Dark activated 230V Lamp
![]()
This device allows one or more lamps to illuminate at sunset and turn off at dawn.
Q1 and Q2 form a trigger device for the SCR, providing short pulses at 100Hz frequency. Pulse duration is set by R2 and C1.When the light hits R1, the photo resistor assumes a very low resistance value, almost shorting C1 and preventing schema operation. When R1 is in the dark, its resistance value becomes very high thus enabling schema operation.
Parts:
R1_____________Photo resistor (any type)
R2____________100K 1W Resistor
R3____________200K 1/2W Trimmer Cermet
R4,R7_________470R 1/4W Resistors
R5_____________12K 1/4W Resistor
R6______________1K 1/4W Resistor
C1_____________10nF 63V Polyester Capacitor
D1_________TIC106D 400V 5A SCR
D2-D5_______1N4007 1000V 1A Diodes
Q1___________BC327 45V 800mA PNP Transistor
Q2___________BC337 45V 800mA NPN Transistor
SK1__________Female Mains socket
PL1__________Male Mains plug & cable
Notes:
* R3 allows fine setting of operating threshold and R2 value can be raised to 150K maximum.
* Several lamps wired in parallel can be connected to the schema, provided total power dissipation of the load does not exceed about 300 - 500W.
* PL1 can be omitted and the input mains supply wires connected in parallel to any switch controlling lamps. In this case, if the switch is left open, the schema will be able to drive the lamps; if the switch is closed, the lamps will illuminate and the schema will be by-passed.
* Warning! The schema is connected to 230Vac mains, then some parts in the schema board are subjected to lethal potential!. Avoid touching the schema when plugged and enclose it in a plastic box.
