LED Pilot Light using FET

This is the LED pilot light (or LED indicator) circuit. LEDs (Light Emitting Diode) part are interesting things. They only operate at DC supply within specific tolerances, and generally connected with a current limiting resistor towards the power source. Rather than a resistor, it is possible to use a FET (Field Effect Transistor) like the… Read More »

220V Light Dimmer

This simple 220V light dimmer circuit can be used to adjust the brightness of mains lights. It also can be used to adjust the speed of AC motors. It uses a triac, diac and has a radio-frequency interference (RFI) noise suppression circuit built into it as well. Schematic diagram: Components List: R1 = 10K R2… Read More »

220V LED Flasher

This is a 220V LED flasher circuit which is intended as a reliable replacement to thermally-activated switches used for Christmas tree lamp-flashing. This a low cost circuit and easy to built since it only use little amount of electronic components.. Schematic diagram: Component Parts: R1_________ 100K R2,R5______ 1K R3,R6______ 470R R4_________ 12K C1_________ 1000uF 25V… Read More »
