Bicycle Headlight Circuit

Working Explanation

The circuit is fabricated by utilizing a 6V/3W bike dynamo, four Schottky diodes, and a 3W white LED. The working of the circuit is basic; the bike dynamo is an electrical device that produces AC current when its top ridged knob is rotated. This alternating current is then rectified with the four 1N5822 Schottky diodes and converted into a DC current to control the 6V 3W LED.

To achieve the best outcomes, fit the LED in a suitable light reflector, you can likewise utilize a scrap torch and cut its battery and just utilize the bulb side.

Applications and Uses

This circuit is used to make Bicycle headlights from which you can see and be seen on the road on your bicycle at night.
