The basic principle behind the 230v led driver circuit is transformer less power supply.
Led driver circuit diagram.
These capacitors are connected line to line and are designed for high voltage ac circuits.

The t2 transistor can be bc547 if you use only usual leds the 20ma versions but it is recommended to use bd135 bd137 or bd139 because they have a higher power dissipation.
The circuit must provide sufficient current to light the led at the required brightness but must limit the current to prevent damaging the led.
The requirements of a lighting application often dictate what type of circuit can be used but if given the choice the most efficient way to run high power leds is using a series circuit with a constant current led driver.
The main component is the x rated ac capacitor which can reduce the supply current to a suitable amount.
In this circuit we will try to connect three 5mm white leds in parallel and light them up using a 12v supply.
In electronics an led circuit or led driver is an electrical circuit used to power a light emitting diode led.
Bipolar junction transistors need base current and sufficient positive voltage to the collector in order to provide amplification.
This dimmable led driver is designed to power a 60 v led voltage string at 125 ma output current from an input voltage of 90 v ac to 300 v ac.
The schematic of the led driver circuit we will build is shown below.
When the switch of the circuit is open no current flows to the base of the transistor.
Vf 3 4v forward current.
Parts this project shows several circuits for driving power led s.
To learn more about assembly techniques and to find out led part.
1watt leds have ratings of forward voltage 3 2v 3 6v and forward current 300ma.
This circuit allows you to use any voltage between 2v and 24v to drive almost any type of led with power consumption up to 5w.
Part list and circuit diagram.
While the ratings of a 3 watt led are forward voltage.
Therefore the transistor cannot turn on.
Running a series circuit helps to provide the same amount of current to each led.
In market we can get 1watt and 3watt led easily.
So i m showing you the simplest high power led driver.
