It's only recently that I took a look at a head torch that used a similar system. I guess that with directly soldered flip chip LEDs it makes sense to integrate everything onto one panel.
As before, they've used a very low value resistor, so I'd recommend using this light with rechargeable NiMh cells.
This light came from an independent pound shop in Glasgow, Scotland (Opposite McDonalds on Sauchiehall St), but I'd guess they are going to be a common online item.
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 have one of these. Really like it. I’d buy more (for gifts etc.), but can’t find them anymore. Has anyone seen them for sale on line?
No
Would love to see you do more videos regarding high-quality low priced flashlights. Like the Astrolux and convoy available on Banggood.
Specifically the convoy C8, m3, and I really love the Astrolux FT03 which I got from Banggood today for $35 shipped on a flash deal!!! which includes a high-capacity high drain good quality 26650 rechargeable battery!
That’s 4300 lumens out of the beautiful Cree LED in a incredibly made light with built-in charging, and protection… All for under $35! It’s literally nicer and better made than some of the $250 lights I’v owned
that one's a level above the one I have from the Dollar Tree, with it's magnet and 2 add'l modes.
these things all suffer from a weak switch and battery contacts that fatigue and break off. but what do you get for 0.99 or 1.99 at dollar stores?
haha. I have exactly have 1 of these. When he show sos mode, I get mine and try it, however, it's doesn't have sos mode.
newbie im electrical and electronics..i could not even repair one
Always though if it’s worth spending the extra money on something like a Unilite when you have stuff like this!
Current vs operating voltage? Cutoff voltage? (there is -12 (v?) marked on the board.
I'd be curious to see you test this cob a little further to see what kind of voltage range it can tolerate. Would it run tolerably off a single Lithium cell? I have some good Lithium cells that would fit in one of those rather nicely.
But..will this grow me proper herbs?
Surprisingly enough they make very nice flashlights. I'm a mechanic and i have 4 lights with cob sections that are about 6 inches long. They come in quite handy with magnets on the back and removable magnetic bases as well. They are especially useful while in the bowels of any Fiat/Chrysler product these days.
more than enough room for a AA.
Anyone else get a led torch ad
Clive when you going to take us to explore pound land/pound world!
Also I’ve seen the cheapo t6 flashlights with cob mode wonder if it’s a standard now real cheap for a 4 pack with free q5 has a rechargeable battery for about $10
