At numerous family and office events, we require some decoration lights to enhance our occasion and different spots like stages, parties and so on. The circuit briefs here are perfect to use for these events.
The circuit is utilizing barely cheap parts to give a decent and eye-catching impact. First of all, this simple circuit requires two 220V Lamps individually and afterward it blinks each of them multiple times. The circuit is utilizing four 220V 100-watt lamps. Thereby, you can likewise utilize other low-watt 220V bulbs which are easily accessible in the market in various colors. The Triac BT136 can deal with a max 4-ampere load and thusly make a point to utilize the number of lamps as per this limit.

220V Decoration Light Circuit
Working Explanation
This circuit is working around two integrated ICs, which are a NE555 timer and a CD 4017 Johnson decade counter. The 4017 IC has 10 yield outputs from which we have utilized just 6 yield outputs. The NE555 timer is filling in as a positive pulse generator in the circuit to give a pulse at the timer input pin 14 of the 4017 IC.
The 4017 IC will initiate another yield output and close the previous one each time a positive pulse is got from the 555 IC. The speed of flashing can an increased or diminished with the 100K variable resistor.
