 INTRODUCTION
• USB is an acronym of Universal Serial Bus. The USB standard was developed to simplify the
connections between a computer and its peripheral. In fact, almost all the external devices like
Keyboard, Mouse, Printer, DVD Writer, Hard Disk Drive, etc. are all being interfaced using the
USB port.
• As this project is based on the USB Port, we are referring only to a generic USB port.
• Now, coming to the project, during low light conditions or power outages, you might not be able
to properly see the keys on the keyboard (not a problem if you have a back-lit keyboard). What
if you can make a small lamp that is powered using USB and can solve this problem. USB LED
Lamp Circuit is a simple solution to this. As the USB port provides 5V at the output, it can be
used to light up the simple LED lamp circuit. Another advantage of this Lamp is that you do not
disturb other with big lamps as all you need is this small USB Powered LED Lamp.

 HOW TO DESIGN THE USB LED LAMP
CIRCUIT?

TAKE A SMALL PIECE OF PERF BOARD AND SOLDER THE MALE USB
CONNECTOR. THEN START SOLDERING THE LEDS AND 100Ω
RESISTORS. SCRAPE THE EDGES TO SMOOTHEN THE PERF BOARD.
HOW TO OPERATE USB LED LAMP CIRCUIT?

• Initially connect the circuit as shown in the circuit diagram.

• Now insert the USB to the port of the computer.
• You can observe the lamp glowing
• Now remove the USB from port.
• Now lamp is switched off.
