LED Mood Lamp
Abstract:
This paper describes the high power led mood lamp which is used to produce different colors. Different colors are produced using Pulse width modulation. Varying the pulse width, one can produce millions of color combinations using only the three basic colors – Red, Green, Blue.
Technical aspects:
The high power led mood light is based on P89V51RD2 and the ability of this MCU to produce PWM pulses. Varying pulse width we can produce millions of color combinations using only the three basic colors. So only one RGB (Red-Green-Blue) led is capable producing a rainbow of fading colors.
Any remote controller which makes use of RC5 protocol is used to handle all the functions of the lamp. We can choose fading or jumping between colors, we can select a rainbow style or a random color changing behavior, we can choose slow or fast changing of colors and we can pause on a desired color.
