Magnetically switched lights.
Added 2025-02-13 13:08:20 +0000 UTCThis video is probably most useful as a demo of how these little Hall effect sensors can be used to allow switching of a module that is inside an enclosure.
I'm in Glasgow at the moment, so haven't been making much content - this is one of a few reserve videos I made before travelling.

Kinda cool. But it seems like a solution looking for a problem.
