Abstract: A music initiated Christmas light set controller includes a casing in which is disposed a circuit board. The circuit board is connected to a plurality of light sets and includes a bridge rectifier, a voltage regulator circuit, a music generating integrated circuit (IC), a piezo-electric transducer, an alternative switch IC, and a plurality of thyristors. The casing includes a loudspeaker aperture for output of music, a volume control knob connected to a variable resistor for controlling the volume of music, and a knob for alternative selection of the lighting inside. A bridge rectifier is coupled to 110 volt A.C. power for providing full-wave rectification thereof. The output of the bridge rectifier is coupled to a voltage regulation circuit for dropping and filtering the voltage to form a stable voltage for application to a music IC and also provide a signal voltage to an alternative switch IC.
