How a LED works – Light Emitting Diode working

Watch the video given below to get a better idea on how LED works?  A light emitting diode (LED) is known to be one of the best optoelectronic devices out of the lot. The device is capable of emitting a fairly narrow bandwidth of visible or invisible light when its internal diode junction attains a […]

Air craft warning light circuit

Introduction. Here is low cost circuit that can be used for implementing a warning light on the top of tall structures as a warning for low flying aircrafts. Usually such lights are just stay glow type. Here our light is a flashing type, and surely this will draw more attention and of course add more

Modified lamp dimmer circuit

Description. This is a modification of the circuit Simple Lamp Dimmer/Fan Regulator  previously  posted here. The working of the circuit is same as that of the previous, but in addition a snubber circuit consisting of resistor R4 and capacitor C3  is included to improve the performance of the triac T1. A fuse is also included

Flasher Circuit using NE 555

In this project, we’re building a simple Lamp Flasher circuit using NE 555. A lamp flasher is nothing but a lamp dimmer circuit – where the lamp is turned ON/OFF at set frequency or time intervals. We’ve designed this circuit using the most popular and common components like the NE/SE 555 IC. Let’s begin our

Touch Dimmer for Lamps

This is an interesting project where the intensity of a lamp can be controlled by touch. Most lamps only have an on/off switch. They don’t have any regulators to increase or decrease the intensity of lighting. Having such a built-in feature is available for some expensive lamps. But the same can be achieved without emptying
