If there's one thing that's better than a set of dodgy Chinese fairy lights, it's a set of dodgy fairy lights that have tried to kill a groom on his wedding day. I was sent this set by Phil who got zapped while setting the lights up for his own wedding. The lights also have an LED that has been showing signs of extreme arcing and burning. That's just the icing on the (wedding) cake.
This investigation has also made me aware of a rather exciting fault condition that could potentially occur with the longer strings of lights.

"I'm going to use the meter set to continuity" AKA the "other" setting. lol. I wonder if you designed a simple, single wire set of probes with continuity and 20vDC functionality, as useful and handy as this would be, would it sell? A very limited device, but compact and so useful??!
Bloody hell! Heart in my mouth for so much of this 😄
A new twist on killing anyone outside of China….fuck all those expensive viruses.
What does he call the hot glue? Is/are you/he saying hot melt glue?
You keep saying "4chan'll"… 4chan will what? You never finish the sentence.

Killer lights… BEST LIGHTS EVER
Probably long lince Binned.
But when I see these Death traps I recommend the BIN.
When the customer whines and can afford it, I Mod the dropper to work with 24V AC.
And add a standard "Garden" Transformer.
Clive you said one of the resistors was a reference for determining the zero crossing point. Could you explain that?
3 * 240 = 639.9999999
I have seen two-color 3 wire variant that had some really annoying dreary melody function in it, which didn't even have a bit of hot glue on the wires, case, circuit, and even LEDs!
This thing runs on AC and I was able to open it in 3 seconds.
