DIY Digital Light Dimmer

Here is a DIY Digital Light Dimmer that uses 2 push buttons to adjust the brightness output. Full details can be found here. Thanks “The light level can be adjusted with two push-buttons “Up” and “Down”. Controller in this application is PIC16F84 that drives BUZ11 mosfet. Dimmer is tested with a light bulb 12V/4W and mosftet didn’t get even warm (which was expected since the datasheet says: 50V/30A).”
