A circuit with 8 LEDs that flash in a somewhat random fashion (well it's not actually at random, but it does visually appear that way).
Set this relay-based timer for anywhere from a few seconds to about 15 minutes so that you can time on/off almost anything.
This timer kit contains seven different timing modes using only ONE IC and some support components on a single-sided PCB.

Circuit diagram for an ultra low-noise driver/supply circuit for white LEDs, using the IC LTC3201. Ensures a stable brightness in white LED driven items.
Timer kits are an ever popular item with the hobbyist. This uses a 555 timer IC and goes from 8 seconds to 8192 seconds.
The circuit flashes five LED's in sequence repeatedly until you turn it off. Flash rate is user adjustable. The circuit uses an IC chip on Board which you will then mount on the included mother board; battery holder is included. Powered by a 3 volt supply
Flashes five very bright LED's in any one of seven, user-selectable, patterns. A COB (chip-on-board) IC makes assembly very easy; the chip is supplied premounted on its own board and a motherboard contains the entire circuit. Operates on 3 volts DC, batte

Schematic for an electronic audio level VU meter that uses LED's to display the volume/audio levels.
Timer circuits are handy for many experimenters projects, not to mention the photo lab. This kit has three separate circuits that can be used individually or together. Each circuit has a separate 5 Amp relay. Circuits operate on 9 Volt DC.

A simple circuit that flashes an LED when a cell phone has an incoming call. Uses a coil to pick-up the signal emitted during an incoming call event. Cell phone call detector.
This is an excellent kit for use as an introduction to electronics and circuit analysis. Seven LEDs arranged like a real die face. Push the switch and the die rolls and then slows down, stops. Ingenious circuit design used to minimize components. Uses 140
