Jar of Fireflies!

This is a Jar of Fireflies as described in multiple Instructables and online. They make great wedding gifts, centerpieces, birthday gifts, and Christmas gifts! While other people show you how to create these using vero board or some kind of off the shelf smd protoboard. I took the time to layout a small PCB for an Atmel attiny 85v that comes fully programmed and ready to go. I also believe it will last on a 1Amp hour (cr123a) battery for 6-8 months. Finally, I've become really good at soldering those teeny tiny 0603 LEDs to the 38awg magnet wire and smd components to the board saving you the time and hassle.

The product comes in three versions:

Fully assembled in a mason jar with PCB hot glued and tiny 0603 led's connected and working or
As a fully assembled PCB only. you supply the mason jar, LEDs, and solder them to wires or
As a kit that comes with everything you need except the mason jar - you solder all the parts.

Perfect product - pretty much right on all marks.

Although there is no documentation, none is needed.
The lamps are the right color and brightness, and a good rate of flashing...more than natural, but not "Hollywood". Buy a half-dozen or so, add something leafy, and the effect is pretty damn good.
I have altered mine by adding solar panels and use rechargeable batteries, for a whole summer of fireflies.

I'm so happy you're happy, Paul. I'm adding a v2 to the shop and am now on Etsy thanks to a few encouraging words from customers about branching out. You can find that store here: https://www.etsy.com/shop/ElectricArtCo.
