Get visual feedback from your Pi!The PiGlow is a small add on board for the Raspberry Pi that provides 18 individually controllable LEDs. You can use it for all sorts of things! And of course, it fits inside a Pibow!There are tons of things you can do with it:

Mood lighting / ambiance

Showing current system load

Notify you of events like mentions in tweets or incoming e-mail

Feedback the status of scripts/daemons running on your Pi

Works great when VESA mounted to provide a cast against a wall

...and pretty much anything else you can think of!

This board uses the SN3218 8-bit 18-channel PWM chip to drive 18 surface mount LEDs. Communication is done via I2C over the GPIO header with a bus address of 0x54 (Python example code provided). Each LED can be set to a PWM value of between 0 and 255. Comes fully assembled and ready to rock.

18 LEDs (three each of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and white)

Great to provide feedback if you're running your Pi headless

PWM (dimming) control for each channel

Fully assembled (no soldering required)

Python code to access and control lighting provided

Lots of example code for Python, Scratch, WiringPi, etc over at the Pimoroni page

Pimoroni PiGlow (3:55)

Snap the Pimoroni Unicorn Hat on top of a Raspberry Pi model A+ or a model B+ for a fun 8x8 RGB LED matrix powered directly from the Pi.

Unicorn HAT provides a wash of controllable color that is ideal for mood-lighting, 8x8 pixel art, persistence of vision effects, status indications, or just blasting colour into your surroundings.

64 RGB LEDs (WS2812B) each wtih 24-bit RGB color

Python API (NeoPixel compatible!)

EEPROM with Raspberry Pi HAT configuration details

LED data driven via DMA over PWM Pin #18

This is a heavy duty SPST toggle switch - your basic on/off toggle. Rated for 2A at 250V or 4A at 125V. Includes a face plate and two threaded nuts for mounting. Works great with our missile switch cover.
