Mini Pocket Strobe- This circuit is a mini stroboscope which you can make so small that it can fit into your pocket. The circuit is not very powerful, but is works out of two small 1.5V batteries for an hour constantly and maximum flash rate. The flash rate is variable from zero to about 10 Hz. Quite nice small device to have with you in parties to gain attention __ Designed by Tomi Engdahl Miniature Strobe Light- It is a circuit for a strobe light that uses a neon glow lamp with reflector to create an effect of a strobe light. __ Electronics Projects for You
Momentary Touch Activated Switch- A single 1.5v silver oxide button cell powers this complete touch activated switch circuit for 5 years. It features both a normally open and a normally closed set of solid-state switch thermals. It also has an adjustable sensitivity, which can be set for a touch capacitance change as small as 1 picofarad. . . . Hobby Circuit designed by Dave Johnson P.E.-January, 2002

Photo Electric Street Light- This is basically a Schmitt Trigger circuit which receives input from a cadmium sulfide photo cell and controls a relay that can be used to switch off and on a street lamp at dawn and dusk. I have built the circuit with a 120 ohm/12 volt relay and monitored performance using a lamp dimmer, but did not connect the relay to an outside light. The photo cell should be shielded from the lamp to prevent feedback and is usually mounted above the light on top of a reflector and pointed upward at the sky so the lamp light does not strike the photo cell and switch off the lamp. The photo cell is __ Designed by Bill Bowden
Photo Flash Charger Minimizes Parts Count- 10/22/98 EDN Design Ideas: Photo-flash and strobe devices operate by discharging a high-voltage capacitor into a bulb. Charging the capacitor from a battery or other low-voltage source requires a step-up DC/DC converter to boost the voltage, typically to 300V. One way to generate the high voltage Design by Steven Chenetz
Photo Meter Assesses Ambient Light- 10/15/12 EDN Design Ideas: When most PN-junction diodes are reverse biased, they will produce a small photovoltaic output as the light level is increased. Most PN-junction diodes can be used as photodiodes. While not optimized for this application, they do work. When the diode is reverse-biased, it will produce a small photovoltaic output as the light level is increased. LEDs are particularly suited for this task because their housings are transparent Design by Raju Baddi
Photo Timer- Time is set by potentiometer R2 which provides a range or 1 sec. To 100 seconds with timing capacitor C1 of 100uF. The output at pin 3 is normally low and the relay is held off. A momentary push on switch S1 energies the relay which is held closed for a time 1.1 X ( R1+R2) __ Designed by Ravi Sumithraarachchi

Strobe Light- A xenon flash tube is a triggered gas discharge device. A voltage may be impressed across the tube and it will not conduct until the xenon gas is ionised by an external high voltage (typically 3 to 5kV). Once triggered, the gas becomes a very low impedance, and discharges the storage capacitors in about 1ms (this varies considerably, but this figure is fine for basic calculations) __ Designed by Rod Elliott ESP
Strobe Light- Disco anyone? Actually, this strobe serves a much more useful purpose then making it look cool when you dance in the dark. You can use it to view fast moving objects, look for cracks in PC boards (hold the strobe on the trace side of the board and look from the component side) , and it is a great attention getter in a store window __ Designed by Aaron Cake
Strobe Light 12 Volt Coil Powered- This circuit will give provide a Good Strobe Effect for a variety of
Portable Uses. Nominal current draw is "up to about" 1 amp at 12 volts. Depending on value of capacitor on pin 2 of the 555 and the particular choke that is used. The .01 cap on pin 2 of the 555 may be slightly changed in value to optimize the output drive to the 22 mfd capacitor. __ Designed by G.L. Chemelec

Strobo Disco Light using Standard Tube Lamp (TL)- Using a standard fluorescent tube lamp ( TL) , you can make your own disco light, similar to a stroboscope light. You can even use a half-broken lamp, which one side of the heating filaments has broken. This circuit use only one side heating filament inside the tube. Look at the circuit’s schematic below.__
Stroboscope- The 220v supply is rectified and then used to charge the two 3µ* capacitors. The 1µ capacitor also charges ( more slowly) through the 150k resistor and 1M variable resistor. When the voltage across the 1µ capacitor is high enough to cause the diacs to conduct, the thyristor is triggered. This produces a high voltage "pulse" at the secondary of the transformer. This pulse causes the tube to conduct and a flash of light is produced. __ Acknowledgements The stroboscope was taken from an excellent French electronics magazine sadly, no longer published called "Elex"
Stroboscope triggers- This circuit typically uses a voltage around 300 volts for the main high voltage supply and needs a low voltage supply of typically 6 to 15 volts. __ Designed by Don Klipstein
