Put it on your arm and fire it up! Tweak the position of the armature wire and make the individual LEDs to make sure they direct light where you want. I wear them just below the elbow, half way between the inside and side of the arm.

And lastly: Make another one, they work better in pairs. And your second one will go much faster.

Wow, I can really see this being useful for gaming at night. Typing on my Laptop has always been terrible. I've been looking for a way to light my keyboard effectively. Grats on the contest!!

well at night you might want to use red LEDs so they don't mess up your vision. if you want to know what I mean go some place pitch black, wait till you can see without a light then turn on a flash light or something then turn it off. you wont be able to see for a while but with red light it wont mess up this vision.
