Vanilla light teardown
Added 2021-01-16 03:30:39 +0000 UTCSince every other video I was working on has gone "complicated" or required further materials, here's a nice plain light teardown and assessment for hackability.

Big Clive and his "inappropriate tool" approach to life. This is why we watch, it's just way we lesser mortals do it!
2021-01-19 22:27:59 +0000 UTCThe one I was looking at on Ebay has Bus bar solder points. I know I have seen somewhat similar stuff but seems to be something from years ago.

2021-01-18 05:54:14 +0000 UTCI know exactly where that box is. It's not been explored too deeply as it arrived when the gadget mountain was getting unmanageable.

2021-01-18 03:32:07 +0000 UTCI bet the price will go up even more once this video hits the masses. Looks a great little light in spite of a few minor shortcommings. Now if that was me it would be, "And the grub screw is out... and lost!"

2021-01-16 12:22:32 +0000 UTCI mean, if it's getting hard to get stuff for videos Clive, there's a box somewhere in the random pile with a dozen or so cheap multimeters... :P

2021-01-16 12:22:02 +0000 UTCThere is a tremendous amount of material waste in machining that out of a solid block. The mounting hardware says good luck trying to ever remove that from a wall nondestructively. Pretty sure I wouldn't want that power supply flopping around loose inside a wall anyway.
