Our newest version of our very popular Micro USB Lamp Kit allows you to build an economic mains powered lamp that takes power from a standard Micro USB phone charger (available separately). The previous version was built using a breakout board, V2.0 features a board designed specifically for purpose which means that the kit is now much neater and easier to build.

The kit comprises a very bright 1W Power LED which connects (with the cable provided) to a PCB that has a power switch, Micro USB connector and power resistor.

All that is required to assemble the kit is to connect the LED to the desired length of cable and solder the other end of the cable, the resistor, and the switch to the board.

Features:

Easy to build lamp kit.
Ultra-bright 1W Power LED.

Answered by the admin Hi there, Thank you for your question, the USB connector is pre-mounted on the board I am afraid. You could theoretically remove it but it would not be recommended. Best Regards Cullen

Asked by william harding on January 29, 2018 12:00 am

Answered by the admin Hi William, In theory yes you could as long as the potentiometer had a high enough A rating to cope, typically the LED can pull 310mA so it would need to be rated higher than this. However what you would likely find is that it will dim the LED slightly, then just turn it off and wouldn't operate as a normal dimming function as LDs don't dim well.

Hi. I have searched for the cable to accompany this kit but cannot seem to find the right one. Could you give me the code please? Many Thanks.

Answered by the admin Hi Jo, If you are referring to the power cable that is shown in the photo then it is this product, https://www.kitronik.co.uk/2208-5v-1a-micro-usb-uk-mains-wall-power-supply.html. If you mean the cable that connects the power LED star to the board then this is the cable, https://www.kitronik.co.uk/2448-figure-8-speaker-cable-2x-7x018mm-100m-reel.html.
