A nice simple video showing a common eBay LED light that mounts flush to a wall and provides a splash of light on landings and stairs.
The little power supplies with these should not be regarded as being fully isolated. Some have basic electrical separation and others might be supplied with mains referenced outputs. So if you like these it may make sense to buy a suitable 300mA driver that complies with local standards.
The use of a Luxeon star style LED means that swapping in a new LED of your colour choice is fairly easy. If desired, the thermal coupling to the back of the housing could also be improved.
The typical search keywords for these on eBay are:-
led recessed stair light round
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.

Please would you tell me how many volts are used by the LED lights inside a 15 watt 240 volt bayonet bulb? I bought several because they are bright, and supposed to last for thousands of hours. But they get hot and break. The leds themselves look fine, but presumably their power supply has bust. I want to conjure up some sort of replacement
Hacking them for 12v you'd have a decent accent light/ emergency light set up. At least here in North America where many buildings have a central 12v battery bank running several lights in power outages. Depending on battery size (presumably you could scale it) you could have a lighting system that could last for a day or even days if you wanted. 🤔 Plus they would look a lot better then the typical emergency light sticking out of the wall.
Why on Earth did I misread that title as a flesh-mounted feature light? 🤷♂️
those look really good. too bad the back of the housing for the led isnt drilled flush
I love these units and will try to track a few of them down in a while.
The housing is a work of art! I can see NC machines grinding away on the al-u-men-e-um blocks now.
The housing alone is by far the greatest cost.
If I end up with some, the set screw comes out and heat sink compound applied to the LED back.
Thanks Clive for this video.
Can I like, gift you an ifixit kit???
Not sure if too naughty for your channel, but tear down a Kiiroo Onyx+ for an expensive fire hazard. It uses an unbalanced 2S LiPo. It will burn houses down…
I was wondering if you could do a teardown of a Keurig coffee machine?
There are some people who have such a boring monotonous voice, that you just want to spoon your ear drums out. You are NOT one of them
Listening to you describe electronics, is like Bob Ross explaining how to draw a little happy cloud. So soothing, even though sometimes you lose me in my mid-range knowledge of electronics.
You are the type of person who could describe the reproduction and sex life of a ping pong ball and yet, make it interesting!!! Have a great one, Clive.
Can you please reverse engineer this magnetic pulser sold on eBay ( AMT-01 BelVar Low Level Frequency Magnet Field)
Is there a link to those magnifiers to inspect electronic parts for aging eyes?
Instead of using a round chunk of aluminum and milling it down they could use a scroll saw type device and a drill through to saw these out of a square piece as wide as one and as tall as one plus the thickness of the top piece, plus the blade thickness and some extra for milling and cleanup, then they could come out back to front to back and then have the sides cut with the same saw and then lathe it round and then finish mill the rest of the features like making the bottom square and the holes and threads and smoothing everything
