The schematic didn't take long to draw.

The local supermarket used to stock Iceland stuff, but stopped a while ago.

2021-10-27 02:43:40 +0000 UTCI have been looking for one of those rotary resistance devices since Clive took his apart in 2016. It has standard resistors inside so if you cook one you can solder in a replacement easily.

2021-10-26 23:58:47 +0000 UTCItβs still more sophisticated than an almost identical looking one that I bought from Aldi a couple of years ago. That just had 3 fast colour changing LED across the batteries and a switch. Donβt even remember a resistor in there. The effect once inside a pumpkin was very underwhelming!

2021-10-26 16:47:13 +0000 UTCI think with some warm white leds and a fast blinking resistor it would make a great pumpkin light. I think it would really look like a flame if done correctly.

2021-10-26 13:25:04 +0000 UTCSo the pumpkin part of the light's title must come from putting the lamp into a hollowed out pumpkin as nothing else would make sense.
2021-10-26 09:00:32 +0000 UTCI was expecting a pumpkin shaped light from the title but I get it now, it's one of those stick on cupboard lights painted orange and called a pumpkin light!

2021-10-26 05:36:51 +0000 UTCFalse advertising, that light is clearly not a pumpkin!
