Door Light Switch
The automatic door light switch circuit operates using a simple yet effective mechanism. It typically incorporates a magnetic reed switch or a similar sensor that responds to the door's movement. When the door is opened, the sensor is triggered, allowing current to flow through the circuit and illuminating the connected lamp. Conversely, once the door is closed, the sensor returns to its original state, interrupting the current flow and turning off the lamp.
The circuit often includes a relay to handle the lamp's load, as well as a power supply unit that provides the necessary voltage and current. A resistor may be included to limit the current flowing through the sensor, ensuring its longevity and reliability. Additionally, a diode may be placed in parallel with the relay coil to prevent back EMF when the relay is de-energized, protecting other components from voltage spikes.
This type of circuit is beneficial for enhancing convenience and safety in various settings, such as homes, offices, and public buildings, by ensuring that areas are well-lit when accessed. Proper design considerations, such as component ratings and power supply specifications, are crucial for the circuit's effective and safe operation.This automatic door light switch circuit turns ON a lamp when a door is opened then turns it OFF when the door is opened again.
