I saw these on eBay so I bought a couple to take a closer look at. The construction is a spiral of standard straw hat LEDs wound round a central core. It looks very nice. Let's break it.
This lamp turned out to be better suited to 120V than 240V as it pushes the LEDs quite hard. If used with 100-120V it will look good and last for a very long time.
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.

Magic wand..roflmao!!
Oh ! "Ranpo lighting" ! Always trying to steal your money ! First they send LED lamps with a fraction of the real wattage, even 1/4 ! And, when you catch them, they always try to lie to you, my first time for weeks ! Not anymore ! Even so, this year I bought a LED lamp for another supplier and… They were, again, Ranpo, with a different name ! Of course, same problems, but now I put eBay disputes directly, I don't trust them anymore. Cheers !
ive gotten into a habit of watching your videos while eating my evening greek yogurt snack every day. the video lengths are usually quite good for that kind of thing. it's something relaxing to watch.
Re the voltage thingy…. Forgive a stupid question but could you just run two in series?
Thank you BC!
Just noticed the Hopi says "frequence" instead of "frequency"
Best magic trick ever!!!!
Am I the only one that was slightly afraid when he reached off camera for his magic wand?
also called LED tree lamp – as the spiral of LEDs resembles a tiny tree 😉
Great video clive
Have they got any Buckie flavoured fruity bottles?
I enjoy watching these videos. They inspire me to learn electronics, and wish you had a channel where you teach electronics. More importantly the logic rather than the function i.e. some online courses will introduce electronic components, but don't help define what the component is used for. I'm a programmer by background, and understanding 'why' gives one room to learn. Great videos, I've subscribed and hope one day you offer Electronics 101 courses with simple exercises to do… I'l get myself and my kids to watch every one of them, and then do all the 'things to build' excercises.
run two in series on 240. oh you broke one didn't you. rock on Clive
