I am playing with LEDs for few month and during that time some little projects were born, but now I need a system to handle the logical part and the power distribution. I simply just can't use an Arduino board, or any other development board: I need a proper power handling embedded in a small space, … Continue reading Lino Project

Tiny, robust, low cost, fail-safe LED driver: the Glighter-S project
It has been a while since the last LED related article. Was experimented the linear current source, its pros and cons and the field of application. Now arises the need of a small version, handling the same high power, things that are contrapposed in the linear regulator. I need something that I can bring with … Continue reading Tiny, robust, low cost, fail-safe LED driver: the Glighter-S project
Current sources for LEDs – Glighter: a multichannel LED Driver
A power constant current source, high speed, for power LEDs. Taken all the errors made previously, I tried a new linear based current source which should be kept "simple" and "fast".
Current sources for LEDs: firsts DIY impressions
Recently I found that today almost lighbulbs are made with power LEDs. And surprisingly most of them are made so cheap that the controller fails far away before its lifetime. At least for what I've experienced with few models. Most of them seems to work well, and I think that LEDs are the future for … Continue reading Current sources for LEDs: firsts DIY impressions
