Livarno LED lamp tear down and schematic (

[@englishrupe01]

Nice to see you back again, Martyn. House moving can be exhausting, so thanks for giving us your time again. Interesting teardown, even though it's pretty basic. I think i would have kept it just for the power supply, though. Thanks.

Having moved all my electronics hoard across the country, I'm trying really hard not to collect more stuff!

Do the leds perhaps have built in control chips/resistors like in led strips? Just a thought! Welcome back btw!

[@MartynDavies]

Maybe they do.... I should have measured the current through the chips. I find it interesting that the PSU voltage drops from 21V to 16 under load.

[@gartmorn]

@@MartynDavies It sounds like an unregulated supply. I suppose you could run it from your own power supply and see if lowering the voltage dimmed the leds which would let you know if they had a driver chip built in!
