Christmas Lights Using Leds Circuit Diagram

This circuit allows you to build your own LED Christmas lights that turn on automatically at night. It uses a light dependent resistor (LDR) and transistors to sense when it is dark outside and power the LEDs. An IC and other components create an oscillating circuit that causes the LEDs to flash on and off. Adjusting resistor and capacitor values controls the flashing rate. The lights will turn on at night, saving electricity by automatically turning off during the day.

LED Christmas Lights Circuit

Christmas is known as  the carnival of lights and every person decorates its house with multicolored lights
which we normally purchase from the bazaar. Did you ever have a thought of building your own Christmas
lights, which is used to decorate own house or your own house holy place. This very easy circuit will assist
you to develop your own decorative lights.

The plus point of these circuits is that you did not require to take tension regarding the ON and OFF of the
light. In the evening time, lights  automatically become ON while in the morning, it becomes OFF. So it will
save your electricity bill when you go away from your house.

Component Description:

1. LDR – The sensitivity of the LDR based on the intensity of light declining on it. With the increase in
the fall of light intensity LDR resistance decreases and vice versa.
2. LED – It consists of semiconductor material and produces different colors of light as its output.

3. IC CD4093- It is made up of four Schmitt-trigger circuit. Every circuit work as a NAND gate off two
inputs having Schmitt trigger action on both inputs. For positive and negative going signals the gate
switches at different points.

LED Christmas Lights Circuit Description:

This circuit is mainly made up of CD4093 IC. It is actually a Schmitt trigger quad NAND gate having two
input terminals. All LEDs are employed in this circuit with a sensor along with some other components like
transistor, diode and resistors.

IC CD4093 is a Dual lnline Package having 14 pins. Pin 1 can identify with a very tiny notch on the one
face of the IC. It is made up of 4 self–sufficient  NAND gate on a particular chip. Every gate has its own 2
input terminals and one output terminal. 5V to 15V is the voltage working range of these IC.

It comes in a 14 pin Dual Inline Package (DIP). It will carry on an average of 10 MA of current at a voltage
of 12V but it can trim down by reducing the power supply voltage.

Out of 14 pin package pin number 14 and 7 is used  for  connecting battery or power supply. Pin 7 is
attached with the negative terminal while pin 14 is attached to the power supply. As we have already
familiar that it is consist of four gates we named them as  NI1, NI2, NI3 and NI4.In the first gate i.e. NI1 pin
1 and 2 is for the input purpose while pin 3 is for the output. You can find in the circuit diagram shown
below. When all the input terminal is in high state the output moves toward the low state, or else we will
obtain high output. This can be employed in the truth table drawn below.

This whole circuit is parted into two parts first one is for the sensor section and the second one is for the
LED flesher section. The light sensing part of the circuit is constructed using LDR along with two
transistors  namely T1 and T2. During the day time light resistance of LDR is low which in turn make the
transistor T1 into transmission due to this T2 transistor voltage goes to the low state and left over in the cut
off state. That is why during the day time LED attached at the output point will not   shine. While at the time
of night when no light is present LDR, LDR reaches  to high resistance, as a result of it conduction of T1
stops and T2 begins its conduction. Due to its LED attached at the output starts glowing.

At this instant, LED flashing circuit is constructed around CD4093 IC which is functioning in oscillator
mode. With the assistance of resistor R2 and capacitor C1 oscillation part is being created. The fleshing
effect is being generated with the Diode D1 along with the resistor R3 as it causes speedy alteration of the
capacitor C1. So when the charging of the capacitor C1 reaches to the half of the power supply , output
from the pin3 IC1 move lower and the capacitor C1 discharges. From the circuit diagram shown you can
find that pin3 is linked withpin5 as well as pin 6 hence the capacitor C1 again charges. So the above cycle
keeps on going till the time power is supplied in the circuit.

By altering the value of  the resistor R2 as well as capacitor C1, you can enlarge or reduce the rate of the
LED flashing. Suppose you want to enlarge the flashing light then just reduce the value of C2 capacitor and
for reducing the rate just decrease the value of the capacitor. And for maintaining  the sensitivity of the LDR
in the circuit all you need to use a variable resistor.
