Introduction of clap switch?

This circuit can switch on and off light a fan or a radio etc;by the sound of a clap This circuit is constructed using basic electronic component like resistor transistor relay transformer capacitor .This circuit turns on light for the first clap . the light turns on till the next clap .for the next clap turns off this circuit works with 12v voltage . therefore a step-cown transformer 12v/300ma is employed. The working of the circuit is based on amplifying nature of the transistor . switching the nature of transistor and relay as an electronic switch.

What are the advantages disadvantages and applications of a clap switch?

The major advantage of a clap switch is that you can turn something (e.g. a lamp) on and off from any location in the room (e.g. while lying in bed) simply by clapping your hands. The major disadvantage is that it's generally cumbersome to have to clap one's hands to turn something on or off and it's generally seen as simpler for most use cases to use a traditional light switch. The primary application involves an elderly or mobility-impaired person. A clap switch is generally used for a light, television, radio, or similar electronic device that the person will want to turn on/off from bed.


How do you switch on a light bulb by clapping?

You have to install a device known as a "clapper" into your receptacle outlet. Plug your lamp into this device. It is sound activated. When you clap your hands the device senses the frequency of the clap and activated its internal circuitry. This closes a relay that supplies voltage to the lamp and it turns on.
