im trying to gather everything i need for materials for a photo exhibit and im looking for those little lights, like a snake light i guess? everytime i search for it i get USB snake lights but i need somethin that just sticks or mounts to a wall, a cheap one cuz ill need many of them…
kinda like this, where the light hangs over the photo and lights it up, more gallery like when its lit
ive tried ebay, BBandB, etc, nothin so far really just seeing if anyone can help

were you trying to post a photo? if so, i can’t see it.
EDIT: yes, i know you can see it. it’s in your cache. you need to probably rehost it somewhere.
attached it, i dunno y it wasnt showin up
Just go to Home Depot and see what there is. There are PLENTY of lights like that. Even if you just take the base off of a desk lamp.
that is an awesome drawing lol
…they make these for desks… where the actual “post” is flexible, is that what you mean?
ikea, srsly

If it was me, I would try to buy a bulk of the desk lamp ones and mount them to the wall…
a desk lamp i think would have to huge of a base… these would be for 11x14 sized frames… i saw them that were lighting up pix inside best buy but they dont sell them obv and had no idea where they got them

DEF ikea.
i have 2 of EXACTLY what you posted…
oye, i need a LOT of them… i saw like $4 USB ones, i wish they had those but just powered by a battery

get the USB ones and hook up a battery…
USB 2.0 is 5v with a supply of 500mA
god those battery ones are so ugly, but i like the USB versions
newman , that is easy to do?
um, it’s not terribly hard…
but you will wind up paying a bunch for batteries…
50 of em
micah what’s your budget?
Its two wires and 12v power line that has a ground. Its pretty simple since you are not interfacing with the actual USB host on a PC.
Easiest one IMO. http://64.233.169.104/search?q=cache:KhBRD_K0RxYJ:www.hackaday.com/2005/01/28/how-to-usb-battery-v2/+usb+battery&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=7&gl=us
