the UV lamp is often bought/used by plant enthusiasts, the plug with the exposed leads are there so you can wire it to the ceiling light circuit. there are also father-father plugs for the 3 exposed AC leads), so you can daisy chain them.

When I bought my previous house, the previous owners was "plant enthusiasts" that had UV Lamps...but you was allowed to block the 3 exposed AC leads.

[@Rafael_Fuchs]

@@viktorpettersson9975 It's only lethal if you buy incomplete kits (like they did). Complete sets come with all the caps, connectors, and extenders you'd ever need for installing a proper setup. Wish just wants to make a quick buck. Lol

Those strip lights normally come with a rubber plug to cover the other end. The bare pigtails are for hardwire to a box. The normal plugs are obvious for a regular outlet. There is a double end plug sometimes sold separately that you can string multiple lights together. That's not normal to leave the socket exposed.

[@thelegendaryklobb2879]

I laughed so hard at that part from how they were freaking out! I have 2 of those strips installed in my kitchen and still going strong after 5 years. Of course, the bare ends are covered by a rubber plug that you only remove if you want to connect multiple units in line. It's a clever modular design.

[@Niosus]

@@thelegendaryklobb2879 just because it works doesn't make it acceptable. All those certifying authority logos you see on proper electric appliances are there to show that stuff like this is not an issue in whatever product you bought. They go way beyond "if you do it right, it's safe". It is important to ensure that even if people do things wrong, or something fails, that the appliance will still fail safely. Many appliances will make their outer casing grounded. No matter what happens, through bad installation or damaged insulation or whatever, if live AC voltage manages to make it to the outer casing, it will immediately short to ground preventing electrocution and tripping the breaker. Other devices where that is not possible or desired usually have double insulation: there are at least two barriers of insulation between the outside and the live voltage inside. Even if one of them is compromised, the other should still protect you. And those are just some of the basics that are usually required to sell anything in Western countries. There are a massive amount of rules covering electrical safety, often written in blood. Having a removable rubber plug is absolutely not good enough.

I love wish. Apart from wishing you never purchased anything from them, it's really exciting to order something and have that same wonder of a childhood memories of Christmas excitement wondering what you're going to get. Is it a pet dog? Is it a new computer console? no, it's a calculator that blows bubbles that doubles as a foot scrubber. Thanks wish, just what I didn't order. I love it. The amount of fun you can have with a few dollars on wish is amazing. I can only imagine it's what blind people feel like when they leave the dollar tree stores.

"This is clearly CnC machined" says Alex, looking at a clearly folded sheet metal part. I assume that was just a terminology brainfart. Also those UV light fixtures are fucking terrifying. Just, exposed pins that are live at mains voltage? That HAS to violate all sorts of electrical safety standards. That's AWFUL. All that would need to happen is one hand touches the exposed live pin while the other hand/arm or legs were referenced to ground somehow and that could actually kill someone.

[@meistaaaa]

Cnc isn't limited to milling or turning. I'm sure he meant a CNC plasma cutter for the shape or even CNC bending machines for the folded stuff

[@Paxmax]

I interpreted it as sarcastic because it was so far off the mark unlike a part machined out of a solid chunk.

The only thing I've really gotten from this video is the idea to use a bong as a water reservoir, thanks Alex! Very cool!

[@crystal_reverie]

24:36 All LED tub light come like that. Those things are usually for house lighting where you won't be able to touch them. also there should be a cover for connector.

[@Gigawipf]

Normally they have a female connector on one end you can't touch directly as the output.

[@falconJB]

Yeah, they usually have caps to put over the live ends and the bare wire ends are to wire them into your houses electrical not to connect them together.

[@magnusvaudane9450]

As soon as I saw that UV stick, my first thought was that theres no way proper limits are being adhered to and it's going to be lethal to your eyes. Shame you didn't measure the actual output of it!

[@SianaGearz]

That's impossible. You need quartz tube lights to make UVC, these are just plastic covered LEDs. They only really top out at relatively safe UVA for fundamental material reasons. Like I'm sure they're just 405-410nm, because that's just cheaper and actually works. You can make 360nm but that already pretty much eats the cover while still not being a hazard. Obviously the fixture has other more banal ways of murdering you.

[@WeirdSatay]

It's long wave UV which is just black light. The dangerous ones is the short wave UV but it'll be quite expensive and comes in fluorescent tube instead of leds.

[@Mtaalas]

Electronics designer here, after you've washed the PCB with isopropyl alcohol, you HAVE TO use paper towels (lint free if possible) to wick the alcohol off the board. If you just let it evaporate, it'll leave all that crap that was suspended by the alcohol on the board, EVERYWHERE. by washing the board, and then wicking the alcohol off, you pull out also all the stuff that was suspended in the alcohol and you'll end up with a clean PCB. This is obviously unless you have some pressure washing system that washes the pcb and doens't leave any residue suspended and it'll instead washes away to a tank or through filters etc.

[@Euronjuusto999]

Would a dishwasher have worked? Not too hot and no soap

[@Mtaalas]

@@Euronjuusto999 water is not recommended for electronics because of corrosion risk. There exists different cleaning solutions especially for PCB's because some fluxes and other stuff used when manufacturing are not so keen to dissolve just with isopropyl alcohol and acetone etc. can be too aggressive and dissolve some plastics that electronics components are full of.

[@aserta]

20:00 here's the rub, when you do that, you fuck up the pass through, so never do that to a proper board of any kind where the holes are copper/gold plated, because those are ground planes passing from one side to the other of the board. Threading shreds them apart, because coating isn't thick. One of the reasons why i absolutely loved the 90's when tech wasn't as good (in coating said holes) and some manufacturers used copper pass-through eyelets, making for some super tough mounting points on boards. Mostly low run stuff, and heavy duty military gear had those. A shame this isn't used today, i'd pay more for genuine copper eyelet mounting holes rather than those super thin coatings.
