Bedtime Story Timer Light Kit with Arduino Uno + LED
Bedtime Story Timer Light Kit with Arduino Uno – Soothing Sleep Signal for Children
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Imagine a soft, warm light that slowly fades over half an hour, gently signaling to your child that it’s time to sleep. With this kit, you’ll build exactly that — a programmable bedtime timer that transforms a simple button press into a calming 30-minute light show, using a real Arduino Uno microcontroller. It’s the perfect first project for parents and children to explore electronics together, combining storytelling and sleep routines with hands-on learning.
What You'll Build
You’ll assemble a circuit with five warm white LEDs that start glowing the moment a button is pressed. Over the next thirty minutes, the LEDs gradually dim to complete darkness, creating a non-intrusive sleep cue that feels as gentle as a story coming to an end. This is not a toy — it’s a functional piece of home automation you can proudly place in any child’s bedroom.
What You'll Learn
- How to program an Arduino Uno to count time and control multiple LEDs
- The basics of PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) for smooth LED fading
- Wiring a breadboard circuit with resistors, a tactile button, and multiple LED outputs
- How a single button press can trigger a precise 30-minute timer sequence

Who This Kit Is For
Designed for curious young minds aged 5 to 15, this kit is ideal for parents guiding a first electronics project, ATL Tinkering Lab students, and CBSE science enthusiasts exploring programming. It’s also a creative gift for children who love bedtime stories and want to build something that makes their room cozier. With safe, low-voltage components, it’s ready for bedroom use from day one.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Scan the QR code on the box to chat with our AI companion, trained on this exact kit. You can also message us on WhatsApp for one-on-one help — we’ll have you building again in minutes.
Do I need any prior programming experience?
Not at all. The kit includes a pre-written, well-commented code that you upload to the Arduino with one click. We explain every line so your child understands what’s happening, but no prior coding is needed.
Can the timer duration be changed?
Yes! Once you understand the code, you can easily adjust the fading time from a few minutes to over an hour. It’s a wonderful way to experiment and make the project your own.
Is this safe to leave running in a child’s room?
Absolutely. The circuit runs on a 9V battery and uses low-current warm white LEDs — no sharp heat, no mains voltage. It’s designed for safe, unattended nighttime use.
LED slowly dims over 30 minutes after button press to signal sleep time to children.
