This is a circuit in which LED glows slowly in the beginning, then grows brighter and once again slowly it becomes dim. The basis of the whole circuit is an operational amplifier IC named LM358. This ...

Frank Hertel’s project: three individually dimmable LED lights. (Frank is the master of recycling; the wooden mounting pedestals are the panels from a decommissioned ATI console!) Thanks for your ...

This is a very simple LED dimmer circuit which has 2 transistors, 1 resistor and 2 potentiometers. Typical segment displays LEDs consume around 25 mA for each segment and should be limited to this ...

Fig. 1: The dimmer circuit schematic showing the filtering capacitors. Rob Atkinson, K5UJ, is an engineer out of Saint Charles, Ill., and one of the many readers who enjoy the DIY projects we feature ...

A recent discussion with Scott Brown of iWatt revealed some interesting facts about the design of IC drivers for consumer LED lighting. Although LED lifetime can reach about 20 years and the power ...
