Description: I think the best lesson that can be learned from this cheap USB disco light is the importance of supply rail decoupling in the vicinity of audio circuitry. There's an audio amplitude detector circuit that triggers continually when used on anything other than a perfectly noise free USB power supply. That said, it's a good demonstration of a simple electret microphone based audio detector with a minimalist single transistor amplifier. The lens projects fairly good beams of light from the hard-driven (50mA) LEDs, so it might find use in other projects. The light came from a UK pound-shop called One Below.
