The 4 simple light activated day night switch circuits explained here can all be used for controlling a load, normally a 220V lamp, in response to the varying levels of the surrounding ambient light. The circuit can be used as a commercial automatic street light control system, as a domestic porch light or corridor light […]

LED Driver Power Supply Circuit Using Dimmer Switch
In this post I have explained an effective and efficient high current compact LED Driver power supply using a dimmer switch gadget. In one of my other posts I discussed a high voltage transformerless power supply circuit that used a triac for controlling the capacitive output, however since the concept involved shorting the capacitive output […]
Float Switch Controlled Water Level Controller Circuit
The post narrates a simple water level controller circuit using a float switch mechanism. The idea was requested by Mr. tpraveenraj. Technical Specifications I’m a electronic hobbyist from software field. So I try with the things in the weekend. I saw your blog recently and really admired to test this circuit, and when I went […]
Automatic Inverter Fan Switch ON while Charging and Inverting Modes
In this post I have explained a simple method of automatically switching ON an inverter fan whenever the unit is operating in the charging mode or inverter mode, in order to ensure optimum cooling of the internal power devices. The idea was requested by Mr. Sudip Bepary. Circuit Objectives and Requirements I have just bought […]
Reed Switch – Working, Application Circuits
In this post I will comprehensively explain about reed switch functioning, and how to make simple reed switch circuits. What is Reed Switch Reed switch also called reed relay, is a low current magnetic switch with a concealed pair of contacts that close and open in response to magnetic field near it. The contacts are […]
Pressure Switch Water Pump Controller Circuit
A pressure switch is a device which can be used for detecting water pressure in a tank and operate a water pump motor when the pressure gets too low, or the water in the tank goes lower than a desired minimum level. In this post I have explained a water pressure controller circuit for maintaining […]
