Fun and easy DIY soldering project
Fun and easy DIY soldering project for anyone getting into the hobby. Read the directions. You have to get the resistors and capacitor installed and clipped before putting the battery compartments on.Batteries are not included, there are 2 ornaments and each ornament requires 2 CR2032 batteries. LEDs are definitely very bright. Good quality, good build, about 30 minutes to put together.

Great beginner project
I got this as my very first soldering experience and it went great. After reading reviews mentioning faulty parts I tested all my resistors with a multimeter just to see and they all measured correctly. I’m sure there are probably some duds in the bunch but they gave extra resistors as well to hopefully cover that. For the cheap price it’s a good deal, and was for me at least a fun experience.

Great kit, and super easy!
I really enjoyed this kit. In fact, I ordered three of them! They are super easy to put together. There is just one thing to know – the silk screened parts images and the printed manual disagreed with each other as to the direction to mount the LEDs. LEDs are polarized, so it is vital to mount them correctly. I ignored the printed instructions and went with what was printed on the PCB. Doing so made them work perfectly the first time, and every time since. The seller has since contacted me and told me that they have corrected the issue. Even so, the kit is great fun, and easy – even for a beginner like me.I did make one change to how it goes together, though. There is no on/off switch or button. So I bought one and wired it into series with one of the batteries. This gives me the option to turn the lights on and off without having to remove the batteries. See the pictures for the modification I made. You can see where the left battery was supposed to be by the lines printed on the PCB. I just cocked it a bit sideways and wired a switch in one of the holes for the battery holder, then connected the battery holder and the switch with an extra length of wire. The wire you can see is just an off-cut from one of the LEDs. It works perfectly.All in all, I highly recommend these kits.

Missing parts
Missing both 555P chips making this kit useless.Edit: Seller contacted me and is sending me a replacement kit. Thanks

Perfect for a gift to soldering beginners
The kit is packaged very nicely in a thick clear plastic box. Beware: no batteries included (2 CR2032 needed).Extra resistors and LEDs are included, which is important for a beginner oriented kit. The LEDs are very bright and the components I received looked to be top-shelf quality (Nichicon capacitors and a REAL TI NE555N IC).Instructions are decent and include good pictures. I didn’t notice any obvious Engrish (no Google Translate), but I wasn’t looking too hard as I only glanced at the instructions.Battery life is a few days before one of the colors of LED stops lighting up.If you intend to give a completed kit as a gift, the included box is not deep enough to fit the completed ornament as it is too tall with the battery sockets installed. If you’re crafty, I would replace the included ribbon and chain with your own supplies, an ornament hook is nicer and the ribbon is folded up in the package. I suppose you could try flattening it with an iron on the lowest setting (ribbon is made of synthetic material).

Simple and easy project.
This project was easy to build, clearly labeled, and all the parts were accounted for, (a couple extra pieces of some parts but thats never a bad thing).A few things I did not like were:1. batteries are not included (Requires 2 CR2032 coin cell batteries which most people dont have on hand)2. there are two resistors that are placed too close the LEDs and cuases the LEDs to sit slightly crooked instead of flush to the board3. The battery holders are mounted to the back of the board but the issue comes from the holders being above the legs of other parts that have been soldered on the front of the board. This causes the holders to not sit flush and makes soldering the legs difficult so again some force must be exerted to ensure the legs are properly soldered.4. This is a cuase for concern, the gap between the sets of holes for the NE555N chip are wider than the chip and you have to exert some force to position the legs into the wholes. The legs on chips like these are easy to bend but also easy to break off so exercising caution when trying to widen the leg span to fit in the board is advised.Aside from a few dislike this porject is nice and I like how there are ribbons and chains to attach to each ornament. Also the space you place the chain and ribbon through is a perfect fit and the piece of board that is being held up by the chain is good and thick too.

Cool Christmas decoration.
I had fun and my nephew took the pieces for the second one and played with them. He wasn’t interested in making the ornament haha but he made his own little thing with the LEDs. . I modified it to use a rechargable battery and it worked nicely.

Good Idea For Grand Kids.
I ordered 3 sets (2 PKs) for 5 Grand Kids! I received a notice that the CBs were printed wrong for LEDs. short pin (-) to the flat side (+). not sure if this is for all of the kits or a certain batch. you will get a correction from the company if needed..I have wondered if the new version has the fixed polarity for the LED bulbs, or still (-) for flat side and (+) on round side..Can you share the power switch specs on the upgraded kits?Dec 2023 – The new boards with power switch added, the LEDs still need to be reversed, longer lead to minus and short lead to plus, it explains this in the assembly guide.

beau cadeau a faire avec les enfant

This was so much better than i expected. The end ornaments look great, and my kids were so proud.*** without an experienced adult this would have been way too difficult ***
John VSDecember 7, 2024
Though there are no instructions, the kit is quite easy to assemble. I soldered both concurrently within about an hour. The blinking red/green effect isn’t unpleasant (of course, that’s a matter of opinion). It’s a great geek tree ornament.

This is an easy to assemble and solder. Great for beginners.
Alex Aideira-LeiteDecember 7, 2024
We bought these as Christmas gifts to help get the family into electronics projects. It does not come with instructions. We were struggling a bit helping them even though weâve done similar projects before, mostly trying figure out the directions of some of the pieces. It did work in the end though, which was good.But because there are so many pieces to add, itâs basically impossible to add them all and test it before soldering, since theyâd all fall out when flipping it over. This would normally be okay but was very frustrating as the + and – marks for the leds didnât line up or make sense, so we had to remove the solder and flip a bunch of the bulbs to make it work properly because the markings werenât clear.
