[GlobalSpec-AD/ad-smSQ-ihsGS.htm] 
  • Table Lamp With Auxiliary 12v Automotive Style LED Light  -  This circuit provides about one watt of non-isolated DC power for an automotive type 12v LED array lamp in addition to a standard incandescent table lamp . . . [Circuit by David A. Johnson P.E.,  07/09/06]
     

  • Tester for Pulsed LEDs  -  This circuit is designed to test visible and infrared LEDs in pulsed mode operations. It can drive the LED with peak currents in excess of 10 Amps. A light detector nearby can monitor the response time and intensity of the LED under test . . . [Hobby Circuit designed by David Johnson P.E.,  06/17/00]
