i need DC led light dimmer. i have to do dimmer led light which is of near about 10 watt of 10 volt.
so bit confused how to do??

A few posts up, " 30 μs LED pulse", both NPN & N-ch MOSFET were used to drive a 1W LED & 1 A. Both worked, I preferr the MOSFET.

Me too. Fast switching of power to an LED is a perfect application for a MOSFET. The only drawback is the higher gate voltage needed, compared to a BJT. But the lower base current and lower "on" resistance are big advantages for MOSFETs.
