The main feature of this light is that it is very slim and light. It's basically just two pieces of pressed and punched aluminium forming a strangely lightweight floodlight panel.
It's based on an unusual COB style LED array with what appears to be a current regulating circuit with an unidentifiable chip and a big transistor doing all the hard work.
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 guess the word "driverless" should be replaced with "self-driving".
Fecida are pumping a load of these buggers through Amazon, with water proof connector. Buy 2 get 1 free! Presently being sold as a grow light in pink or white light.
Besides Grilling Food outside. Another thing us guys are great at. Sizing up a screw or nut and picking the correct size screwdriver, socket or wrench. 🙂
This thing is built to last its 12 month warranty and not a day more
Im a beginner at electricity. Can you please explain what you ment by testing the light if it was earthed . Was that a good thing or not ?
I wouldn’t trust the colors of the wires as to which is ground wire. You’d think it would be green, but I’ve bought some of these early version Chinese made flood lights….opened them up to check wiring, and voila. Green was one of the legs out of the driver instead of the actual ground. The ground was “glued” to the case with hot glue gun material. Danger will Robinson!
STM18 seems to indicate this is part of the STM18xxxx voltage controllers manufactured by ST Microelectronics in Switzerland, a well known manufacturer. I would suspect that the "C" designates a custom part made for a specific customer and that the rest of the part number designates something like the intended voltage and the design version.
Almost looks like a grill when it's laying flat. Could you use two of these as a grill aka secondary life saving feature. Haha
They're still selling these floodlights on aliexpress and other platforms. I wonder if zip tying a fan on the back would help to cool the chip sufficiently.
Could you cook a pot of soup on this?
Dose it has certificate ETL, UL listed?
