This is a small desktop USB powered LED Menorah. There are lots of desktop Christmas decorations and gadgets, but few if any Channakah decorations. This is a simple low-cost LED array powered by standard USB port.

Step 1Materials

You will need.
-9 LEDs (~$2)
-soldering iron
-solder
-USB pigtail cable (~$2)
-6" hookup wire
-pliers

LEDs can be assorted colors or all the same color, you decide. You can get LEDs from almost any electronic store like Radio Shack or online. Colors are a personal preference and dont really matter. I had some spare ones laying around, but next time I think I will use these cool Purple LEDs from Allied Electronics.
