this is what the USB Lamp looked like before it was in an accident .
The alumonum pipe just a scrap chunk from a side job.

Using My handy Battery Drill drilled a 5/16" hole it the side at 3/4" from the bottom.
The Hot glue to the cardstock and a short chunk of PVC pipe to make a bushing to mount the LEDS to .
Insert the grommet through the hole.
Feed the USB cable out the top though the bushing .
Cut off end of cable in this case the miini USB A .
Strip the wires and using a volt meter test out for the "hot wire" and the ground ,on this cable it Was the red and the black
Solder the Red and Black leads to the LEDS ( had it hooked up live to a stand alone USB power supply)
Hot Glue the LEDs to the bushing .
Slide the bushing to maybe a third of the way down the pipe
And more hot Glue to afix the bushing in the pipe

Its Brighter than a 2AA maglight
just enough light to make the Cobalt glass ball glow .
My sis collects Cobalt glass this might be her b-day presents
