5 Min USB LED Light

In this Instructable, I made a simple LED light than can be powered from a USB port.

What do you need:

• 1 x LED
• 1 x 100 ohm Resistor
• 1 x USB cable (it does not matter what cable as long as it has a USB plug)
• 1x Ping-Pong Ball
• Hot glue

I cut off the plug and stripped the cables.

We need only red and a black cable. If there are 2 more cables, you can cut them off. They are used for the data.

To make sure the LED does not burn out when connected to a USB port, I soldered a 100 ohm resistor.

I bent the LED, so it would take less space, then I glued it to the plug.

I cut a hole in a ping-pong ball and put it in the USB plug.

A drop of glue was applied, so the ball would not fall off.

That's it!
