RGB Mood Lamp Kit with Arduino Uno + LED
Build a Soothing RGB Mood Lamp with Arduino Uno – Smooth Color Cycles at Your Fingertips
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Transform any room into a calming space with a lamp that glides effortlessly through the full colour wheel. By turning a single potentiometer knob, you control a smooth, continuous hue shift—no jarring colour jumps, just soft, flowing transitions. This kit teaches the elegant math of HSV to PWM and the feel of creating light exactly as you imagine.
What You'll Build
You’ll assemble a standalone colour-changing lamp with three RGB LEDs, each driven by Arduino’s PWM pins for true 24-bit mixing. The central knob lets you dial in any shade—gentle sunrise orange, deep ocean blue, or a slow aurora-style sweep when you set the code to auto-cycle. Place it on a desk, nightstand, or shelf and instantly set the mood.
What You'll Learn
- Map a potentiometer’s analog reading to a hue value on a 360° wheel
- Convert HSV (Hue, Saturation, Value) colour space to RGB values for precise colour control
- Use PWM to blend red, green, and blue LEDs into any shade
- Write Arduino code that reads sensors and updates outputs in real time without blocking delays

Who This Kit Is For
This kit fits CBSE Class 9-10 practicals exploring light and colour, ATL Tinkering Lab sessions on analog input, or any young maker building their first interactive art piece. It’s also a favourite for parents and educators introducing the joy of colour mixing and electronics to curious minds aged 10 and above. Whether for a science exhibition or a personalised nightlight, the mood lamp project blends art with engineering.
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 to start a chat with the AI companion trained on this project. It will walk you through wiring, code, and debugging. If you need a human touch, reach out on WhatsApp for a real engineer’s guidance.
Can I change the speed of the colour cycle?
Absolutely. In the Arduino sketch, adjust the delay between hue increments or modify the mapping function. The AI companion can suggest exact lines to change for faster or slower sweeps.
Does this kit include a diffuser or lamp shade?
It does not, but you can easily add one. Place a translucent paper, acrylic sheet, or a 3D-printed cover over the LEDs for a soft, diffuse glow.
Can I add more LEDs for a larger lamp?
Yes, you can wire additional RGB LEDs in parallel with the same current-limiting resistors. Just ensure your power supply can handle the extra current; the 9V battery snap will support a few extra LEDs, but for many more, consider an external adapter.
Potentiometer slowly cycles RGB LED through hue wheel. Smooth colour transitions via HSV to PWM conversion.
