It's a decent effect. I think it may be a rebadged Premier product.

2021-10-28 11:19:44 +0000 UTCThe chip with the marking C33H could actually be the MCP1640 ic which is basicly a synchronous boost regulator ic with a startup voltage of 0.65V. The output voltage can be adjusted from 2.0V to 5.5V. I found this as the first result from an ad google did when i searched c33h ic

2021-10-26 23:28:02 +0000 UTC@BigClive: somehow I can't comment on the video itself anymore; maybe you've set the filters too strict?

2021-10-25 21:21:46 +0000 UTCNice cameo.... it was like Daniel Radcliffe and Robbie Coltrane were ACTUALLY in the room. 🪄

2021-10-25 09:18:49 +0000 UTCAmazon have the "premier" brand version, sold in packs of 10 without the batteries but with a remote control. Tempted! :)

2021-10-24 21:30:52 +0000 UTCThose are mighty beautiful candles. Looks like a very nice Christmas pressie for my sister in law. Maybe even 3D printable with a Joule Thief as power supply. (Flor flickering LEDs add appropriate smoothing)

2021-10-24 13:22:02 +0000 UTCC33H sounds like C3PO's cousin.

2021-10-24 08:21:32 +0000 UTCI think in a darkened room, if you hadn't seen these before, they would give a great floating illusion.

2021-10-24 08:19:24 +0000 UTCVery nice, although a tad expensive compared to the 2 battery Remote Control ones. Though you'd have to pay £8 for a tiny chocolate frog at the Harry Potter Studio Tour in London.
