PWM Dimming of a Low-Voltage DC Incandescent Filament (Thermal Shock?)
I plan on driving some Numitron tube filaments from an IV-16 tube (datasheet here). For ease of access I'll give the key specs here:
Nominal filament voltage: 3.15V
Max filament voltage (steady-state)...

P channel MOSFET for PWM Peltier control (Arduino)
I want to control the power of a Peltier device using a MOSFET PWM controlled by an Arduino.
In order to "smooth" the power going to the Peltier, I want to add a capacitor in parallel.
The &...

4-pin 12 V PC fan - manual speed control
I've been reading a little about 4-pin PC fans, but haven't been able to find a clear answer.
I understand the PWM pin controls the fan's running speed, so if I wanted to use a 4-pin fan for a non-PC ...

How can I properly use PWM to observe hopefully >= 2x normal efficacy, seeing the theoretical max of 1700 lm/W scotopic efficacy?
In a Wikipedia article on "Scotopic Vision", there is a section that states:
The maximum scotopic efficacy is 1700 lm/W at 507 nm (compared with 683 lm/W at 555 nm for maximum photopic ...
