This project is a simple fixed-colour garden feature-light designed to add a splash of colour to foliage.

This garden feature is rated PEGI 18 and contains one use of strong language.
I like this result. It's a modification to a Poundland aluminium torch / flashlight that uses it to power a single 1W LED via a couple of resistors. It's intended to provide low level colourful illumination of a garden feature for around 10 hours or more continuously on a set of three AA NiMh (Nickel Metal Hydride) rechargeable cells rated around 2000mAh. (Or a set of alkaline cells.)
Perfect for one-night garden or other rural events.
Yes I screwed up, but on this channel we don't edit out the bad bits. You get to see everything. In this case I had soldered the pads of a 1W LED bead onto a star mounting plate and the solder had not flowed under the pad. I was trying a new way to fix the LEDs on the PCBs and it turns out that it wasn't ideal.

I checked, none of my lights or parts contain profanity, will it still work for this?
I've got to admit, Clive. I watch it for the profanity. 😊
Nice one Clive, you even made Leylandii look amazing!
You always make soldering look easy.
BRILLIANT 🍀🍀🍀
That "plant stick" looks like a lolly stick to me.
Your brother has Leylandii, so environmental vandalism. Best thing to light them with is petrol ! ( Do NOT do this in an urban area – Leylandii are a tube of foliage around a column of very resinous wood, so they act like a chimney and the flames go rather higher than you might expect) 😉
Who else watched this video just for the profanity? ✋
Thank you for your videos because I learn so much. Just subscribed and hit the bell. Off to watch more of your content.
I save the excess when I shorten cable ties for mixing glues and applying it!
just use glue gun and heat it up by hand. that way you can decide how liquidy it will be. I only ever use the gun when i need the glue to fill a cavity from a pinhole.
screw it down a few times………………….well, yes
…….and see where I'm poking it which would be quite good………………………………….well, yes
