This is a simple, one lamp colour organ. It is far less complicated then the Three Channel Colour Organ. It is simply a lamp controlled by an SCR. It can be built in a few minutes, and combined with other circuits to make some pretty neat effects.

Substitutions |
| R1 | 1 | 500 Ohm Pot | |
| T1 | 1 | 500 Ohm/500 Ohm Matching Transformer | 1K/1K Matching Transformer |
| SCR1 | 1 | C106Y SCR | 106B, Teccor S2003LS1 |
| L1 | 1 | 10-100 Watt Lamp | |
| MISC | 1 | Case, Board, Socket For L1, Line Cord | |
|
|
- L1 can be any 10-100 Watt lamp.
- R1 adjusts sensitivity. The greater the resistance, the less sensitive the colour organ becomes.
- Since this project is powered by 120 VAC, it must be installed in a case.
- You can also use the Teccor S2003LS1 SCR for SCR1. These give better sensitivity and brightness than the C106Y units.

| The secret to understanding electronics is to understand each part and what role it plays in the circuit. Of each thing you see in a circuit, ask: "What to I expect to put in and what will this device do with it." If you can answer that, the circuit is self-explanitory. If not, educate yourself. Don't expect everything to be handed to you with a ribbon. |
