The Ambience Lamp

The ambiance lamp has been exclusively crafted to release stress, strain, and depression resulting from our mechanical lifestyle. There are two major blocks of the ambiance lamp Aroma and Light. Aroma fumes are released into the ambient air that relaxes and calms down our central nervous system smoothly. The second block is three natural colors Red, Green, Blue blinking lights attract your attention and distract you from the hustle and bustle of life.

• Clay Lamp Pot

• Aroma Oil

• Spoon

• Clay Beacon

• Candle

• BC547 Transistor

• 3mm LDR

• 50K Potentiometer

• 3-pieces of self blinking LEDs 5RGBVC

• USB Cable

• Zero PCB

• Power Bank

The concept is to diffuse aroma oil naturally with the heat of the candle. There are many diffusers available in the market that is driven by electricity that's is not the natural way, it rather burns the oil and alters its natural properties. The second one is to make use of blinking lights those turn on in dark automatically and turn off when there is light in the room. You don't have to turn on or off the blinking lights this happens automatically by adding some electronics.

• Clay Lamp
• Clay Beacon
• Button Candle
• Spoon
• Aroma Oil

In this part, we will fix our spoon, place the clay beacon on it, and place the candle under it. There is not much explanation required I marked directions in the picture and a picture speaks a thousand words! When you are done with this part move, ahead we are going to make it electrifying adding some electronics.

This circuit uses LDR, Light Dependent Sensor, to detect lightness and darkness and relatively turns off the LEDs. When there is light resistance of the LDR is low and the transistor BC547 stays in off condition consequently the three LEDs, when there is dark its resistance increases in the megaohm range that develops enough voltage to turn on the transistor BC547 and LEDs.

It's time for some hard work. Get you zero PCB also called general-purpose PCB and solder all the components as shown in the circuit diagram. Kindly note the following things while assembling electronics components on the PCB.

Don't cut the legs of the LDR installed it on the corner where light can easily fall on it. Draw three long wires for LEDs from the collector of the transistor BC547 And the fourth one supplies +5V wire pull out it from the PCB. See, the above images of my assembled PCB. Once you are done place them in a plastic box.

Please see the images above depicting work direction.

Sensitivity Adjuster: LDR, a light-dependent resistor, as the name suggests its resistance decreases as the light intensity increases. So, we have to adjust the sensitivity by rotating the know such that LED lights stay turn off when there is light in the room and turn on when there is darkness in the room. You can change the sensitivity at any time like when you have shifted the Ambiance Lamp to another room where light and darkness are in different proportions as compared to the previous.

Here we will fix our electronics into and on our clay lamp. Connect LED's cathode to the 3 wires coming from the box and anode, bigger lead in size is the anode, to the fourth wire +5V. Now fix them in 3 different places with the help of silicon glue as I have connected bending the LEDs so that lights fall inside the lamp. Fix the box on the backside so that LDR can see easily dark and light. And finally the power supply wire to the power bank for power supply. See the image above depicting the work direction.

Here Comes ............ The Ambiance Lamp
