Which controls the speed of charging of C1. The lightness of lamp-L1 is adjusted by VR1.

Sure, it is better.ĪC light dimmer circuit using TRIAC and DIAC ( update from the Previous circuit) This circuit use more components than the above circuit. # 5: AC Light Dimmer Circuit Using TRIAC and DIAC This circuit can work in under 100 watts load. It has high voltage electricity flows through. It switches AC voltage or trigger to a gate of the TRIAC.Īdjust VR1 to dims the brightness of the lamp.Ĭaution! this circuit must be in an electricity insulation box that closes all the time. The DIAC(Diode AC bi-directional switch) is a kind of diode. It should be held with a large heat sink. This is a simple AC TRIAC dimmer circuit. See below # 4: AC 100W Lights TRIAC Dimmer circuit Important! Do not touch the circuit directly. Because we can use low power Triac and basic circuits. In this circuit, we used only an incandescent light bulb, AC220V 50Hz at 5 watts. Then, the lamp does not work or low brightness. The most current flows through it to grounds. Suppose that, Low light so there is the voltage across the LDR a lot. To control the Triac and the brightness of the lamp next. It is so very convenient because we use the LDR to detect external light. You do not need to dim the lights by yourself. This is an automatic light dimmer circuit. Is it good? Do not worry, it is easy with a few components.

Imagine the light in the room gradually increasing as it begins to become the night. How do we do it? # 3: Automatic Light Dimmer Circuit If the output short circuit, the C1 capacitor is damaged immediately. And higher voltage than 400V.ĭo not use the electrolyte capacitor in this circuit. We may use several capacitors, to select the different capacity.Ĭ1 should be a polyester capacitor or metalized polypropylene capacitors. The value of capacitor-C1 depends on the size and power of the lamp, required brightness.

S2 chooses an output power, full or less. We use a capacitor in series with a lamp. Turn on S1 to ON and Select S2 to dimmer mode. In the below circuit, we use the dimmer circuit with the AC power line.

Next, this is a very simplest AC light dimmer circuit, easy and inexpensive. I hope this circuit will be ideas for friends. We may apply other level voltage of power supply, like AC12V.

Which the working rate of the TRIAC can be controlled by potentiometer-VR1. The UJT-Q1, D1, VR1, C1, R1, R2 will generate frequency to actives the TRIAC. Second, high safety, because of Low AC Voltage. While friends may not see the benefits of this circuit.įirst step# We will learn the working of TRIAC. This is a low voltage AC dimmer circuit, for lamp 6V. Modify AC Dimmer to the automatic lighting 1# Low volts AC Dimmer for 6.3V Lamp
