Under the weather - PIR light.

I think this is probably the first time I've tried to make a video while ill.  It probably shows.

I'm not sure what I've got at the moment, but it's quite extreme and VERY unpleasant at night.

It's interesting to note that Dave of EEVblog seems to be suffering from a bug at the moment too.

Hope you feel better dude.

Wasnt sure if you had them planned days in advance or were a spur of the moment thing, so was hoping for a heads up in case you were going to do one today. I keep finding them after they are finished due to my hit and miss lifestyle. Hope you start feeling better.

Given the brand and the place I bought it, it will be the lowest cost option they could get in that style.

The Friday Night Clive is not a regular thing. It's just going to happen from time to time.

Big Clive

If you are feeling better Friday, do you plan on doing a live stream?

The last time I had that malady, I found that listening to the stream of the MBC was able to break the endless dreams, and I was able to sleep. As soon as the stream ended, I snapped awake, though. I just started it again. Soooo, I guess I owe you guys and gal a debt of gratitude. Thank you all. You should try it, Clive. Even though it's listening to yourself and a bunch of hot dogs, It might help. Cheers, and get well soon.

Unusual that yours has so few LEDs - almost all the ones I can find on eBay have 20 LEDs instead of 4.

You can click the heart at the lower right of the description. When playing the video the youtube title appears overlaid on the video window starting at the top left. You can open that to get the youtube page for the video. In Chrome put the mouse over the overlaid title and hold the right mouse button and select "open in new window". And click the thumbs-up there.

Yeah, I've had those type of dreams when sick as well. It's like my brain gets stuck on a single idea and forms an endless dream about it, which makes perfect sense in the dream but proves to be nonsensical when I wake up. And then it starts up again as soon as I fall asleep again.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

Feel better Clive! I bought a similar light a while back (lithium in mine), and when the lithium battery died I ended up replacing it with the battery from a small quadcopter (drone). That battery has performed very well by comparison and the unit works great.

I will be the first one to say I am at the lower end of the IQ line. When God was asking for people who wanted to have a high IQ I must have thought he was asking if anyone wanted a Hiku and said I wasn't into poetry, so I didnt get any. Anyway, I do not see a like button for the videos, so where do I make sure that my love of a video is known thru out the community? Or in other words, how do I hit the like button?

Sometimes I think we have free drugs built in at other times too.

Big Clive

I call it "Techie Brain Flu", it is unpleasant but I always think that some daft people take drugs to feel like this and I've got it for free! You'll be fine in a day or two.

Phil Collins

Anyone else noticed, when a man gets a cold or feels unwell, it's manflu. When a female gets it, all hell breaks out and we don't understand just how crap they feel. Get well soon BC, we are all rooting for you. 🤧😷

Neil Tonks

Clive Hope you get to feeling better soon.

I've checked one of the many highly regarded "truth" websites and they do feel that it's either a computer virus, 5G death beams or the table light next to my bed emitting dirty power.

Big Clive

Hooray! I thought I only had a normal virus last week but now I discovered it means I'm an engineer!

Berkeloid

I feel for you. Get well soon. I get weird dreams too. Probably shouldn't share those. The worst is when I'm so sick I can't sleep. I get so tired I can't function but at the same time can't sleep.

Nani Isobel

I keep replaying your evil laugh at the end, it is driving my dogs crazy.

As for the dreams: I know exactly what you’re talking about. When I get those, I often wake up intermittently and in my dizzy state of mind actually realize that I am in one of those loops, and it annoys the hell out of me, infuriatingly realizing at the same time that there’s nothing I can do about it, because in that sick state •not• going back to sleep usually is not an option either :-)

Daniel Schneller

Sounds like you and Dave might have caught the same computer virus? #medicalOpinion

Hope you're fully back up to speed soon, Clive.

The great engineers flu of 2019? The great could be meant in different ways in that sentence I guess. Hope you get well soon. Funny that you are doing this video since a few days ago I came across a brand new one I bought last year that didn't work straight out of the box. and had gotten buried under some other stuff. I only brought it to my bench yesterday but haven't had the time to get into it enough yet to find the fault, but it is not the solar panel or the battery, as the light will come on very bright when you push the small recessed test button.

i had those wierd dreams when i had a fever before. It can really fuck you up mentally... Last time i encountered it was about six weeks ago when i had the "Hantavirus", which knocked me out for a couple of days. I think it helps if you embrace the dreams, try to see them as an adventure, like a rollercoaster ride. Helped me to get through it :D

Daniel Rotskas

Same for me. The fever gives me crazy dreams as does solid doses of some helpful medication. I suggest consulting Dr. Ralph for some sort of calming potion. Get well soon and forget getting vids out. Health first.

Sorry to hear you're not feeling well! I hope you feel better soon. No worries about the video quality at all good sir. Also yeah, I have the same kind of weird looping dreams that you describe... sometimes even after I wake up, I go right back into the same one, I always have very crazy dreams when I'm feeling sick... you are not alone! :-)

Matt Enwright

Grass pollen? (ok, https://weather.com/forecast/allergy/l/IM1:4:IM doesn't look too bad, but that's definitely a thing that can fuck you up when you least expect it...)

That sounds like the flu. I hate it when reality and fever dreams merge. Please get well, we need you BC.

Hope you'll fully recover soon, Clive. Sweet dreams!

Sorry to hear you’re not well Clive. Hope you’re feeling better soon!

Auctoris

I haven’t seen your video yet, but the dreaded electronics man flu is not to be trifled with!

Bo Holbo Rasmussen

I find you always over-worry about your video quality... it's always great from my perspective! Never a need to apologize. Wishing you a speedy recovery and a return to normal soon.

Steve Brecht

I always have the same thing when I have a fever. I’m always working and I absolutely have to get it done on time. It’s always something strange that I’m working at too. When my temperature drops, it just clears instantly and I think , what the hell was that about?
