Chinese street light revisit
Added 2024-02-08 18:39:22 +0000 UTCI'm not sure if these are actually used as street lights in China, although it's very possible they are.
Having looked at one of these about 6 years ago I thought I'd revisit it and see how things have changed.
I've also go another one here that is bigger, rated 50W and has very good power factor. I'll make a video about it in the future.

At least there was an effort made to ground-ish this light. Using the discrete driver provides light with less flicker than integrated on-board drivers tend to deliver. As always and as you mocked-up here, the electronic components can always be replaced/upgraded over time. The biggest concern could be the limited lifespan of the materials used in the case itself as you shared. An excellent “take-it-to-bits” as we’ve come to expect from you — thank you!
