Wall light with interesting internal design.

But it turns out it's really quite cleverly designed inside to give all round illumination while also facilitating easy manufacture.
The series parallel LED system is particularly neat since it is optimised for the fixed current power supplies with a wide voltage range.

You could add a resistor in each unit and run a 12V DC supply to them all.

2019-02-01 03:40:23 +0000 UTCThis looks neat but having 230v in that little box is ropey, imagine it with a loop in and out, all sorts of dodgy pudding joints are going to happen there! I think the future of domestic lighting should shift to DC, probably 24v. Not only will it be infinitely safer but it would allow all sorts of solar and wind capture options without expensive inverters, plus mains backup systems would be cheap and reliable.
