# Kitronik LAMP:bit - Street Light for BBC micro:bit

**Type:** Product page · **SKU:** CE06060 · **Brand:** [Kitronik](https://core-electronics.com.au/brands/kitronik-australia)
**Page:** https://core-electronics.com.au/kitronik-lamp-bit-street-light-for-bbc-micro-bit.html ([markdown](https://core-electronics.com.au/kitronik-lamp-bit-street-light-for-bbc-micro-bit.html.md))

The LAMP:bit is a bolt-on/clip-on board for the micro:bit that replicates a street light which features a built in phototransistor for autonomous switching.

## Pricing

- **Price:** $11.50 (inc GST) — $10.45 AUD, exc GST
- **Quantity discounts:** 10+ $10.04 (exc GST) · 25+ $9.73 (exc GST)

## Availability & dispatch

- In stock, ships same business day if ordered before 2PM (Australia/Sydney).
- We can dispatch 4 today, and up to 300 more in 8–10 days.

## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=CE06060:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/CE06060:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

The LAMP:bit features connections which allow the [micro:bit](https://core-electronics.com.au/micro-bit-v2-australia.html) to be bolted/clipped directly to it. It has been designed to replicate a streetlight, in form and function. This is a great board for use in transportation projects and has been designed to fit the same aesthetic as the STOP:bit, so that they can be used together in the same projects.

The board also features a phototransistor that can be used to react to changes in ambient light levels, thus switching on and off the white LED autonomously. For timed switching, the project could include the [Kitronik RTC board ](https://core-electronics.com.au/rtc-board-for-the-bbc-micro-bit.html)for a different type of autonomy.

Power is supplied to the board from the micro:bit that is connected to it via the 0V and 3V pins.

**Features**

- Works with both the [micro:bit V1](https://core-electronics.com.au/micro-bit-by-bbc.html) and [micro:bit V2](https://core-electronics.com.au/micro-bit-v2-australia.html)
- The LAMP:bit is an accessory for the BBC micro:bit that replicates a street light.
- It features a built in phototransistor for autonomous switching.
- The micro:bit can bolt-on/clip-on to the board.
- Follows the same aesthetic as the [STOP:bit.](https://core-electronics.com.au/stop-bit-traffic-light-for-bbc-micro-bit.html)
- It can be used in conjunction with the STOP:bit for larger projects.
- We have created custom code blocks for the [MakeCode Editor](https://makecode.microbit.org/) that are available as an Extension to the editor.
- The bottom of the LAMP:bit PCB snaps off to form a stable cross base.

**Contains**

- 1 x LAMP:bit for the BBC micro:bit
- 5 x M3 8mm Countersunk Screws.
- 5 x M3 Hex Full Nut.

**Dimensions**

- Height: 135mm.
- Width: 75mm.
- Base Width: 42mm.
