The lights seem to dance in time with the music. Line-voltage lamps of about 40 to 100 Mr do nicely. The current for the lamp is from an SCR. When low-level audio is present across T1, SCR1 is not triggered into conduction. A louder signal, how-ever, triggers the SCR so that the lamp lights and follows the sounds. Since SCR1 is operated by an alternating current, the rectifier moves out of the avalanche condition when the gate current is low. Potentiometer R3 lets you adjust the power reach-ing transformer T1, so that with normal operating volume, SCR1 triggers again and again, except dur-ing quiet passages.
