Add some colour to your projects with these auto-cycling rainbow LEDs. Each 5 mm LED automatically cycles through every hue of the rainbow at three different speeds — fast, medium, and slow — one after the other, with no external controller or library required. Just supply power and enjoy the show.
From the outside, these LEDs look and behave just like standard single-colour 5 mm LEDs, making them a drop-in replacement in any circuit where you want colour-changing effects without additional complexity.

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- LED
- A light-emitting diode is a small electronic component that lights up when current flows through it in the correct direction. In this kit, LEDs create the flashing effect, so polarity and correct soldering matter for the project to work.
