Reverse engineering from a picture
This is just a short extra video where I reverse engineered an LED lamp with a new style of current regulator chip.

Not my video - but a good one.
It's clear the guy has had a little drink for courage before the interview.

A neat little LED ornament with non standard LED neon strip.

Neat (and very simple) G40 LED lamps
You see that little resistor in the video thumbnail? That's the bit that seems to fail on these unusual little lamps.

Cost of new filter same as complete unit?
I thought I'd get a proper pleated filter "air purifier" from eBay. It's quite nice in a physical sense, although the circuitry isn't quite perfect.
Sunset projector light
Not as sophisticated as it sounds, but still provides a nice warm wash of light on a wall.

Remote wall switch with lithium button cell
This makes a change from the small 12V batteries. The range was also good and the standby current unmeasurable at less than a microamp.
Spoofing my bro and shameless clickbait
The idea for this video happened during a recent live stream, so since it involved whisky, I thought I'd get the Disney hat on and spoof my brother Ralfy's whisky channel.
Can you guys check my math?
I don't normally compute with numbers of this magnitude, so I'd appreciate it if you guys could double check if I got it right.

This turned out a lot more complex than I was expecting. It isn't just operating as a simple timer, but more as a time accumulator which also responds to the defrost termination thermostat. 2021-04-14 04:07:10 +0000 UTC View Post

This video is not as good as the next two which are currently uploading. If anything I thought the circuitry and current capability was a bit of an anticlimax.
