Step 4Modding The Original Light (Adding the Plug and USB)
Adding Power:
If you're using an old cellphone power supply like me , and you WERE CAREFUL during the disassembly you can still use the original plug, with a soldering Iron , or a Heated knife (or even a small drill) make two holes for the AC wires to come into the case, pass the wires and glue the plug together with the rest of the case (I also used some insulating tape since this is the wall side)
Adding USB:
Using the same Heated knife method , open a hole in the side of the case, it should be slightly smaller than the USB female plug (barely fitting)
Revisions:
v2.
+Uses an optional potentiometer that can be seen on one of the pictures
+Has the Instructable Sticker! that just arrived as part of my valentine's day prize! =D Thanks Instructables!
