7 Clap Activated LED lamp

This 12v Led lamp is clap activated. You can turn on and off the lamp by simply clapping your hands or dropping a book to ground.
Clap activated LED lamp schematic
First the electret microphone picks up a sound from a clap or any sound that mimics a clap then amplify it  using the first 2N222 transistor .Then the flip-flop circuit composed of two 2N222 transistors (form a mirror circuit)  will on and off the output transistor in every clap. Parts of  this project are not critical, you can replace the transistors any general purpose type. Output LED are either white or blue.

  1. the 10uF on mic input is 100pF or 10nF

  2. you can use 100pF or even 10uF capacitor. The idea is increasing the value of capacitor makes the clap circuit sensitive even low frequencies. But if you are planning the the circuit will trigger only with claps, you can use capacitor with lower values.
