Lighting Garden with Solar Energy Circuit Diagram

This is an economic circuit of a mini solar lighting system, solar panel 6V/2W is used to charge a rechargeable 4V/800mAh through a current limiting circuit load that uses a LM317T adjustable regulator 3 pin (IC1). Assuming a sunny day 6 hours, a panel will enviarr 2 watts for approximately 900mAh battery. The current can be reduced by increasing the value of R1, for example, 8.2 to 10 ohms ohms.

LED Workbench Lighting

Here is a very useful workbench lighting unit for electronics hobbyists. The portable inspection lamp circuit consists of an on-board voltage regulator and a high-bright 5mm white LED. Any 9 to 18 volt dc rated ac mains adaptor, capable to source about 100 mA of output current can be used to power this portable inspection lamp.

After construction the led workbench light circuit should be enclosed in a suitable plastic bottle cap as illustrated here. The miniature lens shown is an optional component. In the prototype, plastic made lens lifted from a discarded torch was used!

The adjustable 3-pin voltage regulator IC1 (LM317L) in TO-92 pack, is here tuned to supply an output of near 4.5 volt dc. This supply is directly fed to the white LED (D2) through the current limiter resistor R3 (51 Ohm). Diode D1 (1N4001) works as an input polarity protection guard and two small electrolytic capacitors (C1 and C2) connected at the input and output pins of IC1 improves the overall stability of the regulator circuit. Use a standard RCA or EP socket as the input terminal J1.
