We often hear criticisms about premature burnout of the bulbs. And although they are mostly fair, I’m a pessimist to join not going. Because the solution of this technical problem can be found even in a home workshop.
THE LAMP WILL HELP BRIDGE

BRIGHTNESS — THE CHOICE
For lighting your desktop in many the approach is simple: that would screw me a light bulb more powerful. As a result, the “no cause” blurred vision, development of visual fatigue, drop in performance, the emergence of signs of sitophobia (photophobia). And it never occurred to us malaekahana that to create the proper lighting comfort long-established mass production of various lamps with adjustable brightness, among which the worthy place is occupied, in particular, sconces and floor lamps with built in dimmer switches.
SO IT WILL BE SAFER
In the video monitor МС6105 it makes sense to replace the output transformer of lines TCDS-8 to a strong — TVs-90П4 with the use of voltage multiplier. Despite the absolute similarity of mounting and Pinout DDS-8 and FA-90П4, it is not necessary to solder the last one right in the destined socket on the Board. It is necessary to consolidate it at a distance of 3-4 mm from the Board from the installation details (via additional threaded Bush M2,5 with a length of 10 mm). The rest of the installation to run individual conductors (see Fig.).
LAMP “BOOK”
Sitting down at the table to work, you take from the shelf a thick book and open it. But what is it? She turns into… a small lamp! It turns out that the book cover hides a cartridge with a bulb, cord with switch and soft shade-accordion. Quite a bit to push the doors cover – the original and the miniature lamp is steadily on the foot, giving a smooth local light to the workplace. Hungarian journal “Earmaster” advises to acquire such a lamp it is compact and easy to use: did some work and removed a book series.
LONGEVITY WILL BE THE LAMP
Or night duty (with reduced brightness) lighting, allowing at the same time significantly increase the lamp life, can be implemented in different ways. Among the simple and reliable method using a quenching capacitor in power supply circuit (Fig. 1). The capacitance C1 is calculated as reactance to obtain the desired lamp voltage ЕL1. Resistor R1 is necessary for capacitor discharge after disconnecting the circuitry from the network. Its value is in the range of 100-500 ohms.
LIKE THE PHONE
When connecting such a power source as an ordinary galvanic battery for flashlight, not so easy to achieve a reliable attachment of wires to flat pin made of thin sheet metal. Moreover, this procedure will have to be repeated when replacing a spent power cell. To simplify the operation and improve the contact will be Read more…
THE LAMP WILL SERVE LONGER
It is no secret that the halogen lamps used in cars, often fail. This is the result of inrush current, which inevitably occurs every time when enabled, when the spiral filament is still in the cold (cold) state.
THE MOTOR IN THE ROLE OF TESTER
Among the devices that are used to check (continuity) of electrical circuits, not take samples. They are simple in design and application. The probe is an indicator, in series with which is connected, as a rule, galvanic cell (battery), current-limiting resistance and two testers. Touching the probes on different portions of the circuit, checks the condition of all its parts and proper connections.
A SIMPLE “UNIVERSAL”
“Almost five years are a reader and subscriber of the journal “modelist-Konstruktor”. During this time, produced in any published developments in several homemade “for home, for family.” Would like to start welding-charging-starting device, a circuit diagram and description of which I had noticed in one of the rooms of the journal for this year, but deterred by the winding operation in the manufacture of powerful transformer, choke. And the installation of electronic control unit thyristors, I’m afraid not master. Whether it is at least a little to simplify the development of that interest me?”
WITH THE EFFECT OF “DISTORTION”
Amplifiers loved by many musical instrument — the electric guitar created a lot. Including the so-called effect of “distortion”, the essence of which is to limit the primary sine wave top and bottom, resulting in a large number of odd and even harmonics that give the sound of the solo guitar special melodiousness. About the original circuit solutions, allowing you to create in a home workshop good-quality amplifiers with the effect of “distortion”, repeatedly reported by its readers and “modelist-Konstruktor” (see, for example, No. 8’80, 2nd’88 magazine).
