Finally added some more lights to the P1S. Relay controlled from USB-A port.

Trickier than I thought as the original light seems to be controlled by a NPN transistor which threw me off when using the 0V from the USB-A. Feel free to ask if you want to know how to do this yourself without risking burning your board.

Huge upgrade for very little money.

    Oh I totally get it, and probably would’ve gone that route if my DIY skill level was higher. My benefit of maintenance lighting is a lucky accident. 🤣
