Links to electronic circuits, electronic schematics, designs for engineers, hobbyists, students & inventors:

Lamp Dimmer (Stepan Novotill) - This must generate an awfull lot of RFI without a choke! The house wiring supplies the di/dt limiting. This is a CHEAP design which exhibits hysterisys at dim settings. Not everything made and sold to the public is top notch. (added 2/05)

Lantern Flasher/Dimmer - The electronic lantern control circuit adds high-efficiency dimming and flashing to an existing battery-powered lantern or flashlight or to a custom design.  For the car it makes a great lamp for changing a flat tire, back seat reading or emergency engine work.  The flasher mode is useful for warning other drivers of your troubles and it may be adjusted ,... (Tony van Roon's electronic design added 2/06)

Lantern Flasher/Dimmer (techlib) - The electronic lantern control circuit (fig. 1) adds high-efficiency dimming and flashing to an existing battery-powered lantern or flashlight or to a custom design. For the car it makes a great lamp for changing a flat tire, back seat reading or emergency engine work. The flasher mode is useful for warning other drivers....(circuit / schematic design added 6/06)

Lantern Flasher/Dimmer (tomzi.geo) - Basically a high-efficiency dimmer, but can also be used as a flasher. In dimmer mode, the LM358 (dual op-amp) is wired to send pulses at a constant frequency. By adjusting the width of these pulses, brightness of the bulb is controlled. In flasher mode, the same potentiometer....(added 10/05)

LED Dimmer uses Only Two Lines - 03/21/02 EDN-Design Ideas: The circuit in Figure 1provides 32 steps of brightness control-from 0 to 100%-for a backlight or instrument panel, using just two general-purpose-microprocessor signals. In addition, the circuit requires little board space, because it uses only three SOT-23s and one Max package.....(design idea added 1/05)

LED or Incadescent 12 Volt Lamp Fader - (electronic circuit added 6/07)

Light Controller Variations - Diagrams are for12V operation and there are high side (common ground) and low side (common +12V) versions (added 5/02)

Light Dimmer Circuit with 0 to 10 Volt Input - This is a simple dimmer circuit that can be controlled with0 -10 VDC. It is designed for 110-Volt AC. (added 4/02)

Linear Constant Current LED Lamp Dimmer - This circuits drives24 white light LEDs with an adjustable constant current. (added 6/06)

Low Voltage Light Dimmer - A light dimmer is a means of controlling the "brightness" level of a lamp, in this application we will use a555 Timer to control the brightness level of a low voltage incandescent bulb of up to 60-Watts. For the light dimmer to work the555 Timer is configured as a "variable cycle", astable oscillator running some where around300 Hz. (added 7/03)

Neon Dimmer - idea how to dim neon lights (added 4/02)

Neon Lamp dimmer - (circuit added 05/07)

PC Controls Light Dimmer - 08/19/99 EDN-Design Ideas: control one light dimming from PC.....(design idea added 6/06)

PIC 16c63 MIDI Controlled Light Dimmer - four channel dimmer controlable using MIDI interface, operates at110-Volt AC, design can be modified to use standard baud rates, and the RS-232 Electrical interface (added 6/07)

PICDIM Lamp Dimmer for the PIC12C508 - Microchip Application Note Published 12-Nov-97  (app note added 2/06)

PWM Motor Speed Controller/DC Light Dimmer - DC Light Dimmer using a LM324 IC (circuit / schematic design added 6/06)

PWM Motor/Light Controller - The diagrams are for 12V operation only and there are high side (common ground) and low side (common +12V) versions. The low side version of the circuit uses an N Channel FET, the high side version of the circuit uses a P Channel FET. N Channel devices tend to handle more current than P Channel devices, they are also less expensive. The high side version of the circuit is useful when one side of the load has to be grounded....(circuit add 6/07)
