A phase-controlled dimmer delays the triac turn-on to a selected point in each successive ac half cycle. Use this circuit only for incandescent lamps, heaters, soldering irons,..
The two lamp-dimmer circuits differ in that (a) employs a single-time-constant trigger network and (b) uses a double-time-constant trigger circuit that reduces hysteresis effects and thereby extends the effective range of the light-control potentiometer. (Hysteresisre-fers to a difference in the control potentiometer setting at which the lamp turns on and the setting at which the light is extinguished) The additional capacitor C2 in (b) reduces hysteresis by charging to a.....
A light dimmer, a 1 µf capacitor and a 12 V car ignition coil form the simple line powered HV generator. The current in the dimmer is shown in Fig. B. At times tp t2, set by the dimmer switch, the inner triac of the dimmer switches on, and a very high and very fast current pulse charges the capacitor through the primary of the induction coil. Then at a rate of 120 times per second for a 60 Hz line, a very high voltage pulse appears at the secondary of the coil...
This wide-range light dimmer circuit uses a unijunction transistor and a pulse transformer to provide phase control for the TRIAC. The circuit operates from a 115 volt, 60 Hz source and can control up to 800 watts of power to incandescent lights. The power to the lights is controlled by varying the conduction angle of the TRIAC from 0° to about 170°. ..
Using a heatsink, the TRIAC (TR1) can handle up to 350 watts. The neon lamp, II, won't trip the gate until after it conducts and using Rl, set the lighting wherever you want it. ..
This cross fader circuit can be used for fading between two slide projectors. As R3 is moved to either side of center, one triac is fired earlier in each half cycle, and the other iater. ..
This circuit is suitable for fitting into slide projectors without a dimmer facility as witb 24-Vac fed halogen lamps. With a few small alterations, it can also be used for dimming 12-V halogen lamps, but not those in a car, because these are fed from a de source. The circuit shown in Fig. 50-1a is intended for operation from a 24-Vac supply, and can handle a lamp load of up to 150 W. For loads up to 250 W, the TIC236 should be replaced by a TIC246. ..
This circuit is intended for use with motors, lamps,heatings etc. Continuously from nearly zero up to maximum capacity (5-95%). Almost lossfree control by means of this impulse control. Nearly total turning moment of motors. The transistior T3 must absolutely be fastened on a heatsink with minimum dimentions of approximate 100x100x5mm. The heatsink has to be fixed insulated as the transistor has a conductive connection between the C-connection and the metal rear side...
A low power, low cost dc lamp dimmer for a two-wire portable "flashlight" can be realized with little or no heatsinking. In addition, a single potentiometer, R3 adjusts lamp brightness. Battery power is stored in Cl for Ul, which is a free-running multivibrator whose frequency is determined by Rl, R2, R3, R4, and C2. ..

This circuit switches car headlights to the low beam state when it senses the lights of an on-coming car. The received light is very low level and highly directional, indicating the use of a lens with the detector. A relatively large amount of hysteresis is built into the circuit to prevent "flashing lights."..
A Seimens SLB0586A IC allows the construction of a simple touch-controlled dirrauer circuit. The circuit controls a triac ac switch,..
A full range power controller suitable for lamp dimming and similar applications operate from a 120 volt, 60 Hz ac source, and can control up to 1000 watts of power to incandescent bulbs. The power to the bulbs is varied by controlling the conduction angle of TRIAC Ql. At the end of each positive half-cycle when the applied voltage drops below that of the capacitor, gate current flows out of the SBS and it switches on, discharging the capacitor to near zero volts. The RC.....
Lamp II is a household lamp. When the switch is in the center position, the lamp is operated on half-wave rectified ac; the ef..
The zener provides a constant voltage of 20 V to unijunction transistor Ql, except at the end of each half-cycle of the input when the line voltage drops to zero. Initially, the voltage across capacitor Cl is zero and capacitor C2 cannot charge to trigger Ql. Cl will begin to charge, but because the voltage is low, C2 will be charged to a voltage adequate to trigger Cl only near the end of the half cycle. Although the lamp resistance is low at this time, the voltage.....
This very special mains-operated dimmer for domestic or industrial lights is not available in proprietary form: it ena..
Without a heats ink, Triac Ql handles up to a 400-watt lamp. The neon lamp does not trip the gate until it conducts so the lamp turns on a medium brilliance..
The dimmer circuit in Figure 1 can change the intensity of the light from zero to maximum. The dimmer operates at approximately 12V, unlike the usual ones that function by adjusting the firing angle of the 110 or 220V mains supply. The dimmer works to inject a constant current into the halogen lamp and to regulate that current using pulse-width modulation (PWM) according to a potentiometer-controlled input, or a 0 to 5V signal, or even an analog output from a µC. 12V ac.....
This unique circuit makes your dome light look cool. Usually when the car door is closed, the dome light just goes OFF. With this circuit, you can have our dome light fade slowly in brightness and finally go OFF. This slow dimming of the light gives a very good feeling at night. It looks very romantic!..
With this circuit we can change the brightness of lamb, with a only key of touch. The key of touch is connected in the circuit, center of which is a special completed IC1, which is the S566B of SIEMENS. This IC, it processes the information of duration of touch and then it checks the brilliance of lamb, according to this information. If we touch upon the key for a small period of time (60 until 400 ms), the lamb simply only changes situation, that is to say from OFF in ON.....
