A miniature traffic light standing 6.5 cm tall, featuring red, yellow, and green LEDs. Perfect for dioramas, model sets, dollhouses, and electronics learning projects. The LEDs are common anode — connect 3–6V to the black wire (anode) and ground through the red, yellow, or green wires to light each colour individually.
Key Features
- Three LEDs – Red, yellow, and green in a realistic traffic light housing
- Common Anode – Black wire is positive, coloured wires are individual cathodes
- 3–6V Operating Voltage – Easy to drive from batteries or microcontrollers
- 6.5 cm Tall – Miniature scale for models and projects
Wiring
- Black wire – Anode (positive, 3–6V)
- Red wire – Red LED cathode
- Yellow wire – Yellow LED cathode
- Green wire – Green LED cathode
Ideal For
- Dioramas and model sets
- Arduino and microcontroller learning projects
- Dollhouses and miniature scenes
- Traffic light programming exercises
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.
