    This circuit automatically switches off a bathroom light after 30 minutes and provides backup lighting in the event of a power outage. It uses a binary counter integrated circuit to turn off the main light after 30 minutes. When power fails, a monostable timer circuit powers white LEDs for three minutes from a rechargeable battery that is normally charged by the circuit. This provides backup lighting, especially useful for showering at night. The circuit ensures the light turns off to save electricity while also giving lighting in a power outage.

    LIGHT WITH BACK-UP LAMP

    ometimes we forget to switch off


    the bathroom light and it remains on unnoticed for long periods. This circuit solves the problem
    of electricity wastage by switching off
    the lamp automatically after 30 minutes once it is switched on. The back-

    turns off. LED1 indicates that the oscillator is working.


    The back-up white-LED lamp comprising LED3 and LED4 gives ample
    light in the event of mains failure. It is
    powered by a 9V rechargeable battery,
    which is charged at around 200mA current via diode D6 and resistor R7 when
    the circuit is switched on.

    IC 7812 (IC1) and capacitors C4 and C5


    provide stabilised 12V for the circuit.
    Assemble the circuit on a Vero
    board and enclose it in a watertight
    plastic case. Connect the bathroom
    lamp (either 25-watt bulb or 11-watt
    CFL tube) to the circuit via N/C contacts of the relay, so that it turns on
    when switch S1 is pressed. For easy

    up LED lamp provided in the circuit


    turns on for three minutes when mains
    fails. This is helpful especially when
    you are taking a shower at night.
    The circuit is built around binary
    counter CD4060 (IC2), which has a builtin oscillator and 14 cascaded bistable
    multivibrators. The oscillator generates
    clock pulses based on the values of resistors R3 and R4 and capacitor C3.
    For the given values, Q11 output of
    IC2 goes high after 30 minutes of poweron. Resistor R2 resets the IC for proper
    operation. The output of IC2 is fed to
    the gate of the SCR via resistor R6 and
    LED2, which function as a voltage dropper as well as output status indicator.
    When the SCR gets gate drive, it
    fires to energise relay RL1. The latching function of the SCR keeps the relay energised until the power to the
    circuit is switched off using switch S1.
    When the relay energises, its normally
    closed (N/C) contacts break and light

    The back-up lamp circuit is built


    around timer NE555 (IC3) designed as
    a monostable. The output of IC3 goes
    high for three minutes based on the
    values of preset VR1 and capacitor C9.
    When the circuit is switched on, IC3
    gets power supply via diode D6 and its
    trigger pin 2 remains high due to resistor R8. As a result, its output remains
    low as long as mains is present.
    When power fails, pin 2 of IC3 gets
    triggered via capacitor C8 and the
    monostable output goes high to switch
    on the white LEDs (LED3 and LED4).
    Resistor R9 limits the current through
    the LEDs to a safe level. Diode D7 is
    forward biased to give full voltage to
    the monostable when power fails.
    The power supply for the circuit is
    derived from a 15V AC, 250mA transformer. The secondary output is rectified by a full-wave rectifier comprising
    diodes D1 through D4. Capacitor C1
    smoothes the resulting DC. Regulator

    access, fix switch S1 along with the neon


    indicator outside the bathroom. z
