How to power

Post by arcanjl »

I am as noob as it gets.

I am very interested in the:
White LED Backlight Module - Large 45mm x 86mm
PRODUCT ID: 1621

however, have no idea how to power it, or even add a switch if I get crazy. The whole thing needs to be as comapct as possible. Is there a product you can point me to> I found this on amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BF53BMY/re ... rCbJ9HGR78

Would that work?
Sigh.

Thanks for any help!

What do you plan to use it for and how long does it need to run?

Ideally I will have a switch, and it will run for maybe an hour at a time?

It is for a desk frame that I am making to place a small stain glass in.

OK the page says 20ma so 20mah a 250mah battery should give you 10 hours.
