| Ok, a little more investigation reveals more to learn. Happy | |
| didn't wire it wrong, just different from our most recent | |
| version. I have wired the LJL type lamps many different ways. | |
| I started with a reverse bias of the transistor a long time ago. | |
| It appears the coil may need a turns adjustment. I pulled off 6 | |
| turns secondary and added six turns primary. I am getting the | |
| amp draw to calm down. The wire happy used is a red enamel wire | |
| 20 awg. I am starting to think the capacitance of different | |
| magnet wire plays a role. These circuits are sort of an LC tank | |
| circuit. Induction/Capacitance and the current can bounce back | |
| and forth. | |
| Anyway, I think this is a case where everyone is right and we | |
| are learning a lot. SUT, you maybe experiencing something | |
| similar. The turns ratio may be quite different from what we | |
| use with Essex magnet wire. Add primary turns until you get a | |
| good amp draw. I am shooting for .500ma for the 6 watt Ecosmart | |
| bulb. | |

| sorry i did...it was so confusing , i am sorry... i was just | |
| running of the schematic correction.. i know by heart howi wired | |
| it an stillhave a circuit wired the same way.. just small | |
| wire...i have a multimeter that has DC/MA INNOVA 3320 | |

| I have no idea what the final turns ratio is on Happy's coil. I | |
| added primary turns until I achieved 6 watts with one bulb. My | |
| guess is I added ten turns primary and took ten turns secondary | |
| off. | |
| Amp reading with one 6 watt bulb is .500ma, with two its 6.25 | |
| and 7.2 with three bulbs. | |

| 24 primary 90 secondary is subtracting what you added an | |
| removed....it is off brand new 1/2 pound spool 22mag wire from | |
| Philmore | |
| bought at westland electronics... | |
| sorry for fading out...gentlemen..! | |
| i will be up till all hours now recharged battery :o | |

| lynx an all, | |
| i apologize for deleting the process but i detailed every step | |
| in documentation step by step | |
| i will be replacing pictures of the circuit i built under lynx | |
| youtube old video... an described the old circuit and how i | |
| wired in detail as the circuit progressed as to make it less | |
| confusing > i believe an took very good detailed notes an this | |
| is the journey in detail... an this is running 4 eco-smart off | |
| 12v battery very bright! an will run one or 2 of 9v or less | |
| this circuit dose run cooler on smaller wire than thicker 20 | |
| awg and 22 awg of which i also built with different winding | |
| turns but wired same way,all get hot an draw to much current | |
| heating up every thing an burning transistor an bulb after a | |
| while running except the one with tv smaller wire it is warmer | |
| but steadily gets got also... watch it close asto not over heat | |
| parts used in this circuit | |
| 1. npn 2n3055 type radio shack transistor | |
| 2. used 26 awg red colored wire radio shack wire new ......14 | |
| turns primary (primary left side is positive an base left side) | |
| 3. secondary is stiff 28 awg copper colored tv yoke wire | |
| standard wire winding on yoke, mexico...100 turns secondary (to | |
| right side of winding it had primary collector an secondary high | |
| voltage out on the right side). | |
| (A: wound coil primary 14 turns pos + primary to the battery | |
| lead to battery) left side coil marked as in youtube video | |
| (B. base from secondary to the transistor connected) left side | |
| of winding same direction for both primary an secondary over top | |
| both coils together | |
| (c. right side was collector wire twisted to {extension cord/ | |
| to bulb} ...to collector on transistor , paired to chassis, with | |
| bolt an nut) | |
| (d. high voltage out twisted to high voltage {extension cord | |
| twisted pair/to bulb} right side of secondary winding | |
| lynx has my all new wire /22 magnet wire... labeled was 14 | |
| primary and 100 secondary... an he rewired to new drawings an | |
| schematics says it pulls to much mil/amp voltage (he was | |
| removing wire turns from 100 secondary winding to make it now 90 | |
| turns winding...then add 10 turns from secondary to primary | |
| winding for a total of 34 turns primary) to get a reduction in | |
| mil/amps .500 i believe was the goal 34 primary an 90 secondary | |
| wit 22 magnet wire. | |
| i have other original all new wire 20 mag winding it is 14 | |
| primary 109 secondary i removed 6 turns from secondary an diode | |
| i also removed bridge 1 amp diode on all 3 circuits per request | |
| from lynx, but they did work with the 1 amp bridge diode base | |
| to emitter pos side of diode to base side still heated up but on | |
| low voltage battery 11- 12 volts it ran for 6 hours that was my | |
| 22 magnet wire coil LJL SC | |
| i redid heat sink made smaller also removed it per request..but | |
| then made small as i thought more would distribute more heat> an | |
| reduce it.. | |
| this is an exact an detailed step by step analysis an | |
| process..in building an modifications to this happy/lynx | |
| /crazyguy/followers LJL SC circuit | |
| i dream about this circuit now..my goal is maximum amount of | |
| led lights 4-60 or better an max brightness for as little | |
| voltage draw tied into my solar grid with out burning | |
| transistor or bulbs.. | |
| thank to all lynx crazyguy for your sharing an knowledge! | |

| hear! | |

| i followed this video to build my LJL sc very well made | |

| thanks lynx very clear now...an you to crazuguy you made me | |
| think! | |
| this is the new way you wired mine today which is your current | |
| version | |
| this is the 20 awg wire coil, i have my original , 14 primary an | |
| (103 secondary / was 109) | |
| collector an high voltage twisted to collector chassis | |
| base to bulb | |
| base to base/bulb | |
| positive to battery | |
| emitter - to battery | |
| whala.... bravo.... new up to date current circuit wiring for | |
| the LJL SC on 9v so simple i don't know how to calculate MA | |
| draw with meter yet.... but i hooked this up in minutes | |
| now which is right? this or the reversed bias method....i did | |
| from your old you tube video ...would resistors restrict current | |
| voltage? they both work.. just need to reduce heat... very | |
| bright light larger resistor? after all it is solar an wind | |
| power stored in battery bank...got my wheels turning now again | |
| i'm so sorry for all the confusion an me going to sleep on | |
| you... | |
| thank you very much i learned so much.... | |
| god bless you all! | |

| warning danger!....... lynx is right! | |
| this heavy wire winding... is to much for the transistor... i | |
| just ran 3 led 6 watt an the where very bright on 12v.... | |
| transistor got hot very quick..with in minutes...more | |
| experimenting is needed to cut the voltage and spike...reduce | |
| coil winding in half ? but that is what i'm looking for more | |
| light very bright less voltage an heat i wonder if more watt | |
| bulbs i ran a ge 13 watt cfl maybe this circuit will drive more | |
| watt..but i think that would curtail more battery drain less is | |
| best in this scenario ... | |
| larger transistor? definite heat sink... resistor, capacitor? | |
| rheostat .. | |

| I just made up a 70 turn 30 awg /11 turn 26 awg coil. .552 ma | |
| for two bulbs aircore no heat. Ferrite added, 352 ma for two | |
| bulbs, no heat, no squeal. | |
| One thing I think we can agree on is that the most recent wiring | |
| diagram is very good for this particular LJL-sc type coil. I | |
| think 30 awg is probably best for secondary because it takes up | |
| so little room and the primary should be rated for what the | |
| transistor can handle which is 6 amps. Now the only question I | |
| have is what is the optimal diameter? Does it matter? | |
| Does the diode added in front of the base help in all cases, or | |
| just with certain bulbs? | |
