The Kitronik Deluxe Rear Bike Light Learning Kit is easy to build kit and is an excellent way to learn about the very popular 555 timer IC. The kit uses four ultra-bright LEDs that can be operated in two modes; constant and flashing.

A key design aim of the kit was that it should conform to all relevant British Standard measures. Both the flash rate and brightness conform to British Standards for vehicle road lighting (2005), making it ideal for use as a rear bike light.

During testing, the kit has been connected to 3 x AAA batteries and ran continuously. At 80 hours of continuous use, the LEDs were still lit at full brightness. After 107 hours, although still lit, the brightness had dropped below the level at which you would want to use them.
