Here is a straightforward and simple circuit that consequently diminishes the vehicle inside lights when the door is closed and gradually glows the light intensity when the door is left open after a preset time span. It forestalls battery complete discharge, light burning out, melting enclosures, and so forth.
The circuit utilizes two ICs one NE555 and the second LM2490CT – 12 IC and a few other components. It may be fixed in the spot of the vehicle interior or doom light. The circuit is likewise an energy saver and uses less battery in contrast with the Fate Doom lamp utilized in vehicles. The circuit can likewise be utilized in any vehicle that utilizes a 12v vehicle battery.

LED Car Doom Light Circuit
Working Explanation
The working of the circuit is basic when the press button S1 is squeezed the 555 timer IC is activated for a preset time frame. When we trigger the IC, the yield goes high because of which the transistor BD139 will get incited and give current to the LM2940CT-12 voltage controller IC. This IC at that point gives a stable 12v to the LEDs.
The preset time of the circuit or LED actuation time can be expanded by expanding the estimation of the 47µF capacitor and balanced by the 1M variable resistor.
Applications and Uses
- It keeps track of car ignition.
- If the car ignition is turned ON, the LED light diminishes as soon as the door shuts.
- It can fit in every car.
- It prevents battery full discharge probabilities, light fusing, and burning out.
