Giant LED

It's a giant LED, big and bright, what's not to love, it's great.

I tried powering it with 5V, it works fine.

Light up someone's day.

After giving two of these away to friends, I finally, despite a tremendous attempt at willpower, ordered one for myself. Resistance was futile.
These are gorgeous and satisfying and worth every penny. Please make a 4 lead RGB version!

Amazing attention to detail

I love how much attention to detail went into making this. It works great and I'm excited to make a 10× sized housing for mine.

What it says on the tin: a realistic Giant LED

I bought one of the first batch, which was at a discount due to "slight defects", and am really impressed by the quality. On my specific one, only the the bottom of the main bulb isn't perfect if you look closely. The other surfaces and the overall look are spot on. Really fun novelty item!

Because of the size, the resin dome is quite heavy, so if you plan on mounting it on something moving/vibrating I'd suggest either not mounting it only on the ends of the legs or planning some kind of reinforcement.

Shipping and communication with the seller were without problems too. Prompt response to questions, prompt shipping, sturdy packaging.

Excellent Solder Badges

For I Can Solder Badge v1

These badges are perfect to use as an introduction to soldering with elementary-aged students. We use them to teach 5th graders how to solder before they use the skills to build a remote control box for their ROVs. The cost is reasonable, and buying in bulk gives you a discount. The items are always shipped quickly and I have never had a defective piece. We've been using these for several years now, and highly recommend them.

Great beginning Solder project!

For I Can Solder Badge v1

This is a quick and easy project for beginners and those that have NEVER soldered before. It's hard to mess up and it's only 5 solder points. We use this to teach small kids (6, 7, 8 year olds) how to solder. It's a great beginning solder project! Highly recommend.

I love it!!!

For I Can Solder Badge v1

This little badge attracts the attention of many of my customers, and it helps me get a lot of extra jobs in!! Wonderful idea, very aesthetic, and was fun to put together. 10/10

I am very happy with my order.

For I Can Solder Badge v1

The badges came on time. They where as advertised. I am very pleased with my order. I plan to buy more badges from this seller. I am using them to learn how to solder and for the colorful LEDs.

I can solder badge

For I Can Solder Badge v1

This was a very nice project, we used it at a girl scout makerfair. It took around 15 minutes for a novice to complete and we had mostly 10-12 year olds completing the badge and they loved it.

Tony | May 9, 2018

Excellent.

For I Can Solder Badge v1

Students loved making them. Video was good. They arrived very quickly. Very good value for money. Would definitely use again.

Mike | April 2, 2018

Could not be happier.

For I Can Solder Badge v1

The kit is straightforward. and easy to teach. I bought them as a fun final project for a soldering lesson. It is something fun to show I can do this. thank you

Awesome kit, stellar price

For I Can Solder Badge v1

We are a public library that bought these kits to use for public soldering classes. We couldn't believe the amazing price and they look great when soldered up. The color-changing LED is even nicer than some others I've seen- it cycles at multiple speeds, fades, and does intermediate colors as well as R/G/B- folks are very impressed. Being able to attach the pin post with solder is a nice touch too. Highly recommended.

Amazing new badge

For I Can Solder Badge v1

I bought this product to test my solder skills and it's a great thing to add on my laptop bag. A cool badge indeed. The product arrived very fast and the instructions are pretty clear. I recommend it!

Fun litte project for the grand daughters

For I Can Solder Badge v1

Spent a few hours teaching them to solder and this was the icing on the cake. We need more simple projects for quick rewards for kids.

Cristina | July 22, 2017

Lovely badges

For I Can Solder Badge v1

I find the badges perfect for a short activities or a stand to present our makerspace. My 10 years old child was able to solder the components so you can definitely propose it to a large public.

Katrina | June 16, 2017

Just received! They look awesome!

For I Can Solder Badge v1

We've been teaching teens how to solder for a few months now. It's challenging to find supplies of simple kits online, and the market is dominated by two big companies. So when we went to restock, the prices were quite a lot higher, because you could no longer buy big lots, but had to buy the smaller unit price.

