The circuit is consists of very few parts, just one resistor , two capacitors, four
diodes and six high bright 1W LEDs. I have constructed circuit without any PCB.
Just twisted components with each other and sold them to make the bulb work.

Step 2: Construct LED Bulb

After your circuit is ready, just sold LEDs over silver 6 LED plate in series, these
plates are available in market easily. After soldering the LEDs to LED Plate (that
uses as heat sink for LEDs). Now connect the terminals with circuit and screw
the box.

That's it , your bulb is ready to light.

Creatives360 (http://www.instructables.com/member/Creatives360/)

what we call 100 R 3w.
is it (100 ohm resistor of 3 watt )
and if 100 ohm resistor of 2 watt connected with
100 ohm resistor of 1 watt is it = 100 ohm resistor of 3 watt
plz explain..
Lucif3r945 (/member/Lucif3r945/)  robinhoodxx 29 days ago Reply

100R 3W is simply a 100ohm 3 watt resistor.
(/member/Lucif3r945/)
Using multiple resistors is a bit tricky.
If you put 2 in series, the resistance will be added together, e.g
100ohm+100ohm=200ohm, 100ohm+300ohm=400ohm etc. The power
dissipation (wattage) will not change.
Now, if you instead put them in parallel, the dissipation will be added,
e.g. 2 3W resistors would become equal to one 6W, BUT! The
resistance will be reduced! e.g. 2x100ohm resistors in parallel will
become 50ohm, 3x100ohm would become ~33ohm etc etc. So since
putting 2x100ohm 3W would be equal to 1x50ohm 6W, you would need
to add another 2 100ohm 3W in series with the parallel ones, bringing
the resistance back to 100ohm while keeping the 6W dissipation.
Unfortunately, I am not good enough to explain mixing different values
in parallel(like, 1x100ohm 2W and 1x50ohm 1W), which complicates
things further(Im sure theres a formula to calculate it somewhere).
So in your case, I would go with 2x200ohm 2W resistors in parallel,
which would equal 1x100ohm 4W resistor. Having a bit of headroom
with the dissipation is nice should there be a powerspike etc.

I guess R1 and C1 give rise to a certain voltage and amperage output, how is
this calculated?

Your resistor is 3W but your current draw is 6W LED, the resistor will burn off
easily. My one already burn off what about your???
(/member/recuat/)

Creatives360 (/member/Creatives360/) (author)   recuat 1 year ago Reply

The bulbs are connected in series, therefore total current is 1W and for
1W current 3W resistor is much sufficient. If you have build the circuit I
(/member/Creatives360/)
have mentioned I guarantee you it will not burn out. I have 6 similar
bulbs in my home and all are working perfectly fine with daily usage of
8 to 12 hours.

ericCycles (/member/ericCycles/)  Creatives360 1 year ago Reply

It's a clever idea I may have to borrow for some led lights in my
greenhouse.
(/member/ericCycles/)

A few thoughts:
1) Capacitance is measured in Farads. Some googling suggests C1 is
5uF based on that 155J label.
2) The heat produced by R1 = the current flow * the voltage across it.
You should be able to measure both with a multimeter if you have one.
That would answer the question of what wattage R1 needed to be.

Creatives360 (/member/Creatives360/) (author)   recuat 1 year ago Reply

I think you haven't constructed same circuit which I have given above,
because selecting the wrong value of capacitor will pass out large
(/member/Creatives360/)
amount of current and in that way may be resister will blow up, but the
circuit I have given above is working fine and even resister wont heat
up.

recuat (/member/recuat/)  Creatives360 1 year ago Reply

I use to open for at least 6 hours at night for 5 day only, then blown off
