The simulation speed is set to 1ms/s, so in reality, things go 1000 times faster...

Use 47uF or higher. But that still won't turn off "gently".

@LeButch only the capacitor value varies

@PrathikP And where did you come from? You can check the elements of the circuit and the original available in our website

I didn't come from anywhere. Im always here🤣

@PrathikP why did you say this circuit will not work?

I did not say that the ckt won't work. I just said that it won't dim "gently", as you say it would. Set the sim speed to 1s/s and the cap up to 47uF or higher.

When you set the capacitance to 100uF, it dims somewhat gently. Probe the current through the lamp while you are at it. Youll see the steep curve.

@PrathikP I understand that thanks to the information you give, but the simulation is that the normal values are of course what you call it.

@selcukgetmez, the circuit you are showing is basically what is called a soft shutdown for a lamp, normally there is also a soft start aspect designed onto the circuit as well, this circuit is basically designed to extend the life of the light by taking away the instantaneous shock of the power supply switching. Now what the other contributors are trying to tell you is because you have the wrong "time base" dialed up on the clock the components that have been selected, while they appear to be working, they cannot perform as well as they should. A lamp dimming circuit can be better made by using FETs.

@BillyT Thank you for feedback I try to improve myself and re-establish the link if I've seen the link
