## 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.
