Introduction
An LED lamp or LED light bulb is an electric light for use in light fixtures that produces light
using one or more light-emitting diodes (LEDs). LED lamps have a lifespan many times longer
than equivalent incandescent lamps, and are significantly more efficient than most fluorescent
lamps, with some LED chips able to emit up to 303 lumens per watt (as claimed by Cree and
some other LED manufacturers). However, LED lamps require an electronic LED driver circuit
when operated from mains power lines, and losses from this circuit mean the efficiency of the
lamp is lower than the efficiency of the LED chips it uses. The most efficient commercially
available LED lamps have efficiencies of 200 lumens per watt (Lm/W).
Similar to incandescent lamps (and unlike most fluorescent lamps), LEDs come to full brightness
immediately with no warm-up delay. Frequent switching on and off does not reduce life
expectancy as with fluorescent lighting. Light output decreases gradually over the lifetime of the
LED.
Some LED lamps are made to be a directly compatible drop-in replacement for incandescent or
fluorescent lamps. LED lamp packaging may show the light output in lumens, the power
consumption in watts, the colour temperature in Kelvin or a colour description such as "warm
white", "cool white" or "daylight", the operating temperature range, and sometimes the
equivalent wattage of an incandescent lamp delivering the same output in lumens.
Project Description
The circuit operates from the 5 Volt available from the USB port. The 5V from the USB port is passed
through current limiting resistor R2 and transistor Q1. The base of transistor Q1 is grounded via R1 which
provides a constant bias voltage for Q1 together with D2. The diode D1 prevents the reverse flow of
current from battery. C1 is used as a noise filter. Two white LED’s are used here for the lamp; you can
also use a 2 V torch bulb instead of LED’s. LED D3 indicates connection with USB port.

Notes
USB port is only able to provide up to 100 mA current. So don’t overload the circuit with more
no of LED’s.
Before wiring the circuits confirm the positive and ground leads of USB by a multimeter.
