connect LED to Ac – The direct connection of Led bulb to 230v current. There is no complicated circuit for connecting an led bulbs directly to the AC source. An AC source that having about 230 v and that’s very high voltage supply for working the electric equipment. And led only needs 2-3 v supply to glow.
Overvoltage means above 3 volts that may burn your led. Because of high forwarding current through the Led bulb.
Led bulb direct Ac connection circuit
The components you will require to connect led to Ac supply
- led
- 100k or 82k resistor
- ac plug
- wires
When we connecting the led directly to the AC power source we need to reduce the voltage from 220 or 230v AC to 2 – 3 volt supply with 20ma current.
To reduce the voltage and current you need to use a resistor in the led connection. commonly we need to place a 100k resistor in one leg of the led.
After connecting 100k on one leg of the led then directly connect the wire to the second leg as per the diagram.
Connect the phase on the resistor connected wire and neutral on the other leg of the led bulb.
If you want to get more brightness for the led bulb, then you need to reduce the value of the resistor to 82k ohm.
Caution: very carefully do this circuit and don’t make any short circuit. Properly cover the joints with insulation tape. And don’t touch the circuit when it’s working on the Ac source.
The normal level an led that glows in 3 v battery and the overvoltage is passed through the led may lead to high forward voltage and that may lead to damaging your led. so be careful do these steps of making led circuits on power supplies.
