Low Power Consumption Indicator with Blinking LED

Low Power Requirement of Indication and The Solution Visual indication using light emitting diode becomes very common, because LED technology offer many benefits: low power consumption, durable, and cheap. Some indication must be able to draw strong attention, or at least it must be very clear to read whether its state is on of off. In some application, the requirement […]

High Voltage 220V AC Lamp Flasher Using 555 IC

Similar with previous high voltage  flip-flop circuit, this circuit controls high voltage (powerline) bulbs (220V AC). Instead of using transistors, this circuit uses NE555 integrated circuit, a very popular chip for timer or oscillator application. The required low voltage supply for 555 IC is provided by direct converter, made up by D1, R1, DZ1, and C1. This low voltage is […]

Hi-Lo (Treble-Bass) Disco Lamp Controller

Using high (treble) and low  (bass) frequency  beat detection to control stage lamps can produce automatic light jockey for disco or any music performance. Instead of using general level of music signal to control a disco lamp, the circuit presented here uses two separate channel to give more complex variation of light flashing pattern. The dynamics of music signal is […]
