$8 USB LED Strip From eBay Review

I got this USB LED strip to use for my manual pick and place machine for better illumination. I wanted to show it off before I start hacking it up.

Here is the unit for sale on eBay:

I bought some LED light strips on eBay for my TV, and I’m using a USB charger that came with my iPhone. I noticed after about 2 hours, that the charger gets pretty hot. I’m worried this will be a problem. Should I get a different USB charger? If so; what do you recommend? Thanks

For your pick and place I'd use a 5630 3 led module and use a step up converter to 12v 5630 can run off of 3.7v but most strips are made for 12v

Cool review! I have enjoyed a similar red LED light strip I got off eBay.

Quick question for you Mr. Lights MAN: how long will these lights be lit up for on say on a 4.8 output battery pack? I am trying to avoid having USB wires exposed everywhere, into an outlet (want to run these lights under a very small 1 meter long kitchen cabinet) PS - I liked your video, VERY informative.

I want to put this on my bike and power it using a powerbank. How long would it last for?
