Hi, how do i build a flexible led light to connect to a stereo or phono jack to plug in to my laptops microphone jack.
thanks.

wanna do something like a disco light ?

If ure using it with a laptop then all u need to do is go buy a laptop LED light that plugs into the USB port. I bought 1 that clips on to the screen with 4 white LEDs. Very, Very bright can work at night without lights. N it only cost me like rm10.

I ran out of usb port liao

there is always USB hubs... they they come pretty good looking and cheap.

use a usb hub to get more usb ports

already use a usb hub, stupid dell lappie only got 2 usb port, one use for external dvd writer, one with hub with wireless mouse, usb keyboard, card reader, printer.
so all used up already.

buy another hub and join with the other hub lol...

i've already asked, was not advisable

get another hub that comes with an adapter, it supplies extra voltage to the hub,

i think its not adivisable, because afraid ur USB devices might run low on VOLTAGE. so.. i think the hub with the dc adaptor is worth getting,

GOOD LUCK

what are the lights for? your keyboard or just to light up the other components?

for keyboard

wait the light is for the usb kb or just for the lappie kb? if that is the case. its better that you unplug the wireless kb when u're using the lappie kb then plug back the wireless kb when you need to go the distance

light for the usb keyboard. i'm eccentric. i don't like the lappie kb.
i work in a mostly dim environment, about 2 feet away from my lappie screen.

honest opinion? desk lamp la.. get those cheap ones which are not too bright but sufficient lighting fir kb usage. drawing too much power from the usb is a bad idea.

or you can just unplug the card reader since you're not reading from your cards all the time. its plug and play summore so not much problem

You want to power those LEDs from Mic socket? How?

play a loop if loud and high frequency noise...but i doubt how much the max output of a mic jack is

mic detects sounds la. not produce sound.

threadstarter, you can try to look for those kb with el lights on the button. such as logitech g15 or saitek ones(forgot wat model) both would suit your need nicely.

some recommendation here......

modify ur kbla.... buy a usb led light n solder it to ur kb... everything done

get usb extension cable also can wat. rm20 and below for 4 feet. sufficient
