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 - Schematic only, no circuit description. . .
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. . .
Triac lighting and heating controller uses feW parts - 09/02/04 EDN Design Idea 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. . . [by David Caldwell, Flextek

Turn on the aquarium lights every day at the same
time - Turn on the sprinkler or the
aquarium lighting for the same period of the day. You can choose to operate the output by every 2nd, 3rd day
only. There is a manual start/stop button to immediately turn on or off the output, and a disable button to
completely turn off automatic operation. . . [Peter Jakab, Electrical Engineer, Engineer of Informatics]

Two button control - Two button control systems are used on dangerous industrial machines in
order to protect the operator’s hands. Just for hobby I made a circuit that turns on a relay by pressing two
buttons simultaneously. . . . [Andrea, I live in Central Italy]
Two buttons
provide safe start - 07/06/00 EDN
Design Idea The circuit in Figure 1 provides a safety interlock that checks the actuation of two pushbuttons
before enabling a relay. When you push both buttons, the circuit actuates the relay. At that point, you can
release one of the switch. . . [by Vincent Himpe, Alcatel Microelectronics, Desselgem, BelgiumVincent Himpe,

Two Light Controlled Relays - These two circuits use LDRs (Light Dependent Resistors). Circuit No. 1
energizes the relay when the light rises above a preset level. Use it to switch things on at dawn. Circuit No. 2
energizes the relay when the light falls below a preset level. Use it to switch things on at dusk. . . . [Ron
J.'s circuit]
Two Line Intercom
Plus a Telephone Changeover Switch -
The circuit presented here can be used for connecting two telephones in parallel and also as a 2-line intercom.
Usually a single telephone is connected to a telephone line. If another telephone is required at some distance, a
parallel line is taken for connecting the other telephone. In this simple parallel line operation, the main
problem is loss. . .
Two Temperature Controlled Relays - These two circuits use Thermistors (Temperature Dependent Resistors).
Circuit No. 1 energizes the relay when the temperature rises above a preset level. Use it to switch things on
when it gets hot. Circuit No. 2 energizes the relay when the temperature falls below a preset level. Use it to
switch things on when it gets cold. . . . [Electronic design by Ron J.]
Two wire 4 by 4 key keyboard interface saves power - 08/17/06 EDN Design Idea Resistor matrix and microcontroller encode
keypad - You can use a microcontroller that includes an ADC to design a two-wire-plus-ground keyboard interface.
For example, you can use a resistive voltage divider to identify a. . . [by Stefano Salvatori, University of
