Hi everyone this is my first time on the forum. Hope I'm submitting this to the right place.
I have a question about LED lighting.
Bit of background on my project:
I started a little project a while back and build a portable PA system for camping.
It runs off a 2 x 12v 4ah batteries and has a 50watt amp and speaker. I've also installed an ipod charger and 2 usb ports that run from the second battery. I hooked these up using some old cigarette adapters I had at home.
I'm now looking to install some lighting. I've bought 6x1watt LED light. Its a portable working light. Its runs off the mains and I want to convert it to work from 5V usb port if possible (that may seem like a stupid but I have no idea). I have read you can run LED string lights for christmas trees off a usb port.
Is this possible and if not is it possible to run it off the 12v battery directly?
If you need anymore info on anything I'll try find out. But as I said this is my first time on the forum and don't have much electrical experience.
Thanks in advance
