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 ...

I made this dimmer circuit because I have a cheap chinese LED lamp that doesn’t have the option to dim its light. It is a simple PWM dimmer built with the well-knows 555 integrated circuit and a power ...

Dialog Semiconductor has improved its LED light dimming intellectual property. “The first LED driver from this new platform, the iW3688, delivers smooth, flicker and shimmer-free dimming supporting ...

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 ...

The LM3445 from National Semiconductor enables a full 100:1 range of offline, uniform, flicker-free dimming for high-brightness LEDs with a conventional TRIAC forward or reverse phase-control wall ...

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 ...
