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 ...

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 ...

A modification of the current-control circuit in a low-voltage LED system allows use of a chopped supply voltage to modulate the LED intensity. The circuit prevents inrush current to the decoupling ...

Solid-state lighting (SSL) differs from conventional lighting in that it uses light-emitting diodes (LEDs) instead of filaments, plasma, or gases. Although still relatively early in its development, ...

The quest for energy efficiency has led manufacturers to investigate ways of dimming all kinds of lighting technologies, including those that usually can’t be dimmed. Consider, for example, ...

Solid state lighting applications are expanding as higher performance LEDs are now available. One application getting considerable attention is the retrofit of existing triac-based dimmers by ...

Bright and efficient, if a little expensive, LED light bulbs seem an ideal replacement for incandescent light bulbs. What do you have to do to make an LED-based light bulb behave just like the real, ...

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 ...

To simplify incandescent-like LED dimming – where colour temperature (CCT) falls with intensity – Dialog Semi has introduced a single chip dual output power converter that needs no microcontroller.

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. If you've ever wished you could adjust the lighting in your home ...

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Littelfuse, Inc., the global leader in circuit protection, will be showcasing cutting edge circuit protection technology, including a complete portfolio of semiconductor ...

In my Treatlife Wi-Fi dimmer switch review last April, I remarked that it was a basic and ultra-cheap but workable option for an in-wall smart dimmer. The company responded that it has been busy ...
