How to Light up Happs Trackball

[Poefue]

Hey guys, Looking for any suggestions for how to light up my Happs trackball.  I thought about trying to find a small kind of lamp or mounting a blacklight underneath the CP.  Let me know which route I should go.  Thanks in advance.

Works great for me! 

Runs off 5V line too for easy hookup.

Not as slick as the LightMite but these can work as well for basic illumination:

Are those light mite's extra bright?   I think I still have the stock ones in the Slikstik panel.

I wouldn't call them "extra" bright.  They do use a super bright high flux LED.  They are adequate for a normally lit room.  They include a dimmer as some still find there is too much glare at full power.
I've only had one or two say they weren't bright enough for their taste, likely due to a very brightly lit room or a room that gets direct sunlight.
Keep in mind though you can assemble your own with up to 4 leds in whatever brightness you like.  Also you can get a little more brightness out of them by mounting them directly to the trackball instead of using the pcb mounting foot method.

I think it is more how dull the light that came with the CO2 stock.    I like the apparatus though.  Thanks for the heads up.
