I have a project that I have started on that involves the turning on of a power source. I plan to use standard 120vac as the power source that will be turned on. my problem is that the signal that i want to use to turn the circuit on is roughly the equilivant of a AA battery (1.5v); I can boost the 1.5v to either 6 or 12v if needed. I thought that I could use a SCR to take care of this but I am not sure if 1, a scr will work, or 2, what kind of scr to use. The idea is to have 120v run through my circuit to power a light which will remain off untill the 1.5v signal trips the circuit and turns it on and stays on after the 1.5v signal fades. Any ideas?
Thanks
