13/04/2011 LED driven tail/brake Light Cluster - RED -…
Comments:
This circuit was designed on request to drive a Light-cluster formed by several LEDs that
can be mounted in the vehicle as a tail and brake light.
When SW1 is on, the cluster will illuminate at medium brightness. When brakes are
operated, SW2 will be closed and the cluster will shine at maximum brightness.
These two brightness levels of the cluster are obtained by a constant current source drive
formed by Q1 and Q2. The two constant current levels are set by R2 and R3 values.
