Looks good! On the FAQ, it mentions that power is via a 2.1mm barrel jack, & US adapter is included. Do you have plans for a USB powered version?

We have thought about it, but we would need to either make a smaller version of the lamp or have less LEDs (a compromise we weren't willing to make). We pull close to 2A with the 40 LEDs right now. Most USB supplies and ports output around 0.5-1.0A.

I should also add, that's close to 2A when on full white. Most of the 'moods' on the lamp do not draw anywhere near this.
