Learning Outcomes and Benefits

STEM Learning Made Fun: This DIY kit turns holiday cheer into a hands-on STEM electronics project. Kids, teens, and adults will explore real-world science while building their own flashing LED Christmas tree.

Circuit Design Basics: Learn how an electronic circuit works, including current flow, resistance, and voltage. See how different components work together to power a glowing light display. Our instruction manual contains the circuit diagram along with a technical description of how the whole circuit works.

LED Science & Technology: Discover how LEDs (light-emitting diodes) produce light and why they are used in modern electronics. Experiment with colorful, flashing LED patterns and understand how they’re controlled.

Component Recognition: Identify and use essential electronics parts like resistors, capacitors, transistors, and switches. Learn polarity, placement, and their roles in making the circuit function.

Soldering Practice: Gain valuable soldering skills while assembling through-hole components on a PCB. Soldering is one of the most useful skills for anyone interested in DIY electronics, repair, or prototyping.

Problem-Solving and Logic: Improve troubleshooting ability by checking polarity, fixing solder bridges, or spotting connection errors—building skills that carry into more advanced electronics projects.

Confidence for Future Projects: Completing this project gives beginners and hobbyists a foundation to tackle other STEM kits, DIY gadgets, and science experiments with ease.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What power sources can I use?
A: A micro-USB (4.5–5.5V) port is included in the kit. You'll need a USB cable, but any micro-USB cable you have available (e.g.: phone charger) will work. You can also supply power via batteries or any other 4.5-5.5V power source which can be connected to the “BAT” terminals available on the circuit board. Our instruction manual tells you how to do this, but please Contact us if you need any further guidance.

Q: Do I need previous electronics experience?
A: No. Beginners can complete this kit following our illustrated instruction manual. It uses only through-hole components which are easy to solder—the main challenge with this kit is proper alignment and soldering of all the PCBs together at the end of the assembly process, but our manual covers this process step-by-step with photos included.

Q: Is this kit easy to store so I can reuse it every Christmas?
A: Yes! Once built, your LED Christmas tree can be used year after year as a delightful Christmas decoration. Simply unplug it and store it wrapped in some bubble-wrap, craft paper or any other protective packaging you have available.

Q: Is the Christmas Tree safe to be left on for prolonged periods of time?
A: Yes! The Christmas Tree uses very low power and only draws 0.2 amps. It does not produce heat during use and is safe to leave on for prolonged periods. However, as with all electrical equipment, we still recommend that you power the tree off when unattended (e.g.: if leaving the house or going to bed). If using with a USB cable/plug, please refer to that items manufacturers manual for safety considerations.

Q: Do you have an acrylic display case available for use with this product?
A: Yes! While it's not listed on the product page, we do supply a clear acrylic case for this item—the case can enhance the appearance of the tree while also protecting the electronic components from damage. If you're interested in purchasing the case also, just Contact Us to request it.

neat looking kit

nice little kit , hopefully will be a bright little item, yet to construct

Hi Mark, thank you for taking the time to review your purchase, we really appreciate it and we're glad you're happy with your kit. I assume you've received the detailed instruction manual that was emailed onto you immediately after your purchase (or which can also be downloaded from our site)? Feel free to contact us if you have any questions during the assembly—our technical team will be more than happy to assist, if needed.

Perfect

Perfect kit. It's what I was looking for, simple, but the visual effect is phenomenal. Friends liked it a lot and envy me. Then bought two more. Best wishes from Bologna (Italy).

Hi Massimo, thanks so much for taking the time to write this review, we really appreciate it. Glad to hear you enjoyed the kit so much so that you purchased more than one :) I'm sure the finished product will last you many years to be pulled out again each Christmas to delight your visitors.

Christmas Tree

A simple, straightforward project (almost) that turns out to be a delightful display for the holidays.
The "almost" is for the proper way to insert the 37 LEDs. The instructions rightly say to put the long leg through the hole marked with a + sign. On my kit however, 36 of the markings were diode symbols instead of the + sign. If this is the case with your project, put the long leg in the hole at the back of the arrow. The symbol points to the negative side. Alternatively, the long leg goes through the hole that's square, the negative through the round hold.
I am quite happy with my result!

Hi Paul, thank you for taking the time to leave a review, we really appreciate it! Thank you kindly also for highlighting the detail around the installation of the LEDs - this has been passed onto our Technical team to add/update in the instruction manual, as it sounds like important guidance which will surely benefit others that build the kit. Hopefully your Christmas tree will bring a lot of cheer to all who see it this Christmas :)

Rubbish

The kit doesn't work, the instructions are in Chinese and the whole thing is very flimsy.

Hi Johanna, thank you for your purchase. The detailed English instruction manual was sent to your email address automatically immediately after you placed the order. If you don't see it, check your spam folder, and just email us if you can't find it and we'll send it again. The kit absolutely works, but it's like a jigsaw; if there's a single component in the wrong place or in the wrong direction, the whole thing won't work. So if your isn't working, there's something incorrectly placed. It's also very solid once it's built properly using solder to connect the base and the tree together as shown in the manual. You can desolder and resolder the compnents properly following the details in the manual, if you wish.

Office desk Xmas decorations sorted!

Excellent kit, the colours are so bright, lights up the whole corner of the room... have ordered a couple of these to decorate my desk at work this year :) looking forward to all the compliments I’m going to get when I tell them I made them myself too :D

Hi Henry, thanks again for taking the time to review your product. These surely will brighten up the office at work this year and bring about some seasonal cheer! Small and lightweight to pack away afterwards, so you'll have it to use again and again, year after year.
