Blast from the past
Added 2025-02-11 06:49:16 +0000 UTCA "retro" LED floodlight, with a very good quality power supply. It's also worth mentioning that the earth/ground wire IS connected to the case, plus also to filtering in the PSU, the cable is better quality and longer than modern floodlights, it doesn't flicker and it has good power factor.
The modern lights are all mass produced at the lowest cost. They are made cheaply and glued together.

I pick one up during discount sales, it's a 10W COB, Made in China cheap product but works fine.
