Hi,
I'm building a ligth system for a video camera. Basically its 36 diodes aranged in a circle and placed over the lens. I can manage that part alright but I am having a problem building the regulator switch. The LED's draw about 1A and the voltage is set btween 3 and 4. What I want to do is be able to dim the LED's as and when I need to. I've built a circuit using a power fransistor on the recommendation of a friend. But can't seem to get it working. Some one else has mentioned a ' power Mosfet' as a voltage controlled resistor. Would this work? And if so which mosfet? I'm realy quite in the dark here, forgive the pun, and would appreciate any imfo and technical help you have. Thanks.
Paul
