Is it possible to power this lamp by connecting it to a computer with a usb to usb cable?

Not possible. Lamp is provided with its own power supply. I don't think the output voltage of the power supply is the same as USB.
1869383
Absolutely not. Just the opposite, the light has USB ports on it. But it requires a house 110v receptacle. BTW, it is a great light.

I don't think so, it is provided with a regular AC adapter and plug so I would say NO to your question. On the other hand I does have the USB port you mention but it is designed per the instructions to be used to charge phones or other similar devices. This is a great lamp, to be used with regular AC power. I highly recommend it.

No. It has a AC adapter. The USB port is just for chairing phones or other USB devices.

Yes you can, if you leave it plugged into the usb port on the computer the lights will stay on unless you turn them off with the function + F5-F6 keys.

I believe that the pin that plugs into the lamp is 4mm. The other end of cable is a standard usb plugin. Hope this helps.

I can't see why you couldn't. The lamp has a standard plug. I leave mine lit all night.

It can, but the Raspberry Pi itself can not offer a reliable source of power for the monitor. So, you will need to connect the USB to either a self-powered USB hub or just a standard USB charger. I just hooked it up to my Raspberry Pi home theater system to test, so you can see for yourself; http://i.imgur.com/CiC708y.jpg

With the USB cable that is included. You can either plug it into your computer or a wall outlet converter (http://www.amazon.com/Wall-Outlet-Converter-Power-Buddy/dp/B00C7GH8UK).

Yes. It has a usb connection for the computer & then just a regular power cable as well.

No, you need the USB. But if you have something that could connect the USB to a outlet you can go that.

No, it plugs into a special element; you would have to buy an adapter for a regular lamp

On the unit is a mini usb with standard usb on the other end that plugs into computer or charging unit. I suspect you could plug into any usb but have not verified wattage needed.

The power connectors on this are specifically intended to be used inside a computer case. It does not have a USB or two/three prong wall plug. The lights take a 4-pin molex connector (like a case-fan). If you got an external adapter to that then this might work with another power source (like USB or a wall plug).

Yes but it's only needed to make the LEDs brighter. USB will power it just fine. Stop debating and buy it; it's awesome.

Yes, it easily hooks up to a laptop and many other devices. Only problem is the lamp isn't very strong so it really has to be pretty dark in the room to use it.

It should work because it plugs into the audio port, not the power port. The lamp functions as a speaker, not a charger.

The actual lamp units are for 12V which is provided by using an included wall plug transformer. I'm not saying that it can't be done but I'd recommend finding another product pre-wired for 120V if you want to directly connect to a wall switch.

Well what you could do is take an old usb cord and a small usb power brick which could work which is what i tried or u could just buy an led power supply but i mean itt can be a hassle

Yes - the instructions that come with the lamp has a specifications box which says:Power - AC/DC adapter: AC 100-240V to DC 12V-@A (or 1.5a)
