I tested three inexpensive, easy methods to add LED lighting to my modular 3D‑printed lantern using USB power: reused LED modules, short 5V strips, and WS2812B RGB with a microcontroller. I share parts lists, soldering tips, diffuser advice, and firmware steps—read on for step‑by‑step instructions and printable models.
