  • An easy method for converting those fairy lights that use 3 AA batteries over to a USB power pack. Just 2 small solders and you're in business!

    Thank you! I was about to throw out the whole box until I found this. The batteries kept slipping. Now, I don't need them!

    Thank you so much for this video, very succinct and informative! It's also a great way to re/upcycle old USB cables, god knows I have a whole bag of those!
    Do you know what might happen if I did this to a light that only uses 2 AA? would it go poof? or just shine brighter?

    That’s fantastic from one type of battery to another type of battery. I want to go from a battery to plug in?

    Love this!! Thanks for making it ❤ wondering if I need to do something special if my fairy lights only use 2 batteries? Will they just pull the juice they need? Or might I cause a fire if left unattended?

      Thanks! I use the lights every night on the bar cart I built. They're perfect, soft, ambient lighting. :)

    I know zero about electricity, ohms watt or Volts. If I have a string light that used to AA batteries and has no smart board inside , do I have to use something else soldered between the lights and the USB ? it will be fine plugging it in with a wallcharger from old phone or a powerbank ? This is a nice little project but I dont know the math behind :-(

    How will i connect the string lights directly to the usb cable...
    Without the controller or a circuit board...?

    Im trying to repair 1.25 Dollar tree light. They fell on floor and wire became disengaged from cheap controller. I don't like to throw stuff out. If I super glue wire to little switch will it work, or does it break the contact?

    In the end, will the voltage 5V or 3x1,5V?
