Temu solar street light is surprising
Added 2024-04-29 01:23:48 +0000 UTCAside from the robust looking and decent output solar panel, this light has a chunky LiFePO4 cell and unusually minimised circuitry. It was quite fast to reverse engineer, since it seems to be a sensible design.

Amazon in the US has what appears to be the same thing but with a 30,000mAh battery (LOL) for 99USD (!!!)
