This automatic light dimmer circuit makes it possible to control a lighting system so that it turns on or off slowly. The circuit works this way: when switch S1 is closed, the capacitor C1 is slowly ...

12 Volts light dimmer circuit diagram The output of IC1b (pin 9) drives the gate of MOSFET T1. When the duration of the pulses at the gate increases, the average time that the MOSFET is in conduction ...

Whether for a single-pole or 3-way circuit, a dimmer efficiently controls electricity usage, allowing you to adjust the brightness of your light as needed rather than keeping it at full intensity.

For about $60 you can add a second light switch without wiring and for about $100 you can make this a smart home upgrade. One reason I love the Lutron Caséta light switches is that with one $55 ...

Wiring connections: Smart switches and dimmers tend to be larger than their dumb counterparts, so you should consider how the new switch will fit in your existing electrical box.

Eve recommends that only electricians install the Eve Dimmer Switch because knowledge of electrical wiring is required. The switch needs a neutral wire and can replace a single-pole or 3-way switch.

As with the existing Caséta smart dimmer, the new Diva smart dimmer won’t need a neutral wire. (Though the Claro switch will.) The switches are available today, September 12th, at The Home Depot.

A budget smart light switch is a convenient way to take a roomful of lights on the same circuit and give them the gift of smarts. The Kasa Smart Light Switch is a solid tool to achieve this goal ...
