Mitch Electronics Traffic Light Project Kit

The Mitch Electronics Traffic Light Project Kit is a hands-on electronics kit that replicates the UK traffic light colour sequence, with a printed circuit board measuring 43 mm by 59 mm.

Designed as a miniature replica of the classic British traffic light system, this kit suits beginners and enthusiasts alike. It can be assembled in under an hour and introduces fundamental soldering techniques and basic circuit construction.

Overview

The circuit is built around a 555 astable oscillator and a 4017 counter integrated circuit. Together these components reproduce the UK traffic light colour sequence of red, red and amber, green, amber and red, offering an educational insight into timing circuits alongside a functional finished model.

Key Features

• Replicates the UK traffic light colour sequence
• Supplied as a complete kit for learning essential soldering skills
