What is your power source, AC, DC, voltage? Do you want the drive to dissipate less power than the LEDs themselves? Do you want protection for the circuit when the LEDs are disconnected?
My source is 230v AC. And I am electrical student. I want to make 20w led bulb or lamp. And i am using min 3v or max 3.6 v , 20mA to 25 mA white LEDs. But I have no any idea how to built transformer less 20 w led bulb circuit . so please suggest me circuit.. And please tell how to calculate value of R1, C1, R1, R2... Please help me sir....Thank you...
The discussion focuses on designing LED lamp circuits for 15W, 20W, and 28W power ratings, specifically transformerless designs powered from 230V AC mains. The user seeks a simple, low-component-count circuit to drive white LEDs rated around 3V to 3.6V and 20-25mA current. Key considerations include the power source type, LED drive current, and circuit protection when LEDs are disconnected. It is suggested that a transformer or driver circuit is typically required for stable operation. A datasheet from Linear Technology (http://cds.linear.com/docs/en/datasheet/37991f.pdf) is referenced, which includes a schematic for a 25W LED driver. Additional resources for mains-operated LED circuits and USB-powered LED lamp circuits are recommended for design guidance. Calculations for resistor and capacitor values (R1, R2, C1) are requested but not explicitly provided. Summary generated by the language model.
