IKEA bulb/lamp teardown
Added 2023-05-28 04:47:00 +0000 UTCThis was supposed to be a single lamp teardown, but it turned out the pack I got had two different lamps in it. I wonder if people had just randomly taken them out and mixed them up or if someone made themselves a special pack with the other two lamps. Bonus for us, since we get to explore both.
Interesting approach to the circuitry though. They've not followed the linear current regulator trend.

The meatballs are actually made in Poland these days, at least the ones served in Finland

2023-05-29 05:50:51 +0000 UTCYeah, I'm so used to the value being around the 470K to 1M area that I got caught out. It seems an unusually high value.

2023-05-29 05:49:23 +0000 UTCThanks Big Clive. Interesting exploration as always! Stupid question? Is that a 510K resistor or a 5.1M resistor? Opps, nevermind. Saw the correction.
