This flashing RGB LED is designed for paper circuits, greeting cards, and craft projects. It automatically cycles through random colour patterns with no programming or microcontroller required — just connect it to a coin cell battery and watch it go.
Perfect for adding eye-catching colour to handmade cards, pop-up books, wearable crafts, and classroom STEM activities. The flat leads make it easy to attach with conductive tape for quick paper circuit builds.
Key Features
- Auto-Cycling RGB – Flashes through random colour patterns automatically
- No Programming Required – Simply connect to power for instant colour effects
- Paper Circuit Friendly – Flat leads work with conductive copper tape
- Low Power – Runs from a standard coin cell battery
Ideal For
- Light-up greeting cards and invitations
- Paper circuit STEM projects and workshops
- Craft and maker activities for all ages
- Wearable and textile electronics
Package Contents
- 1× Flashing RGB LED
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.
- microcontroller
- A microcontroller is a small computer on a chip that runs your program and controls connected inputs and outputs. For this product, it is the part that reads buttons and sensors, drives the display and speaker, and communicates over Bluetooth.
- RGB
- Short for red, green and blue, usually referring to an LED that can mix those three colours. It matters because controlling an RGB LED teaches how separate outputs combine to create different colours.
