Ringing Phone Light Flasher



I have received several emails asking how to connect up some lights so that when the phone rings, they flash. This is very useful in a situation were there is lots of noise and it is impossable to hear the phone, such as a workshop. Here is such a device. The ring detect part of this circuit came from http://www.hut.fi/Misc/Electronics/circuits/telephone_ringer.html.

Circuit diagram

Parts:
C1 0.47uF 250V Capacitor
R1, R2 10K 1/4 W Resistor
R3 1K 1/4W Resistor
D1, D2 20V 1/4W Zener Diode
D3 1N4148 Diode
Q1 2N3904 NPN Transistor or 2N2222
U1 4N27 Opto Isolator
RELAY Solid State Or Regular Relay (See Notes)
MISC Case, Wire, Board

Notes:
1. You may need to use a lower voltage zener for D1 and D2.
2. You can use a regular relay instead of a solid state relay, but the arcing accross the contacts may destroy it pretty quickly.
3. Be very sure that you have not accidentally connected 120V to the phone line when building and installing this circuit.
