555 inverter brightness and over current issue

probably smaller core getting saturated , i will adapt to PNP NPN  design

How about TL494?

That design is very inefficient due to the huge losses with the 555 driving emitter followers.

If you use the original design posted at the start of the thread, with a centre tapped transforer two MOSFETs, the core is less likely to be saturated, since it will be alternately magnetised with opposite polarities, thus be used more efficiently.

If you need a smaller solution forget the bulky, inefficient inverter. Use a 12V LED and a small, lightweight, efficient boost converter.

yes the core saturation was the issue
 --its resloved! ---
 8) 8) 8)
-- used Centertapped transformer and dual mosfets
-- Achieved good brightness at  230mA
 so 2200mAH pack will last 8-10hour
 with 2S4P we can get 20hour backup , which is huge


developed an ECO mode , slight less brightness at 155mA
on 2200mA ECO mode can pull till 12Long hours

All this with palm sized inverter.
test shown a 500mA transformer  can take  two 7Wbulbs ( lower brightness )
but this centertap is very good for one 7W

dave_j_fan:
Will the LOGIC mosfets give even better brightness ?

AC was approx 185V and the  bulbs for 220V do very well now
