Huge Poundland lamp autopsy
Added 2023-02-09 04:36:36 +0000 UTCThere's only one thing better than a Poundland lamp and that's a very dead one for our exploration.
The circuitry in this is actually quite weird, and with a mystery component that I can't identify.

Well, if the little pink bulb was not for bodily insertion...

2023-02-10 06:25:05 +0000 UTCThere are quite a few LEDs per filament, but if one does fail shorted then that filament will definitely pass more current.

2023-02-10 02:28:15 +0000 UTCIt's referencing a 5G conspiracist who opened an LED street light and announced that there was no reason for a capacitor to be rated 400V other than for powering directed energy 5G death beams.

2023-02-09 20:39:45 +0000 UTCI was listening with headphones and the sounds weren't much louder than anything else in the video. It was totally fine.

2023-02-09 18:01:09 +0000 UTCWas there an earlier video that was the origin of electrolytic caps being called "death beam" caps? I've heard it said in quite a few videos but I don't know the origin.

2023-02-09 13:08:03 +0000 UTCYay! Mystery components! What *can't* they do?

2023-02-09 12:28:49 +0000 UTCFast forward past the carnage? Who do you think we are? That's the best bit. :-)

2023-02-09 11:44:29 +0000 UTCThe mystery component is obviously a control chip for the death beam allowing them to turn it on when they want.

2023-02-09 09:08:05 +0000 UTCIf in parallel-connected multi-element LED lamps the elements fail short, could that lead to current hogging?

2023-02-09 07:17:56 +0000 UTCThe sounds were not bad at all. The biggest sound from the channel is when you blow out the whoofler. Sounds like an afterburner when the sub is on.
