interactive Lamp need some help for finding the perfect sensors!

Using Arduino Sensors
1

Hello everyone,

For some time I'm working on a lamp project that gives me a hard time. The basic idea is extremely simple and you can see it in action on my site: Chesnel.ca | Design multidisciplinaire | Technologie & Bois | Lampe Osci n°1
Currently I use the following sensors:PD5005
It's a tilt switch without mercury. My concern is that it is made with a TRIAC and this does not work very well with LED bulbs. (flickering)

Here are the sensors that I tested for the moment:

  • PD5005 Tilt switch: does not work in europe and does not work with all LED bulbs
  • Reed Switch with magnet: The passage of the high voltage weld the lamellae and destroys the sensor.

The next sensor that I want to test is this one:

My constraints are as follows:

  • The sensors must be as small as possible
  • Works on 120 or 220 Volt (for use in America and Europe)

I am really not an expert in electricity and I try at best to find the right solution. I hope I will be able to have some tips to help me move forward in my project

thank you!

I think you want LED bulbs designed for "dimming" circuits.

unfortunately even with dimmable bulbs it does not always work.
