GikfunLight Up Glasses Soldering Practice Kit Sound Activated LED Eyeglasses DIY Electronics Kit for School Learning Project EK1972

Instructions were clear and found it relaxing to build. Light adjust to sound which is pretty cool

I didn't realize this when I bought the glasses that thhis is something you will need to sauter the LEDs on yourself. Considering I don't have a sautering gun, and cannot read an electrical circuit map, this is a bit of a bummer, because the video of the product actually looked pretty cool to use at a club or party. Regardless, I would definitely be happy to use it (and figure out a circuit board) if I had a sauter. Overall, it's an interesting product to purchase if you know elctronics!

I got this kit so m y son can experiment with electronic. Electronic is still a hobby, and that is a cool activity with my kids, and this kit looks fabulous for that as it becomes a (fragile) toy.The instructions are OK, but you need some basic knowledge. As long as you know how to place electronic components and solder them, you should be fine. I recommended a temperature controlled soldering iron, and a cleaning sponge. Regular uncontrolled iron will work, but won't give the best experience.For those lacking experience, a URL is provided with clear pictures, but everything is written in Chinese, and worse, the text is in the pictures, so you cannot translate using Chrome browser, you need to use Google Lens to take a picture of the screen. You can still follow the images, but this reduces the fun factor.We started assembling it yesterday, and my 10-years-old boy enjoyed it as much as doing Legos.

Soldering is one of those skills that you can only get good at with practice… and lots of it!Foreword:In the pictures, I installed the switch on the wrong side…oops! If mounted correctly, the switch will not be flush with the PCB and has to be raised a bit to clear the opening in the glasses.Review:This kit took me (at an intermediate skill level) about 2 hours total to solder. I have lots of experience soldering wires together but am only just now getting into PCB work. I took my time and tried to get all the components mounted flush and perpendicular to the board. I did it in two sittings over one day because it is very relaxing, fun, and addicting to solder.I think for a beginner this kit is adequate since you need to solder the same components, allowing one to explore a bit with different ways to approach it. I treated it more like an exercise to hone my skills since I have limited experience with PCB soldering.The instructions are easy to follow and the diagrams are helpful…BUT the step for soldering the potentiometer was skipped (solder it right after or right before the KA2284). I didn’t read the instructions, but I soldered in the same order (taller components last).All components were present…but I ended up with an extra ceramic capacitor, an extra resistor, an extra screw, and 5 extra LEDs.One of the posts for mounting the PCB was not pre-drilled, not a big issue but it can definitely be confusing for a novice.The glasses worked flawlessly after I made them, the potentiometer works fine, and all the LEDs work.Summary:Whether you’re just starting off, or you’re looking to practice, this kit is a great way to get better at soldering and build confidence for more difficult solder jobs. Don’t forget a solder sucker in case you make a mistake and two A23 batteries to power the glasses!

I saw the same item being sold on amazon with batteries for 1 cent cheaper. Buy them from the other vendors. They even came with better instructions with pictures.
