    This document describes the design and construction of a light dimmer circuit using a DIAC and TRIAC. The circuit allows users to vary the brightness of a light bulb without replacing it by controlling the firing angle of the TRIAC using a DIAC. The circuit was built using common components like resistors, capacitors, a TRIAC, DIAC, and a light bulb. Testing showed that by adjusting a potentiometer, the brightness of the light bulb could be smoothly dimmed from full brightness to fully off.

    THE LIGHT DIMMER

    CIRCUIT
    PREPARED BY:

    BERNARDO, RENZ MATHEW


    ILUSTRE, PAOLO BENIGNO
    PASAHOL, SHERRIE ANN
    Our Agenda
    01 Light Dimmer Circuit
    To construct a light dimmer circuit using DIAC and TRIAC

    02 DIAC and TRIAC Operation


    To demonstrate the operation of DIAC and TRIAC in the circuit

    03 TRIAC TRIGGERING
    To trigger the gate of the triac using diac (bi-directional device)

    04 Firing Angle Variation


    To vary the firing angle using the gate control and
    simultaneously the brightness of the lamp.
    The Problem
    The light sources such as tube light or bulbs blink according to their particular watt rating.
    If you need more light, then you have to use high watt bulb and if you need low light, then
    you have to replace it with low watt rating bulb. This process of bulb replacing is so time
    consuming, costly, and impractical.
    Our Solution
    Light Dimmer Circuit

    01  Can control the brightness of the light


    bulb without manually replacing it

    INSERT THE LIGHT DIMMER  Easy to design
