Set Up Simple LED-Powered Outdoor Illumination
Ted writes in with the following geeky entertainment hack:
As if it weren’t obvious we love to tinker already, we’re already dreaming up ways to make this simple hack even cooler. He notes in the blog entry that the coin cell battery provides enough juice to light the LED anywhere from a few days to over a week depending on the LED. It seems like a great little improvement to this hack would be the introduction of a cheap push button switch so you could toggle the lights on and off without having to take apart the battery/led circuit. Then again, the point of the hack is to create the illumination with as little effort as possible! Thanks for sharing Ted!
