LED Flasher Indicates Low Battery Condition - 01/02/97 EDN-Design Ideas Many portable electronic devices could benefit from a visual indication when their battery requires replacement. Typical low-battery indicators simply turn on an LED when the battery voltage drops below a certain value. Such circuits actually accelerate the battery's extinction by drawing excessive current. The circuit in Figure 1 draws a mere 1 m A in its standby mode and averages only 20 m A when activated. The low current imposes a minimal burden on any battery circuit. An off-the-shelf, undervoltage sensor IC(IC1) monitors the battery voltage-- Design by David Johnson, DiscoverCircuits.com
LED Flasher needs only 1.5 VOLTS - To squeeze even more energy from a alkaline battery cell, this circuit adds two transistors to a circuit similar to the above design to boost the efficiency.

LED flasher using NE555 timer IC - This circuit has a lot going for it. For one thing, it only consists of two transistors, two capacitors and four resistors. That also means it consumes very little power. You can control the flash rate by changing the size of the 100k resistors (100k makes for a pretty slow rate). You can also control the duty cycle by using resistors of different values on the two sides __ Designed by Colin Pringle

LED Modulations (2 versions) - Common Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) require a DC forward bias current of 10 to 20 mA for proper operation. Typically the maximum DC current is 30 to 50 mA. The color of light (or wavelength λ) emitted from an LED depends on the semiconductor material used to fabricate the LED and this in turn determines the LED forward voltage at the operating current. __ Designed by M. Gallant
LED Musicolour: Light Up Your Music, Pt.1 - Now you can have a kaleidoscope of colour which continually changes in time to music. This consists of 16 strings of LEDs which are individually controlled by 16 frequency bands. Louder signals in each of those bands means that the respective LED string will be brighter.
