Hi all,
My plan is to add some dimming to my 2835 led strip.
The strip is powered from 240v(ish)ac into GBU810, off memory putting out 220v(ish)dc.
I really like the idea of making my own dimmer and would like to know if its okay to use a 555 timer pwm as a base schenatic and simply change the components for higher rated equivalents.
1. Is this even possible/ the safest and most practical path?
If yes,
How/where can i easily find a higher rated benchmark equivalent? (a 555 timer that is higher rated than 15v, etc
If no,
Can you please point me in a good direction

On a side note, I'm an electrician and can safely practice with higher current.
Thanks,
Choke
