/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Anyone have experience with these LED strips?

I would like to power just a few lights (maybe 4-6 likely not more than 10) via battery, but I'm not sure how to get it to work as the battery would need to be fairly low profile. I've been trying 2 button cells which I would think should be enough for a few considering you can by prewired strands that way but over lower power LEDs. Thought maybe a few brighter ones would work over many dull ones.

Buy a cheap Kindle Fire, sideload on Google Play, keep the brightness as low as you can, and enjoy. Larger space and lower power cpu/gpu will heat up less and if it kills the battery you are only out a very cheap device or just have to use it only plugged in, which you would be overnight anyway.

Phones despite all their power wanking these days are badly designed. They waste a lot of that power, and struggle with heat because they want to shove something that would be at home in a Chromebook into a palm sized razor thin device that half the time is sealed for waterproofing into a hotbox. The giant resolutions aren't helping either.
