMD LEDs. I have explained the details. 1 Watt LED vs 3528 smd LEDs or 2214 SMD LEDs Today 1 watt LEDs are very popular and these are utilized in most LED lamp […]
Blinking 3 LEDs (R,G,B) Sequentially Using Arduino Circuit
In this post I have explained how to run or blink three LEDs in sequence using Arduino. The post was written and submitted by: Jack Franko PROGRAM/* make RGB LEDs to blink in series one by one at intervalof 1000MS */ int R = 12;int G = 11;int B = 10;void setup(){ pinMode(R,OUTPUT); pinMode(G,OUTPUT); pinMode(B,OUTPUT);}void […]

The Circuit Question I stumbled upon your blog and I love it! So much great information and great ideas Right now I am trying to figure out […]
Capacitor Based LED Tubelight Using 1 Watt LEDs
In this post I have explained the construction of a homemade 100 watt capacitive tubelight circuit using 1 watt LEDs. The idea was requested, constructed, tested and verified by one the avid readers of this blog Mr. Tamam. Let’s go through the entire discussion. Discussing the Proposed The Design I regularly visit your blog, and […]
Using Aluminum Strip Heatsink for Hi-watt LEDs instead of PCB
Whenever we come across using 1 watt LEDs or other higher watt LEDs, we are always advised to use high grade aluminum based heatsinks for safeguarding the LEDs from heat, and for acquiring optimal performance from them. Double Side PCB can be Costly However as we all know such PCBs are highly costly and could […]
