Simple two-transistor circuit lights LEDs
Barry Tigner @ edn.com has a design idea on how to power a LED from a 1.5V battery using two easily available transistors. A previous Design Idea describes a circuit that uses an astable multivibrator to drive an LED (Reference 1). The circuit in Figure 1 uses a simpler alternative...

Neopixel Night Light using ATtiny85
joshua.brooks @ instructables.com describes how he build a night light using an Adafruit NeoPixel, ATtiny85 microcontroller, TSSP4038 IR receiver and some other easy available components. I'm giving some workshops in electronics in a few weeks, centered around an inexpensive, but...

Accurately simulate an LED
Jon Roman and Donald Schelle have a design idea on how to simulate a high power led to test your driver circuit. Testing the driver circuit using LEDs, although easy, yields only typical results because the tests don’t factor in worst-case LED parameters and often generate...

Smart LED Flashlight
Vitaliy_M @ instructables.com has build a nice little LED flashlight. The flashlight turns on automatic for 60 seconds when it senses that the room is dark enough. To turn on manual light for additional 60 seconds you need to push the RST button. Smart LED Flashlight -...
