You can use this circuit to give auto trigger for your secondary flash light. You don’t have to worry about wiring for the control, because using this circuit your secondary flash will be automati8cally triggered when it receive the light signal from the primary flash. Look at the circuit’s schematic diagram below. The [...]

Using a standard fluorescent tube lamp (TL), you can make your own disco light, similar to a stroboscope light. You can even use a half-broken lamp, which one side of the heating filaments has broken. This circuit use only one side heating filament inside the tube. Look at the circuit’s schematic below. [...]

Testing whether a transistor is shorted or open usually done by ohm meter. You test if the base to emitter or collector permit a current flow in one direction. Here is the circuit’s schematic diagram: The 555 timer ( IC1 ) operate as a 12hz oscillator. The output of this oscillator (pin 3) [...]

This LED flasher give similar circuit with the previous transistor LED flasher, but this circuit use a 555 integrated circuit chip as the active component. Here is the schematic diagram of the LED flasher circuit: This circuit gives alternating LED flashing, but with different flashing period between LED 1 and LED 2. The [...]

This is circuit of soft light dimmer. This circuit uses the IGBT STGP10N50A and the TS555 timer as main components. Here is the circuit: The timer is triggered on the zero crossing voltage pulse. The time constant determined by C5/R14+R15 that is used to determine the conduction angle. The T2 – T3 inhibits [...]
