A tri-colour tower light with red, yellow, and green LED segments plus a built-in buzzer, powered by 12V DC. Each light and the buzzer are independently controlled via separate wires, making it easy to indicate machine status, project states, or alert conditions from a microcontroller.
The light mount rotates 180° so the tower can be installed vertically, horizontally, or at any angle in between. Mounting holes on the base allow secure attachment to panels and enclosures.
Key Features
- Three Colour Segments – Red, yellow, and green LEDs
- Built-In Buzzer – Audible alert controlled via a separate wire
- Independent Control – Each light and buzzer activated individually by grounding its wire
- Adjustable Mount – 180° rotation for vertical, horizontal, or angled installation
- Mounting Holes – Secure panel mounting
Wiring
- Brown wire – Common +12V power
- Red wire – Red light (ground to activate)
- Yellow wire – Yellow light (ground to activate)
- Green wire – Green light (ground to activate)
- Orange wire – Buzzer (ground to activate)
Specifications
- Operating Voltage – 12V DC
- Current – ~50 mA per segment
- Light Source – LED (red, yellow, green)
- Mount Rotation – 180°

Resources
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- IoT
- Short for Internet of Things, meaning physical devices that connect to networks or the internet to send data or be controlled remotely. It matters if you want projects such as connected sensors, remote controls or classroom data-logging activities.
- 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.
