The USB Stud Light

Step 2Putting it together.

Putting it together.
Now what you must do is put it all together.

First clip off some of the excess on leads on the LED, leaving about 1.25 cm on the longer and 0.5cm on the shorter leads, then bend the anode, as shown in one of the images below, and rest it so that the LED's head is on the little curved tab where the cable would normally be, and with the lead lying in the groove of the positive output of the USB plug (1). You can tell which one you have placed it in by looking at one of the images below.
Solder it in place.

Next, trim both of the resistor's leads to around 0.5cm. Solder one end to the groove connected to #4, and the other end to the remaning lead on LED.

Almost done.
