Since Halloween is fast approaching I thought I'd take a look at two of Poundland's new products. The projector actually costs £5 and the strobe £2. One is not very good and one is very hackable indeed.
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.

Not long until you get to review and break this year's Halloween trash. You need to do the standard overvoltage withstand test – that pattern will be much brighter and faster at 8v.
I have that strobe light
Hey where did you bought this I want to buy my self because I want to get the geared DC motor
@bigclivedotcom – the big trade show for this stuff (costumes, Halloween, and party rental and supplies) is the Halloween & Party Expo, which is ENORMOUS and insane. If you ever find yourself in New Orleans in January… I think you'd enjoy it. (used to work in that industry, ran attractions, sold equipment into the haunt market)
Looks like Poundland have revised the circuit on the strobe. It's now a single chip – a cheap microcontroller, I presume. Less to meddle with 🙁

My dad used a power drill to speed up the turnip carving process.
Just watched this and one year on they have the strobes back in but not the projector, they are listeniing to you Clive!
Anuvver year has come and gone and Hallowe'en is creeping darkly upon us again, like a will o' the wisp under the horned ("hor-ned") moon. How about doing something similar to that ghost detector like what you dun? Kind of like the techy stuff they use on the American ghost tv programmes. Now that would cure my constipation!
no sound
Hi, is there anyway to speed up that strobe?
