How to build a lightning simulator for Halloween

A music-to-light modulator is a circuit which controls the intensity of one or more lights in response to an audio input. The kit is ideal to give the rhythm to any party or disco without much money. Very safe operation as it uses an opto-coupler as a coupling device between the audio and the mains controlling stages of the circuit.
Input trigger voltage: 2.3 - 2.5V (min)
Operating voltage: 110 or 250 VAC
Power handling: 220W @ 110V or 500W @ 250V
PCB size: 2.16" x 1.63" (To help in the decision to select an enclosure keep in mind that the heat sink used in the kit is about 1" tall.)
PLEASE NOTE, THIS KIT USES 120V MAINS ELECTRICITY AND SHOULD NOT BE ATTEMPTED BY ANYONE WITHOUT THE PROPER SKILL LEVEL. THIS SHOULD ALSO BE BUILT IN A SUITABLE PLASTIC ENCLOSURE.

Mini-Vox and Relay kit

The idea behind a VOX (voice activated switch) is that instead of the user pressing a switch to activate a relay, the sound of the users voice itself activates the relay. This gives hands-free control over devices like tape recorders. Power supply needed: 12VDC center positive 2.5mm jack. Electret microphone to pick up the sound is included. PCB size: 44mm x 48mm (1.73inch x 1.89inch).

IR Door Minder

This kit uses an infrared (IR) beam to monitor door & passage-ways or any other area. When the beam is broken a relay is tripped which can be used to sound a bell or alarm. Suitable for detecting customers entering a shop, cars coming up a driveway, etc. The IR beam is very strong. Distances over 25 yards can be monitored with this kit. A 12VDC unregulated supply is required to power the kit. A 12V wall adaptor is fine. Only one power supply needs to be used to power both units. The relays in this kit are rated to switch mains voltages. With power applied the relay is normally operated and only releases when the beam is broken. The relay contacts labelled “NO” (Normally Open) and “NC” (Normally Closed) refer to when the relay is released. The plastic tube is to put over the IR LED to direct its beam. This is needed when the barrier is only a few yards apart. IR transmitter PCB size:: 45mm x 30mm (1.77" x 1.18")
IR receiver PCB size:: 50mm x 48mm (1.97" x 1.89") (CPS130)
