Lightning is key in photography. I started to do extreme electronics macrophotography using a 4X microscope objective: (blog post), but the photographs had low contrast and shadows. So I created this little USB-C powered LED fixture that fits on top of the microscope objective and illuminates the scene. All files (PCB, 3D housing, BOM) are in the repository files. Feel free to build your own.

Questions
How big is the Microscope lamp pcb PCB?
It measures 34 × 45 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Microscope lamp pcb use?
30 parts, built around the AP5724WG. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the Microscope lamp pcb KiCad files?
From the Halogenek/microscope-lamp repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is src/microscope-lamp-pcb/microscope-lamp-pcb.kicad_pcb and its schematic src/microscope-lamp-pcb/microscope-lamp-pcb.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Microscope lamp pcb design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Halogenek before reusing the design.
