This was a random thing I did very late at night. It was an idea to improve some cheap coloured globe lights with little LED trees inside.
The project also included a little LED tester/comparer that doubles up as a neat little USB ornament that runs at very low current.
Here's the listing I've just ordered some concave lens LEDs from. They're the type used in Christmas lights for all-round viewing.

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.

Making little RGB LED trees to go into some glass candle lanterns I found for a few bucks each on closeout for gifts. Not quite working out as well as yours here but similar idea. Haven't decided what I am going to use as a power supply yet but currently using a USB cord. I am digging the sockets. I ordered I don't know 1000 or 5k LEDs and they were nice enough to send resistors. Now I have a belt as long as my shop.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I'm pretty impressed how consistant your LEDs are
Dude, could you use a little ball of poster putty, on the end of a stick, to hold led’s when you solder… my thought is taking the eraser out, and replace it with the poster putty…
Dude, been enjoying having you videos on, while I’m writing.
I had a flashlight that I’d dropped, stopped working, and went under the car seat. I took it apart, and the red wire’s soldering broke… My hands shake like hell, so I avoid things like that… only burned myself once, but it’s working… I heard the make these things called gloves… 😉
'and by "loose at the moment" I actually mean "loose forever"' 😂
Mr. Clive, what temps do you run your iron at?
Big Clive is like the Bob Ross of electronics !
Personally, I would have used the hot melt glue gun!!!
thanx bud👍👍was quite entertaining
😀😀
Will your solar cell still charge the battery with that globe covering it?
I cut a piece of double sided circuit board into long skinny strips 35 to 50 mm wide and however long the origin sheet of double sided was before I started cutting it.
That piece of circuit board replaces your pair of wires.
In your application you could solder your two wires coming off your control boad to opposite sides of the skinny piece of pcb..
It makes it very easy to add paralleled leds by soldering one lead to each side of the circuit board….
Christ mate, how many joints do your fingers have? ^^
Seriously though, I love watching you solder – I don't know anyone who solders with this degree of dexterity. (And this is coming from somebody who is building circuits as a hobby for well over 10 years now… So I'm certainly no noob when it comes to soldering skills, but you are truly on another level…)
That's funny, I build my "special connectors" exactly the same way. Depending on the desired stability, sometimes with a small plastic strip on top of the hot glue and then the heat shrink tubing over it.
Exploid and do weird shit quoting you directly was so funny to hear …
