| This little circuit can be used to dim lights up to about 350 watts. It uses a simple, standard TRIAC circuit that, in my expirience, generates very little heat. Please note that this circuit cannot be used with fluorescent lights. |

| The neon lamp in the circuit above (L2) can be replaced with a diac. When the diac's breakover voltage is exceeded, the triac gets fired. What do you think of this modification? | ||
| this project is very bad | ||
| 1: how can you make this use more channels (16 or so) and 2: what actually controlls the dimming of this and 3:will this work with leds and not have a flickering problem ??? If not how can you make it work with leds so there is no flickering problem as it is dimmed.. | ||
| Why does the circuit have a neon lamp? Can it be replaced, if so, by what? | ||
| can i have circuit to dim DC by dimming AC only? | ||
| How the phase is controlled by triac? | ||
| what value is that supposed to be? .068F? or .068uF?? | ||
| hii, plz message the working of this circuit & how can vary the bright of the lamp (in gate of triac which element varying current , voltage or freequancy of the gate pulse) | ||
| Here is a link to a 220VAC dimmer http://www.electronics-project-design.com/Light-Dimmer-Circuit.html | ||
| sir, do i have to change the type of triac if i intend to use 220VAC supply? | ||
