Fading Red Eyes
Fading Red Eyes
January 16, 2011

This circuit is used to slowly illuminate and fade a pair of red LEDs (light emitting diodes). The fading LEDs could be installed as 'eyes' in a small pumpkin or skull as a Halloween attraction,... [more]

Automatic 12 Volt Lamp Fader
Automatic 12 Volt Lamp Fader
January 16, 2011

This circuit is similar to the "Fading Red Eyes" circuit (in the LED section) used to fade a pair of red LEDs. In this version, the lamps are faded by varying the duty cycle so... [more]

1.5 Hour Lamp Fader (Sunset Lamp)
December 28, 2010

The sunset lamp comes on at full brightness and then slowly fades out over 1.5 hours time and stays off until power is recycled. [more]

Sunrise Lamp
Sunrise Lamp
December 28, 2010

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... [more]

12 Volt Lamp Dimmer
12 Volt Lamp Dimmer
December 27, 2010

Here is a 12 volt / 2 amp lamp dimmer that can be used to dim a standard 25 watt automobile brake or backup bulb by controlling the duty cycle of a astable 555 timer... [more]

Courtesy Light
November 11, 2010

This circuit is intended to let the user turn off a lamp by means of a switch placed far from bed, allowing him enough time to lie down before the lamp really switches off. Obviously,... [more]

Instrument panel lamp dimmer control
Instrument panel lamp dimmer control
October 27, 2010

This circuit uses an MC3392 low side protected switch and an MC1455 timing circuit to form an automotive instrumentation panel lamp dimmer control. The brightness of incandescent lamps can be varied by Pulse Width Modulating... [more]

Dome Lamp Dimmer
Dome Lamp Dimmer
October 16, 2010

There are times when a little light inside the car would greatly assist one of the passengers but the dome light is too bright for safe driving. [more]

TRIAC Light Dimmer
TRIAC Light Dimmer
October 12, 2010

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... [more]
