TRIAC Light Controller - This project is intended for
controlling mains powered disco lighting, although there are many other
possible uses for controlling almost any mains appliance. It will control
five seperate channels at up to 3 Amp per channel. This could be
increased by designing another PCB with wider tracks than the PCB included
with this design..... [Matthew Hewson's circuit]
TRIAC Light Dimmer - This little circuit can be used to dim
lights up to about350-Watts. It uses a simple, standard TRIAC circuit
that, in my experience, generates very little heat. Please note that this
circuit cannot be used with fluorescent lights. (added 4/02)
Triac lighting and heating controller uses few parts - 2-Sep-04
Issue of EDN The triac lighting-control circuit in Figure 1 is small
and inexpensive because load and housekeeping power come directly from the
line voltage, thereby eliminating bulky, expensive supplies. The CLZD010
closed-loop controller maintains constant light intensity by automatically
adjusting the..... [Design Idea by David Caldwell, Flextek Electronics,

Tricolor LEDs create a flashing array 24-Jun-10 Issue of EDN You can build a
matrix of RGB (red/green/blue) LEDs using a simple and inexpensive circuit comprising
the control logic and driver circuit in Figure 1 and some LEDs (Figure 2). The center
RGB LED is the first to come on, after which each sequential LED in the 8×8-LED matrix
follows. This process gives the appearance that the display is alive and moving
outward. This sequence repeats, producing a rainbow effect of colors.....

Trigger Circuit for Strobes - circuits which can be used for triggering
stroboscopes from external signals (added 4/02)
