If you want to go usb, I picked up a couple of these USB snake lights for dirt cheap and used them. They're very bright and pretty much the easiest thing you can do to light a trackball. Although, hooking up 12v isn't terribly difficult either. |

the light bulb isalready attached under the trackball, it's not connected to a power source as far as I can tell |
| surface tension:
I'm not aware of any official Happ illuminated trackballs, so where did the illumination kit come from... or is it really just a bulb poking through the hole? Did it not come with instructions? By far the cheapest and easiest way to illuminate Happ trackballs is an LED and a resistor, connected to the 5V on the control board. |

12v AC Adapater, 5v USB power isnt good enough to shine through a ball, I tried it |
