Verify the enclosed LED dimmer circuit using Triac BT136 and MOC3021 circuit

chintan

  I am Chintan Gopani. We have designed the Dimmer circuit using Triac BT136 and MOC3021 and Zero crossing detection circuit and other peripheral devices. Our application is to dim the standard dimmable LED lights fixtures in the USA. 
  Our application is based on the USA market. I attached the design file for the review.
  I request you that please schedule the call with a technical person for the design improvement.

    Yes i tried, but it is flickering during the dimming LED light while i used LED light. So, please give me the appropriate solution for the same.

    If you were to show us your simulation data it might be possible to help. What simulation tool did you use ?

    We have not done the simulation we have making the our circuit on General Purpose Board (GPB) and done the testing with LED light

    This isn't quite what I had in mind.

    Do you have an ocilloscope ?

    You will need to take precautions re. isolation of mains AC voltages to do any measuring here.

    If you do not understand why this is necessary or do not know how to safely measure mains powered equipment then you will need to find someone to do the work for you.

    It will not be possible to debug this design without checking waveforms with a scope.

    Is this a commercial project (ie are you designing something which you wish to amkes and sell) ?
