Magic Lights is used for making different patterns using lasers and for decoration purposes.

It uses 14 bi-colour (red and green) light emitting diodes, having three terminals each. Different dancing colour patterns are produced using this circuit since each LED can produce three different colours.

Easy to build and works without any external supply, just a 9V battery. LEDs used are robust so the chances of getting a fault in long run are very less. Not affected by shock and vibration. Running Energy cost is FAR LESS. LEDs use 1/8 to 1/10 the amount of energy (small electric bills).

Very Sensitive to Voltage. Over Voltage must be Avoided.

High Initial price due to the presence of LEDs.

1.

Bi-Colored LED:

capable of emitting two different colors of light, red and green It has 3 leads, housed in a 3mm or 5mm epoxy package. Positive voltage directs one of the LED terminals, causing that terminal to emit light of the corresponding color; when the direction of the voltage is reversed, the other color is emitted.

2.

IC CD4511:

It is a 16 pin BCD-to-7-segment decoder IC from the 4000 CMOS series. Takes in a 4-bit BCD number and, through a series of internal logic gates, generates 7 outputs. It is used to build microcontrollers or other ICs that can be configured through firmware to perform the same functions in a smaller package.

IC CD 4518:
C D 4 5 1 8

It is 16 pin Dual BCD Up-Counter IC.

It has two identical, internally synchronous 4-stage Counter. The Counter stages are D-type Flip-Flops having interchangeable Clock and Enable lines for incrementing on either the positive-going or negativegoing transition. The Counters can be cleared by giving high input on their Reset lines.

IC-555:

It is an integrated circuit(chip) used in a variety of timer, pulse generation and oscillator applications. In a-stable mode, the 555 timer puts out a continuous stream of rectangular pulses having a specified frequency.

Particularly with bipolar 555s, low values of R1 must be avoided so that the output stays saturated near zero volts during discharge
In the a-stable mode, the frequency of the pulse stream depends on the values of R1, R2 and C:

The middle terminal (pin 2) of the LEDs is the common cathode pin which is grounded. The positive voltage is applied to pin 1 and pin 3, depending on the desired color. IC 555 is applied in a-stable mode of multi-vibrator to produce clock signal for IC CD4518 (IC2 & IC3)that are dual BCD counters.

The outputs from IC2 and IC3 are connected to IC4 through IC7 which are BCD to 7-segment latch/decoder/driver ICs (CD4518).
The outputs from former pair (IC4 & IC5)are connected to pin No. 1 of all the 14 bi-colour LEDs via current limiting resistors, the outputs of the latter pair (IC6 & IC7) are similarly connected to pin No.3 of all the bi-colour LEDs The circuit produces a magical dancing lights effect.

It can be used for decoration purposes. It can be used for laser shows by replacing the LEDs with laser module. It can be used for lightning purposes in household purposes. It can be used as indicators on roads etc.
