LED path light
Added 2020-12-14 21:40:30 +0000 UTCThis is a rather neat little light for mounting on walls or posts to provide a wash of light at ground level.
Like most modern LED lights you can't change the lamp, but people like us can swap and repair the PCB.

2020-12-15 13:30:52 +0000 UTCIt would be interesting to see the PCB.

2020-12-15 13:26:26 +0000 UTCI can send you photos if you like. I'm at work now but can do later

2020-12-15 11:29:03 +0000 UTCI din't think I've come across a cap dropper based one yet.

2020-12-15 11:10:12 +0000 UTCNot silicone, but polymer two part gel. And maybe a 100nF or 220nF capacitor to reduce the current a bit for even longer LED life.

2020-12-15 11:09:28 +0000 UTCYes it is. Condensation central.

2020-12-15 11:08:25 +0000 UTCGoing to watch this one at lunch today. I love that! We bought a couple of very inexpensive LED flame effect bulbs at Wal-Mart over the weekend. Only one mode and built entirely onto a rigid PCB containing the capacitive dropper and everything, slotted into the housing with a resistor connected to the center from the board. I am impressed as hell and want to use one in a solar lamp project! Clive, I would swear you did a video on one. I'll go search. Hmm...i may be thinking of the minimalist solar flame effect one.

2020-12-15 09:21:37 +0000 UTCIt’s a neat little unit, I do think outside I’d be tempted to drill a drain in it.

2020-12-15 08:23:16 +0000 UTCI think I'd be flooding that with silicone sealant, that seal wouldn't do anything against the Scottish weather.

2020-12-15 07:53:47 +0000 UTCThe plastic lens gasket is perfect for holding the water in that leaks thru that crappy waterproof cable seal.
2020-12-15 03:20:50 +0000 UTCWhat do you use to take the pictures of the circuit boards? They seem too clear to be done by a hand held phone.

2020-12-14 22:36:10 +0000 UTCI think this would be ideal to use with the dusk sensor reviewed earlier. All mounted in an ip65 or better box.

2020-12-14 22:08:26 +0000 UTCMight be alright for a garage or shed inside or outside, for some steps perhaps. Could link it up with a pir to switch a few of them on. For DIYers at a cheap price you cant go wrong, not sure id like it installed professionally tho. You could even modify it and using it for say 12v, its a nice base to start with.
