The invention discloses a remote control lamp which comprises an infrared receiving head IC1, a singlechip IC2, a triode V1, a resistor R1 and a bidirectional thyristor TRI. A power supply end of the infrared receiving head IC1 is respectively connected with a power supply end of the singlechip IC2, a capacitor C1, a cathode of a diode 1, the resistor R1 and a power supply VCC; an output end of the infrared receiving head IC1 is connected with a P1.2 port of the singlechip IC2; a grounding end of the infrared receiving head IC1 is respectively connected with a grounding end of the singlechip IC2, a T1 pole of the bidirectional thyristor TRI, a resistor R4 and one end of a 220B alternating current; the other end of the 220V alternating current is connected with a lamp bulb L; and the other end of the lamp bulb L is respectively connected with a resistor R3 and a T2 pole of the bidirectional thyristor TRI. The remote control lamp disclosed by the invention is controlled by matching of the infrared receiving head and the singlechip, and is high in stability, simple in circuit structure, low in cost and wide in application range.
