LED lamp fixes
A lightning strike from a recent thunderstorm killed my USB-powered LED lamp I designed in 2005. The PC still works. I haven’t figured out how to get this building grounded, which it probably isn’t, given the number of lightning-damage incidents I’ve had…

This was supposed to be a post about how I got replacement LEDs wired up and the lamp system was working again. Almost, not quite.

a lamp
Since I haven’t yet designed it properly, I may as well make use of this inverter, also known as a ballast, and some compact fluorescent bulbs I bought too long ago.
I’ll use it for lighting things for photoing. I think you know what I’m going to photo, too.
