Lidl's Livarno solar tape.
Added 2019-08-24 00:05:05 +0000 UTCJust call me the "The Gloved Destroyer" since I'll be wearing gloves for a few videos to shield the squeamish from my heat induced skin issue. (It's already healing up.)

This is a fairly neat little unit from a retailer called Lidl that uses various names around the world. It's notable for the generous solar panel, albeit that it isn't the more rugged fibreglass PCB type. The LEDs are in alternate polarity along the length, so the unit uses high speed polarity reversal for the effects. This could have a positive effect for reducing the effects of electrolysis where water penetrates the tape.

I didn't notice a smell.

2019-08-28 11:28:09 +0000 UTCDoes it have the horrible smell some of the water resistant coatings have?
2019-08-26 19:22:26 +0000 UTCIt should actually be water resilient. I've noticed that a lot of waterproof LED tape is still prone to internal corrosion from moisture penetration.

2019-08-25 03:34:11 +0000 UTCI'll keep an eye out for that, but it will probably be gone before I can get to a Lidl.

It also has a 3 digit display for remaining charge %, USB, micro USB and C ports and it recharges and outputs at 3A. If you are still near a Lidl it's worth trying to find one, not for tearing down but for using.

2019-08-24 05:52:15 +0000 UTCI get the same skin condition, strong detergent seems to bring it on. Betamethasone works for me too, but I find the Dipropionate 0.05% gel to be more effective and less messy than the Valerate 0.1% ointment.

2019-08-24 01:30:07 +0000 UTCThe gloves are more creepy. Besides, you know there are channels dedication to popping back side zits and other things?
