    You can easily control these lights using MakeCode blocks such as:

                             Name                       Icon                             Description

                          How can I make the micro:bit’s LEDs show a custom shape using the “show leds” block?

                     Why Are LEDs Important?

                     The LEDs on the micro:bit are very important
                     because they provide quick and clear visual                   SMART            LEDs use less

                     feedback,  making  it easier  to  understand                  SPARK        power compared to
                     what is happening in a program. This makes                                   traditional bulbs.

                     it  more fun  and easier  to  understand  how
                     coding works.

                     For example, if you wanted to show your name on the micro:bit, the LEDs would
                     light up in a pattern that looks like the letters of your name.
