Just for fun I ordered a couple of very cheap LED floodlights from China on ebay. They cost less than £3 ($4.80) and were rated at 10W.
As regular viewers of this channel know, this doesn't always mean 10W power output. I've had others that had a 3W lamp power supply driving a 3x3 9-12V LED.
These ones were different.... They have the full 10W supply running the LEDs 9 chips in series at around 30V.
The cold white unit was cold white, the warm white was a nice golden warm white. Neither was earthed quite right, but easily fixable to you and me.
In other words... They're surprising little lights. But does the size really have the ability to dissipate the ten watts of heat? I guess there's only one way to find out...
Here's the ebay listing I bought them from.
Note that sometimes the price gets put up when I link to a product and it is popular. It's worth shopping around if it looks like they have hiked the price.

I was Thinking of chucking a warm white one like this, into the rear 4wd bumper, to flick on when reversing a trailer in the dark.
Do you think with maybe a rubber gasket. A bit of extra sealing. Do you think she'd be worth trying to see how it may hold up?☺️
To remove hot glue intact, work a bit of rubbing alcohol on it and work it underneath. It will pop right off.
Having had not much long term success with outdoor led flood light, ie only lasting two years unlike the old halogen which lasted until the brackets rusted away ie ten years plus. Is there a make you would recommend please. Ps enjoy your vids
I remember when i bought this and it was really good. Then i bought another a year later and it was kinda crappy. Then a few years later i bought another and it felt like a beer can. the glass wasnt even glass but a plastic panel. !!!
What's power factor?
I am a hobbyists amature recycling of solar garden lights. I am wanting to diy solar flood lights with 10 watt smd chip led. I'm a visual learner. I'm looking for a simple set up. Any suggestions on how to do this? I don't want to buy an expensive already built system. I'm trying to learn something new. Thank you for any tips… Princess Ariel ex Disneyworld magic kingdom parades princess mermaid
Dumb question but what would you use these for?
Loblite back then.
Im now looking for this same type of fixture for a project and I want them small like this and serviceable to modify them
I recall that bench ac connector being called a 'safeblock'…essential bodge kit pro
eBay has the cheapest one at about £7(10w) at the moment but AliExpress sells them at £3.50 and from the feedback photos it seems to have the driverless chip.
i hope you wouldnt mind taking a look at the warmoon 10W RGB LED?
its soooo cute lmao
I purchased to of these on Ebay here in the U.S. and found the same thing you did. The ground wire was not connected to anything. You got lucky, yours had a connector on it, mine had nothing.
is there any way to run a string of say four of these lights with only one plug?
I'd love to have four around the edge fence of my garden and plug into my outdoor socket.
thank you.
