Hi Guys
I am working on a small project where I need to Drive LED ON when the input voltage is between 23V and 25V. Turn OFF LED when the input voltage is <23V and >25V.
Do you guys have any suggestions? Apologies if the question has already raised elsewhere.
TIA

Yes, a window comparator should work for you.
You can use a LM339 or LM393 comparator (2 comparators in the package used), with a TL431 voltage reference for the levels.
Below is the LTspice simulation of an example circuit:
The LED D1 (blue trace) is on between 23V and 25V input (yellow trace).
How close to those values does the actual trip point need to be?
