Hello Everyone!

I have absolutely no experience in this, and had no idea where to begin; Google hasnt really made things clear(er).

I am looking for a readymade module (or, if not, designs, or ideas to make one) that would soft start an existing LED lamp. I'm talking about controlling an LED bulb, the kind that directly plugs into the mains (240v in my case).

Ideally, the soft-start should ramp up the lamp to full in about 5 seconds or so after switch on, although the ramp-up time isnt critical.

Does such a beast exist? Or doable??

Hoping the huge pool of talent on this forum would have some pointers!

Best Regards,

ard
 

yes, it is possible to make this circuit, but you should mention the the power rating of your lamp in the first place, so that the desired topology can be chosen .
