Need someone to design a light pulsing circuit

Hi

I've made a cube lamp out of unpopulated circuit boards. It looks
great but I would like it to do more. I want the single 60w bulb in it
to pulse, slowly going from dim to bright and back to dim and so on.
It would pulse at a slow constant rate. If the ambient noise level
rises I would like the lamp to pulse correspondently faster. As the
noise level falls it would go back to a steady slow pulse.

I have hooked up a manual dimmer switch to demonstrate the effect. If
anyone would like to see a small video of the lamp please email me.

I know very little about electronics and there is no hope I could make
this circuit.

If anybody would like a challenge email me and we can discuss it.

Thanks

Tony

I can't afford a professional design. This is only a hobby. I only
have three of these light boxes so I can't afford an expensive design.
I could possibly trade something for the circuit. Check out

A hobby?

You are selling other products but don't want to sell this one?

Give the guy a break. He's an artist. Have you seen his shipping
crates? They alone are worth the $65 to $200 he charges for custom-made
clocks.

Warning to the original poster: you should not try to market a direct
120 Volt line-powered product or else you'll invite safety related
problems such as overheating and CSA or UL certification, which you
ceriainly cannot afford. Use either an AC adapter or batteries. Then
you can assemble them yourself without fear of getting zapped by
electricity or lawyers. For a design, email me.
 
I can think of how you could build a circuit with a simple (and
extremely cheap) 555 timer, but the "ambient noise" part has me
confused. Is there variable noise generated from light bulbs that I
don't know about? The circuit you are requesting would not be very
large or difficult to build from a 555 timer - the hardest part would
be to make it variable, which also is probably not too difficult - but
I would need you to elaborate on the noise part before I thought about
it further.
 
Actually, he's offering a trade.

And just because your "professional" practice lacks evidence of
technical expertise beyond that of, say, a hobbyist, you should not
conclude that you are an artist. That requires talent.
