Inside a cheap bluetooth speaker bulb

A classic eBay bluetooth lamp/bulb/light with speaker.   When you link your phone to it, you can play music through it.

Quite a neat PCB design.  It seems to be a refined product.  Shame the remote control seemed mostly incompatible.

If I think it's going to take a while to get apart I'll often stop recording. In this instance it was actually quite easy to get apart due to the connectors.

Hi Mike, for audio I totally agree that decent Bluetooth audio solutions come at a high cost. If it's just for control though there are loads of great solutions out there such as JDY-23 for less than $1 which I've found to be quite reliable. For me the headache comes later when you need to keep apps working every time iOS or Android updates and breaks everything again.

That top layer mask+silk bodge is quite nice. I get asked to "do Bluetooth" every so often by clients, but to be honest I've not found a reliable solution at a price they're willing to pay. My research suggests this experience is common: about half people report having no problems at all with Bluetooth, the other half report ongoing chronic issues. Fine for a toy speaker but not a professional product that's meant to SAVE you time.

I've always been intrigued by the JBL Charge -resembling Bluetooth speakers sold on sites like Aliexpress. How are they like internally, especially the viewpoint of electrical safety (charging circuit)? Many of them also claim to be waterproof (even though they are not). Maybe a video idea for the future?

Who conjures up these miracles of misapplied technology?

They couldn't squeeze a laser projector and fog machine in too for the full bathroom rave effect?

Is there anything someone wont add a Bluetooth speaker to?

Dr Andy Hill

It seems good as a proof of concept but needs a turbo added. I was wondering where you would use it, and the only answer I have is the WC.
