It’s the coolest LED Hanukkah Menorah ever from our buds at Evil Mad Scientist Labs! It’s a soldering kit! It’s USB powered! It’s programmable! It even has a gratuitous red-green blinking mode!
(Ahem.)
Mega Menorah 9000 Features:
Nine bright RGB LEDs that light up in sequence to indicate the night of Hanukkah
Selectable LED color
Two brightness levels
Optional “candle flicker” display mode
A unique “Trompe-l’œil” circuit board design that gives the illusion of a 3D surface, made with the assistance of our StippleGen software. Over 9000 stippled dots of black silkscreen!

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
