Whether from your computer, laptop, gaming system, or even digital satellite box, USB's 5-volt output is useful for powering and charging external devices. Cold cathode lighting is one such option. Typically smaller in form factor, these small lights are ideal for illuminating a laptop keyboard or equipment rack.
