This little circuit can be used to dim lights up to about 350 watts. It uses a simple, standard TRIAC circuit that, in my expirience, generates very little heat. Please note that this circuit cannot be used with fluorescent lights... -
In this circuit, a 120VAC lamp is slowly illuminated over a approximate 20 minute period. The bridge rectifier supplies 120 DC to the MOSFET and 60 watt lamp. A 6.2K, 5 watt resistor and zener diode is used to drop the voltage to 12 volts DC for the circuit.... -

If you ground the blue wire at the headlamp switch and the lights come on the switch is bad. I know you have already checked continuity of the switch though. If I recall the relay has 2 small terminals and 2 larger ones. The one smaller one should that has.... -
This handy circuit can be used as a speed controller for a 12V motor rated up to 5A (continuous) or as a dimmer for a 12V halogen or standard incandescent lamp rated up to 50W. It varies the power to the load (motor or lamp) using pulse width modulation.... -
In many cases, the dimmer presented here may be built into a wall-mounted box containing the light switch. It is intended for use with 240 V incandescent lamps only. When it is fitted, and the light is switched on, the lamp does not come on fully for about.... -
This circuit shows that dimmers intended for use at mains voltage do not always have to contain a triac. Here, a MOSFET (BUZ41A, 500 V/4. 5A) in a diode bridge is used to control the voltage across an incandescent bulb with pulse-width modulation (PWM). A.... -
Most dimmers use pulse width modulation (PWM) to control the amount of power that is delivered to the lamp. Those that come bundled with a switch faceplate control the firing angle of a Triac on the 240V mains side. These work fine with resistive loads but.... -
This circuit is the basis for the dimmers in a model theatre lighting system which uses touch globes as the light source. The circuit is based around a 555 timer, driving a Triac. All dimmers share the one power supply and zero-crossing detector. As it will.... -
This is yet another project born of necessity. It`s a simple circuit, but does exactly what it`s designed to do - dim LED lights or control the speed of 12V DC motors. The circuit uses PWM to regulate the effective or average current through the LED array,.... -
Intro & disclaimer For all you guys out there that want a fading dome light (aka courtesy light aka theatre lighting) without having to pay for.... -
This project is a wonderful idea of saving electric bill when you are using a heavy wattage bulbs. With miniature components and extreme care you can build a low power lamp dimmer right into the socket. Instead of a relativity expensive trigger diode, an.... -

A dimmer for individual LED bulbs. LEDs (light emitting diodes) are very sensitive components - exceed their rated current or voltage and their lifespan can be slashed from 50, 000+ hours to an eventful microsecond. LEDs are current-driven * which means that.... -
Maybe you ever use LM555 as timer project before, yes it also nice if you want to make analog timer using LM555. According datasheet LM555 this IC can use for several purpose in electronic project like to adjust timer according time needed. From figure 1.... -
A pulse width modulator (PWM) is a device that may be used as an efficient light dimmer or DC motor speed controller. The circuit described here is for a general purpose device that can control DC devices which draw up to a few amps of current. The circuit.... -
Touching dimmer circuit is shown in the following diagram. It uses finger touch control pieceto realize turning on, off or stepless adjustment for incandescent light. It is used in the dimmer of filament lamp, small AC motor`s stepless speed regulation.... -
This circuit is an improved version of the circuit shown in Fig. 8-21. The hysteresis effect is eliminated by the addition of two diodes and the 5.1 -k? resistor. The RC network across the triac is a snubber to prevent line transients from accidentally.... -
