Clap switch circuit or clapper(the commercial version) is a sound activated switch that turns a lamp,light on and off

by clapping your hands or snapping your fingers

The Clapper

The Clapper is a sound-activated electrical switch,sold by San Francisco, California based Joseph Enterprises, Inc. Robert E. Clapper, Sr., and Richard J. Pirong marketed the clapper with the slogan "Clap On! Clap Off! The Clapper!".
The Clapper plugs into a US-type electrical outlet, and allows control of up to two devices plugged into the Clapper.An upgraded model, known as the Clapper Plus, includes a remote control function in addition to the original sound-based activation

This sound activated switch is nearly done after we have assembled all the components it is easy to build,but also is very dangerous because is connected to the mains voltage 120v/220v so be very careful DO NOT TOUCH ANY OF THE WIRES OR COMPONENTS WHILE IN USE.This is not very safe .
pRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

The lamp with the DIY KIT works at night and need Voice trigger it
This is an Electronic DIY KIT , some soldering experience is required

The PCB (Printed Circuit Board) is provided with the DIY KIT and it needs to be soldered

All required electronic parts are provided

The bulb lights only in the dark and with sounds , after a while without voice ,it will light off .

Use a Multimeter or check color to distinguish the Resistor

Specifcations:

Working voltage : 220V

Lamps : 5-60W ( LED Energy -saving Lamps can't be used )

PCB Board Size : 3.2x2.4cm/1.26x0.94inch

Sound activated circuit diagram from this kit but there are lots of faults in this design,i found out that if the mic is bad wich it might happen due to the poor quality of manufacturing the circuit stays on,andif you flash a light in the sensor it goes off so can be used as a night light sensor.

Clap Switch Conclusion

How to make a clap switch circuit at home 220v (Not recommended)

Basically, it is a sound activated switch circuit that has a condenser mic that picks up the sound converted in electronic signal and then is passed to the transistor that switches on the led light,in this case the 220v light for a period of max 1 minut.This is a clap on circuit already designed so we have to just assemble it.A more advanced clap on switch will follow in the next episodes because this one is dangerous and not well made
