This is quite a neat little light that physically plugs into a socket like a night light, but has a rotating lensed cover with three LEDs underneath. Claimed to be universal voltage and 3W it actually turned out to draw 1.5W and have a basic capacitive dropper inside with the rectified DC being split between the LEDs and a bypass resistor, then all going through the motor.
Very simple, but it works quite well, even if the motor speed is a bit ferocious.

I see you haven't eaten all the pink smarties I suspect the item comes in other colours ! might try and buy one for the bits inside
I think the zener diode is protecting the LED's from beeing overvolted. Zener diodes can be used as voltage regulator by bypassing current to keep the voltage down.
hay pal..can u please tear down the new emergency led light bulb which battery is inside?please
Does a winding fail put the rotor shaft at input voltage?….
This was interesting.. love watching the videos.. cheers!!! and a nice glass of Laphroaig for you…
