The Halo has 24 ZIP LEDs, which are individually addressable full-colour LEDs. This means that each LED can display a huge spectrum of colours, allowing amazing colourful effects to be achieved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Halo bolts directly onto the BBC micro:bit using five bolts which are secure and robust. The board also has extension connector pads (0.1” pitch) allowing more ZIP LEDs to be connected. The P1 and P2 micro:bit pins are also broken out to 0.1\" pads along with power and GND. This allows for additional connections to low power components such as sensors and switches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cimg style=\"vertical-align: middle;\" src=\"https:\/\/resources.kitronik.co.uk\/images\/other\/5625-zip-halo-for-the-bbc-microbit-makecode-desktop.jpg\" alt=\"zip halo for the bbc microbit makecode desktop\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Halo takes a supply voltage of 3.5V-5V and provides a regulated power supply to BBC micro:bit.
