Hi Haytham, The LEDS that are used in this kit are these 3597-white-super-flux-5mm-water-clear-led-80deg-1800mcd they are not classed as energy saving but the maximum current that they draw is 20mA each, so the whole circuit only draws 180mA’s, this only works out to be 0.9Watts of power.
Hi Tas, You could run multiple circuits off one 5V power supply. However you would need to connect these in parallel so that each circuit got a supply of 5V’s, and a split of the available current. You would also need to make sure the power supply is rated to a high enough current draw for the amount of circuits you are connecting. Each circuit draws 175mA maximum at 5V’s, so 2 circuit could run off a 5V 500mA supply, 3-5 could run off a 5V 1A supply and so on.
Hi Martin, The desk lamp kit take a power source ranging from 2.5V - 5.5V and at 5V’s it will draw 175mA. It would be difficult to use a super capacitor kit which has been charged by a solar cell. The kit draws a fairly high current, and a super capacitor won’t provide a steady voltage. It is difficult to provide an estimation of how well this would work as I don’t know what capacitor or solar cell you are using. You would likely be better with solar cells and rechargeable batteries.
Hi Anthony, Unfortunately this isn’t a product to purchase, however it is a free resource on how to produce an enclosure for the 5V desk lamp kit. 2155-5v-led-desk-lamp-kit The design files are located to download at the bottom of the article.
The LED’s used on these kits don’t generate any more heat than a standard Led, as such they would be fine in a PVC case.
Yes it you would be able to use an LDR to trigger the circuit, the easiest way to do this would be to use the light activation circuit and connect the 5V desk lamp kit to the output on the board 2112-light-activated-switch
A USB port outputs 5V’s, so yes you could connect the USB lead to this desk lamp kit.
