DIY portable LED Light Panel: Light up Your Room under a Tight Budget

Were you ever caught in the dilemma where you wanted to add additional lighting to your room but at the same time, didn’t want to spend money on lamps that might cost you $50 dollars or more? We came across this cool and practical video shared by one of the brilliant fellow makers that teaches you how to make a portable LED light panel with materials you can easily get.

In the video, our brilliant maker Will puts an old container lid and a cheap white LED strip (costs him only 7 bucks on Amazon http://amzn.to/1U5WP40) together. Then uses some wires and an old battery from his go kart to power the LED light panel on. In order to hang the panel up, Will screw it onto a tripod so the whole design becomes a light-weight and portable DIY lamp.

Take a look at the step-by-step instruction in the video below and see if you can make yourself a portable LED lamp. What’s best is that Will generously provides suggestions on what materials to get and where to get it.
