White LEDs have a rated current at a voltage drop of about 3.3 to 3.4 V. It is ideal to be powered from the battery voltage which is slightly larger. Then there is the best energy used. In this I used a flashlight battery, Li-ion battery, which lasts the full brightness of the lamp lit for many hours. Circuit for power LEDs is described here , and I will not repeat its description. More interesting is the charger with the MAX1811 circuit. When designing a lamp for my past experiences like charging as simple as possible. No dedicated external charger that was lost just when it needed to charge the flashlight.

You just come on and join lamp standard AB cable to any USB port or cable to temporarily pull out just one unused device. The port is used only to power supply, no software support is not needed. Circuit MAX1811 is designed for charging Li-Ion USB in portable devices. Its great advantage is that, unless the input circuit voltage from the USB port does not consume practically no battery power and may be permanently connected to the battery. This greatly simplifies the connection. Circuit to charge one cell voltage of 4.1 or 4.2 V and a current of approximately 100 or 500 mA. Here is the connecting terminals 1 and 2 on the + selected voltage of 4.2 V and current of 500 mA. The stability of the circuit are required according to the manufacturer's quality capacitors C1 and C2. Datasheet for circuit, see eg http://www.maxim-ic.com/quick_view2.cfm/qv_pk/2536/ln/en . LED10 light when charging, but unfortunately only in the charging constant current phase. Reaches the battery voltage of 4.2 V, the LED goes out, even if the battery is still fully charged. This is unfortunate especially in older batteries, which due to increased internal resistance of the charging voltage reaches the final soon after the start of charging. Otherwise I do not have any reservations about charging circuit.
The lamp I used protective circuit of the battery to the mobile phone. Protection circuit disconnects the battery at high voltage drops (it...
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
