Everything went wrong in this video. It was one of those simple reverse engineering things where nothing is as expected and things don't behave as they should. And it did turn out to be due to my ham fisted destruction.
If you enjoy these videos you can help support the channel with a dollar for coffee, cookies and random gadgets for disassembly at:-

This also keeps the channel independent of YouTube's advertising algorithms allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty.

    I figured you make sure it worked before put it on video. That's what I do. But you are on the fly I guess.

    Well Clive me ol’ mate the error videos are massively interesting (to me at least) as seeing problem solving is very helpful and if not now then in the future for this novice!

    Can you please provide some keywords or possibly a link to that exact bulb?

    I'm happy if things go horribly wrong 😉

    I think these lamps are ideal in a camping environment, you can use them even with a half dead battery without turning the engine on.

    Buck regulators – is that what you need when wolves are history?

    Constant power driver for the win 🙂 Also known as negative resistance in more polite circles. 🤔

    Loved it. I like the ones that don't come out quite as you expected. It's life and shows your living it.

    Do they make these in B22 fitting? I have some ideas. (some googling did show that canal boats often use 12v b22 bulbs so maybe i should go to a chandlery)

    Great save! Always wanted to know what was in these bad boys.

    It's amazing at the values these companies use when compared to the app notes. Considering they are made of Chinesium, I suspect most of the parts are floor sweepings from the popup Shenzhen mfg rooms.

    Clive, your statement brought a song by Del Amitri back to my mind, which i have been listening to a bunch of years ago. "And nothing ever happens, nothing happens at all; the needle returns to the start of the song, and we all sing along like before"

    Holy crap, I have that same "shitty meter". It was a gift from a family member so I can't just toss it. I keep it on my bench in case they come around while I'm piddling. It does a reasonable job of testing transistors, diodes and resistors. Works okay for a quick "is there power?" check.

    sorry cant understand the language

    I will be using the lamp at 5v with a USB power supply 🙂
