Death Dalek lights still on eBay and getting worse?
Added 2023-10-02 05:51:50 +0000 UTCThe corner cutting on these deathtrap products is impressive. I'm guessing it's a cost optimised version of a real product that has had very single corner cut with total disregard for safety.
eBay has no proper way to report a dangerous listing like this, which is a shame, as otherwise eBay is a very useful platform.
My bench area now smells of toxic smoke after I did a simple 5A test on the cable at low voltage. There was smoke pouring off it, and the exposed conductors were glowing. The voltage across it increased to a surprising level too.

A previous one had live metal trim on the push button!

2023-10-09 20:35:25 +0000 UTCI was just wondering if that metallic paint is conductive. I'd guess that would make it even more of a spicy fun product. Usually while you are taking things to bits, I'm mentally noting various parts that might be useful but in this case, I think as before, there's not much there is there?
