Project 1 Color Light
Snap Circuits ® uses electronic blocks that
snap onto a clear plastic grid to build different
circuits. These blocks have different colors
and numbers on them so that you can easily
identify them.
Build the circuit shown on the left by placing
all the parts with a black 1 next to them on the
board first. Then, assemble parts marked with
a 2. Install two (2) “AA” batteries (not
included) into each of the battery holders (B1)
if you have not done so already.
Turn on the slide switch (S1), and enjoy the
light show from the color LED (D8). For best
effects, place one of the LED attachments
(tower, egg, or fiber optic tree) on the color
LED, and dim the room lights. The fiber optic
tree must be used with its mounting base.

Use the circuit built in project 1, but replace
the color LED (D8) with the white LED (D6).
Try it with one of the LED attachments, and
in a dark room.
Use the circuit built in project 2, but replace the
white LED (D6) with the red LED (D1). Try it with
one of the LED attachments, and in a dark room.

The white LED produces very bright light.
LEDs are this one are increasingly being
used for home lighting and flashlights. They
are more efficient than normal light bulbs. The red LED is not nearly as bright as the
other LEDs. LEDs like this one are used as
indicators in many products in your home.
They are inexpensive, but don’t produce
much light.

Snappy says the color
LED actually
contains
separate red, green, and
blue lights, with a micro-
circuit controlling them.
