By connecting this circuit in parallel with the speaker of a sound system, the LED will blink to the rhythm of the music played.

   The device can be used with amplifiers up to 50 W and the resistor connected in series with the transformer will depend on the power according to the table given with the assembly.

    In figure 1 we have the diagram of the apparatus.

The transformer may be of the primary type of 110 V and secondary of 6 V to 12 V with a current of 250 to 500 mA.

   Instead of the diode we can also use a second LED connected in the same position in parallel.