We found this item by doing a more detailed search. We were happy to support someone who seems not to be in it to make a big buck out of teaching kids a useful skill. As a public library we don't charge our kids for the kits, so these kits will help many more kids learn! And they are really nicely designed!

I hope to follow up with feedback on performance once we use the kits. Probably won't be until fall. Thank you!

A bit hit!

For I Can Solder Badge v1

We ordered 160 of these for our Remake Learning Days event. We had over 100 students and individuals attend our event and these little badges were a big hit. Everyone could not wait to make their own badge. Communication with Robert was quick. I messaged the seller before we purchased the badges due to there not being enough available online for our event. Robert restocked the online ordering and we were set.

Campbell | May 18, 2017

Great Product. They all worked,

For I Can Solder Badge v1

made it from Ireland to the US in under 5 days. We used them for learn to solder workshops. The multicolor LEDs were showing up on T-shirts all day around the event.
The owner answered my questions (about inventory and shipping schedule) very quickly despite the time difference.
This is a very reasonably priced product - esp when you are ordering in bulk (we ordered 175 and had them here in 5 days).
No documentarian comes with it, but can easily be found on the internet on his site.

Awesome Teaching Tool

For I Can Solder Badge v1

A Google search to find a cost effective way to teach 5th and 6th-grade students how to solder brought me to theTindie website. The "I Can Solder" pins are less expensive than those featured in the United States. The pins were initially out of stock but the website was equipped with a form that would advise the reader when they were back in stock. Not too long after I filled out the form I did receive an email that the pins were back in stock. The more you bought, the cheaper the pin. I was concerned about the shipping cost since the items came all the way from Ireland but it was still less expensive than the US equivalent.
My school was hosting a family MakerNight and it would have been ideal to have the pins for the event. I had no hope of receiving them in time, but, alas, the first batch arrived that very day. The website video gave a stellar demo and many students were able to experience the magic of soldering and walk away with a light-up "I can solder" pin. They were a highlight of the evening!

great beginner kit

For I Can Solder Badge v1

Using this for a science club - reasonable price for a great intro to soldering class. Fast delivery

Bernie | May 25, 2015

Quick, simple purchase for a fun little product. Thanks!

For I Can Solder Badge v1

Would definitely buy again. We were looking for a non-gendered, simple "blinkie" project for use with both youth and adults. Our first try-out was with a workshop of post-secondary fashion design educators' conference. We walked them through a human-centered design process using the badge as the "technology & display". A happy discovery along the way was that you can assemble the components without soldering and it will still flash. That made the technology even more accessible to first time users. Thank-you

Ginny | April 23, 2015

WOW! Awesome product and service!

For I Can Solder Badge v1

Great product! Super fast shipping. Very pleasant to deal with. Love the badges! High quality. Would definitely buy from again.

Teaching Kids to Solder

For I Can Solder Badge v1

I bought these badges as a way to teach my students (and myself) how to solder. We are running a new STEM program at my school, and this was a great introduction to soldering! I love the badges. The kids watched intently as we made some by example. The video exemplar provided all we needed to make our badges and make them well. I have begun a new skill, as have my students. Thank you for this wonderfully interactive product!

Lavon | Jan. 28, 2015

Spectacular I Can Solder Badge

For I Can Solder Badge v1

Great communication as I asked a few questions before purchase. LIGHTNING FAST shipping to New Jersey, USA! SOLID product that will be able to withstand beginner soldering students from 'burning' the PCB. A really great practice peace for beginner and just what I needed. Will be ordering plenty more soon as needed.

Fantastic!

For I Can Solder Badge v1

Love, love, love the "I Can Solder Bade v1"! They were the perfect soldering intro project for my 8th grade classes. They loved their finished buttons so much many wore them to a concert they performed in later in the evening. Thank you so much for making these available. Shipping was fast and efficient. We will be return customers!

Fires up the curiosity with kids.
