This thing is ideal for use in props and cosplay items. It's a flame lamp PCB running from an internal lithium cell that is recharged via a USB port. The cell capacity tested out at a rather predictable 1Ah. (1.1Ah / 1100mAh)

This also keeps the channel independent of YouTube's advertising algorithms allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty.

And Iām back here again, a few years later.
I bought one of these, mustāve been 3 years ago, after seeing this video & mine too was faulty, it worked but wouldnāt charge.
It was a badly soldered charge chip. I reflowed it & away she went, working nicely.
Now itās decided to stop charging again, so Iāve re-flowed the connections on the chip & USB socket & it appears to be working again.
The switch doesnāt like the ash in the fire grate, so I have to blow it out occasionally, but apart from that (& the questionable soldering) itās been fine (āgrateā you might say š¤¦āāļø).
Very āgrateāful for this video so I could get it apart again.
Where I gets resources chip program information for like this flame effect thanks š
I like these candles with the pendulum flame which is pushed only once in 2 to 4 seconds illuminated by a LED from below. This design gives a very realistic flame imagination.
has anyone replicated thisĀæĀæ
Lay it out flat and sell it as a bike light
A thumbs up for good crap as it was fertilizer for the mind, mistakes, and all. An intriguing module of LED flame effect array. I've come across this added diode, or resistor or another component being used as a packer to level off the PCB inside a unit. In this case, it looks like the diode is bumping up that side to the height of the USB socket, Plus, these non-connected components are also used to wedge the circuit board into its housing.
OH! Screws! LOL. Makes things easier than "Hot Snot" TM (Ave) š
Thanks Big Clive. This looks pretty kewl.
Why in heck wasn't I subscribed? I' ve watched you for years o_O
I wonder how cheap MEMS tilt ICs are nowadays, probably cents.
Nice! I stole a bunch of mercury switches from an old houseās alarm sensors… doors windows etc.
that was ~two yrs ago and I still havenāt used them for a project. Waiting for…. something evil š¤ š lol
I've got a similar bulb but it's a screw in one.
It also doesn't have a button switch but cycles through the settings by turning it on and off.
Would it be possible to fix it to one setting some how ?
Light it up in panorama mode! Whew!
Was terrified for a moment. Sorry. š
Dim the lights please. I think there are some lonely LEDs at the top.
Edit: now I find myself talking to the screen on a 2 year old video. š
A western company needs to begin designing/manufacturing these things using slightly more complicated circuitry so as to give an even more realistic flickering flame effect, instead of the very repetitious flicker you get on this cheap Chinese made junk – Even when you pay $30 USD for a Eterbiz flame effect table lamp, it's exactly the same as this thing but the LED array laid out flat instead of in a cylinder.
in the thumbnail it looked like chunk hot plutonium
