Fig 1. This voltage regulator circuit (a) uses green LEDs as both the stabilization elements and as the voltage indicators at the front-panel switch (b). Fig 2. The addition of resistor R4 to the ...
One of the questions that hobbyists ask over and over is how to select the value of a current limiting resistor for an LED. Usually the seat of the pants response is: “Subtract 2 V from the supply ...
High-power LEDs promise a growing number of advantages, including lower long-term cost and longer life, over both incandescent light bulbs for interior For the PDF version of this article, click here.
