Who doesn't love things with LEDs and a USB plug?

    you ebay links do not exist

    Nothing special, just led and resistor without led driver! So lots of loss and heating 👎

    That looks more like a Micro USB connection than an old fat Mini!

    I designed my own LED strip and using in the kitchen. I added PIR and LDR sensors. Consuming only 1.3Wh while active and 28mWh~30mWh while it is passive and we forgot to use an ordinary lamp. It is easy for using. Just go inside, do whatever you need and leave it. No problem. It detects motion and turns on the LEDs and Timer about 8 minutes and turns off itself. kitchen countertops reflect the light and you need light just on it. So more efficient and practical. I did one more again with batteries. For 4xAAA batteries we can use it for 2 months. 5 sec for active after motion. it is for the only corridor and 5 sec is enough to see your way. Also, I added a switch for using it camping or similar situations for more than 10 hours. And the third one is for my PC table, keyboard. My keyboard has not RGB LEDs so I added to my table for my keyboard. Feeding from USB. I used only LDR and Switch. The first time, it takes too much time but After you find the right design, you can use it very cheap and practical. It was my small R&D part for LED lighting story for different projects. I like this kind of videos that give me the motivation to do something myself.

    You know, what we need today is some easy way to keep those blasted power banks alive when we are trying to use them. I find myself using the first power bank I ever built from a kit. While I have many that are much nicer looking, many that last longer, many with built in flashlight, even a few with solar charges, but I use the ones I built from i kit using old cells from torn down failed laptop batteries because they do not time out. Perhaps some bit of wire jumping a couple pins in a chip, or a resistor placed across an output trace?

    Add some black dots on the switch buttons, a ghostly smiling switch …

    BOLTR

  8. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Dave Monger says:

    If you touch and hold the touch switch the light dims (or brightens)

  9. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars flagpoleeip says:

    all switches are touch switches how else are they supposed to work?

    Whenever an engineer sees the screws, he/she gets the feeling of opening that.

    This isn't a new video, I saw this exact video ages ago on your channel. Why is it uploaded again now?

    I think you can eat certain things and your crap will be white…I have seen examples with dogs, must do more research

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Greg Ewing says:

    Looks like the double switch is designed to accommodate two cords coming out of the output end.

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Greg Ewing says:

    Both cool light and warm light… lukewarm light?

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Kenn Mossman says:

    the touch switch is really handy when the light is mounted on the ceiling……….

    "I like that bend" made me laugh. It made me think of "I quite like that wart" 🙂
