1000W of ultra dangerous Christmas fairy lights. Uses ten 100W LEDs connected directly to 240V AC mains. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO COPY THIS MADNESS unless you understand the dangers of mains electricity. The LEDs flicker like hell and may trigger photosensitive epilepsy. After a while the LEDs will overheat and will almost certainly start a fire. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

    OMG it was like watching an episode of "Hypno-Toad" Any one else notice how every third episode Julian and Clive both mention the dodgy mains plugs? lol

    Its very misleading to call that 1000 watts i know it peaks at around 1000 watts, but in terms of RMS its not even close

    OH, YES…variacs are NOT isolated from the mains, so don't (dare) assume they operate as an isolation transformer!
