Torches and lights

This kit allows you to put together a simple LED light which is powered by 3 x AA batteries and will run continuously for around a year. Developed by Russell Gurrin and featured in Renew magazine, it...

This kit allows you to put together a simple LED torch (flashlight) which is powered by 3 x AAA batteries. Developed specifically for primary schools, where soldering is not allowed, rather than the...

Got old 9 volt batteries lying around? This kit makes good use of them! Every year when you change smoke alarm batteries, you end up with a handful of 9 volt batteries that are essentially okay, just...

This simple kit uses one IC to flash a pair of LEDs at a low level using an extremely low average current. The kit runs from 9V DC and will run continuously from a standard 9V PP3 (transistor radio)...

This is the bare PCB for our Forever Flasher kit. This simple kit uses one IC to flash a pair of LEDs at a low level using an extremely low average current. The kit runs from 9V DC and will run...

This simple kit uses one IC to flash a power LED at a rate of 0.5Hz to about 5Hz, adjustable with a trimpot. The pulse width is also adjustable from around 50% down to under 5%. Ideal for adding a...

This simple kit uses a handful of discrete components to flash a single LED at a low level using an extremely low average current. The kit runs from 3-12V DC and will run continuously from a standard...

This is just the PCB from our micropower flasher kit. If you have your own components and just want a neat PCB to put them on instead of breadboarding, this is what you want. This simple kit uses a...

These nice little kits use a few components to make a simple LED torch that is powered by a single AAA battery (rechargeables work fine). The LED is driven by a YX8115 LED driver IC, which boosts the...

These simple little torches use 3xAAA batteries to power 9 superbright 5mm LEDs. There's a simple on-off clicky switch in the tailcap and the torch comes with 3XAAA zinc-carbon batteries, so you are...

These nice little lights consist of a PCB with four 5050 RGB LEDs and a tact switch and controller IC. There are USB contacts on both sides and the light works when plugged in either way - just plug...

These nice little lights consist of a PCB with two 5050 RGB LEDs (one each side) and a microphone and controller IC. They have a standard USB type A plug - just plug them into a USB socket and you...

These simple lights consist of a PCB with 3 LEDs and a resistor. There are USB contacts on one side, so just plug them into a USB socket and you have light. Ideal for a bit of extra light when using...

These nice little lights consist of a PCB with 6 LEDs and a touch switch dimming controller IC. There are USB contacts on both sides and the light works when plugged in either way - just plug them...
