 Introduction:
In this we are going to show you how to make Music Rhythm
Operated Dancing Light using LEDs & Transistors. You might have
seen the Disco Lights or DJ lights or light during a function that
turn ON and OFF according to the beats or Rhythm of the music.
This Music Rhythm Operated Dancing Light circuit is based on
transistor BC547. This circuit is very simple and easy to build, it
just requires few basic components.
These lights turns ON & OFF according to the length and pitch of
music beats or rhytm. Basically these are designed to pick the
high intensity sound like Bass sound. So these lights follow the
high pitch beats in music like drum beats, and Turn ON and OFF
according to music pattern.

CIRCUIT
 Components Required:
The circuit requires few of the basic components which are listed below
1. Transistors BC547 - 7
2. LED - 7
3. Capacitor - 100nF or O.1uF
4. Resistor 1M -1
5. Resistor 10K – 2
6. Resistor 22 Ω - 6
7. Mic. - 1
8. Switch ON/OFF - 1 9.
9 Volt DC Power Supply
 Condenser Mic
should be connected properlyin the circuit, according
to its polarity. To determine the polarity of MIC one
should look at mic terminals, the terminal which have
threesoldering lines, is the negative terminal.
Transistor BC547
is a NPN transistor, whichis used as a Amplifier here.
NPN transistor acts as a open switch when there is no
voltage applied on its Base (B) and it acts asclosed
switch when these is some voltage base. Generally 0.7
volt is enoughto get it fully conducted
 Working of Music Rhythm Operated
Light Circuit:
In this Simple Music Rhythm Operated Dancing Light, mic.
picks up the sound signals & converts them into voltage signal.
The voltage developed is directly proportional to quantity of
sound falling on the mic. These voltage signals are further fed
into High Pass RC Filter R1 & C1 for eliminating the noise from
the sound. Further a NPN transistor Q1 BC547 works as a
signal amplifier.
Then finally these music signals are given to the array of six
transistors grounded across with 22 Ω resistor. Transistor in
this array works as amplifier, and glows the four LEDs
according to the sound pattern. We can also add more LEDs &
transistor to make it following more longer pattern.
The sensitivity of mic. can be increased
or decreased by changing the value of
R2 & C1. The formulae for calculating
the resonant frequency can be given
as:
F = 1/ (2πRC)
