This simple kit allows you to add randomly blinking multicolor lights to many kinds of 3D printed project. It's perfect for things that are hollow like vases, Halloween skulls, Christmas ornaments, or other projects.

Kit Contents

The kit includes:

  • RGB Random Color LED
  • One CR2032 battery holder
  • One CR2032 battery
  • 47 Ohm current limiting resistor
  • 9x13mm on/off switch

LED Technical Information

The LED includes built-in circuitry to flast, fade, and change from one color to another semi-randomly. Changes will be fast sometimes and slow other times.

  • LED Size: T3 (3mm diameter LED)
  • Forward voltage: 3 to 3.2V
  • Max current: 20 mA

When using the 47 ohm resistor and CR2032 battery included in the kit, you can expect about 80 hours of running time. The brightness of the LED will reduce over time but it will still be reasonably bright even at the 80 hour mark.

Assembly

Soldering is required. Use hookup wire (not included) to connect the LED, battery holder, resistor, and switch in series. The + terminal of the battery holder is the terminal closest to the end with the rectangular part jutting out. That has to be on the "long leg" of the LED.
