Knipperfrotjes!

Knipperfrotjes

A “Knipperfrotje” is a small night light consisting of a few LEDs run by a very basic electronic circuit. Each LED switches off and on at its own interval speed, resulting in enchanting, soothing light effects. I created the very first Knipperfrotje somewhere between 1980 and 1985: since then I have made hundreds of them in many shapes and variants, although in most cases a small glass jar is used as a housing.
Knipperfrotjes are the living proof, that cool electronic products with an extremely long life expectancy, can be made using only very limited materials.
