Teardown of yet another slightly dangerous Chinese LED lamp.

1 decades of videos and still amazing videos to watch 😊 good electronics memories

I've bought cheap chinese led automotive bulbs thinking they were a steal when they usually turn out to be garbage. I had led bulbs that were white and turned brown at the diodes from heat, and damaged the light housing. Others function when they feel like it, and keep flickering.

Big Clive does the UK have something like. U L ,that checks out anything electrical to make sure its safe ,like our products of that type will have a U L seal on the box .I don't no if the U L seal on stuff direct from China ,I need to check .but I guess sometime we have to watch out for,ourselves, or if we our very lucky ,we have your reviews ,to help us and your reviews do help us ,except when their is a country difference, like 110 volt versus 220 volt,I think the 220/volt system is better,that why we use it on things like air conditioners.

Beware Google translation incoming I know, old video, but I'm too curious (or too dumb). You mentioned in that video and many others that there really is no contradiction between the mains and the person touching the LED's . But you also said there is 3 volts across one LED. So if I touch the front do I get a full 240 volt shock or does it depend on how many of the terminals I touch, or between specific terminals?

[@bigclivedotcom]

If you are grounded then the LEDs will all be referenced to the full mains voltage.

@@bigclivedotcom thanks for the answer.

How would a Chinese manufacturer modify this design to make it "Safe" TM? I gather the main issue is the wire-on top going into the LED directly connects to the end that goes into the outlet. So if you weren't grounded and touched it, you'd have a chance of being shocked or jolted. It I presume wouldn't kill you but sting like a bugger. So what would you need to do to resolve this? Coat the metal open connection in a piece of non-conducting rubber/plastic/something like that which is heat resistant?

Put a glass bulb over.

i have no difficulty seeing all the details in 480p perhaps i can try 720p but my opendott tab become laggy that way , 8" screen , still no difficulty to see the details. ☺

A+++++ great stuff

Clive got an haircut!

+bigclivedotcom What do you think of your little microscope?

[@bigclivedotcom]

It's OK. There are quite a few on eBay. The lighting angle can sometimes be quite critical for some markings to show up.

[@questioneverything6860]

Thanks for your reply.

In the EU evryting is tested before it Can be sold

If any of that LEDs would fail then the elctrolitic would explode. Lame design.

[@danya023]

dsfasdfSDSF Well, at least it indicates that there's a problem. For instance, I had a power supply that shorted internally, but the way I found out was that the breaker popped and I could smell freshly baked electrolyte. Maybe that's what they're doing here?..

[@MathTutorVideos]

Is that a fire risk though Dayna/dsfassdf when the electrolitic explodes and you smell baked electrolyte?
