HIGH INTENSITY LINE POWERED LED FLASHER (Dec 8, 2008)

Published:2012/9/4 20:48:00 Author:Ecco | Keyword: HIGH INTENSITY , LINE POWERED, LED FLASHER

There are times when you would like to generate an intensely bright flash of light using electrical power from the AC line. The circuit below can drive a one to three watt power LED with about 350ma of peak current. Since the circuit drives the LED with a constant current, any LED color can be used. I have also shown how you could use an array of 7 LEDs, wired in parallel. This array may not produce as much light as the single power LED but the array would be cheaper to build.
