Fading Christmas Lights by Bart Trepak
--------------------------------------

Everyday Practical Electronics, December 1998

This neat constructional project uses a PIC16C54 to provide
sophisticated 'fading' for your christmas-tree lights. It
could also be used for exhibition work, parties, discos -
anywhere that needs a gradually fading/ blending light show.

Mains operated, transformerless supply, with suppressed three-
channel triac outputs.

A PCB carries most of the mains interwiring and helps ensure
safe assembly. However the constructional article contains
essential safety advice which must be adhered to.
