Good video for bedtime.
Added 2018-10-20 04:08:09 +0000 UTCThis is one of those videos that turns out so relaxed and ambient that it might make you fall asleep.

As such, I'd suggest it as a bedtime video.

2018-10-25 04:57:25 +0000 UTCI've used a couple of techniques. Tupperware style food containers or a component bag with the pack inside, the open end pointing downwards and a large bulldog clip to hang the whole assembly while also gripping the bag and battery pack.

Any idea what it takes to make those poundland fairy lights battery boxes somewhat water resistant? Or is that a fight you can't win?

2018-10-24 11:02:38 +0000 UTCThis is indeed a snoozy video. It's appreciated. Related to the expiration date on an NiMH, would it make sense that this date is the last date the battery can be installed from full capacity, to a reasonable time later, after it's sold and recharged again without the battery discharging itself?
2018-10-24 07:13:16 +0000 UTCGosh...I really enjoyed thaaa...ZZZZzzzz
2018-10-22 21:56:42 +0000 UTCYou're right about relaxed and ambient; this video had much more of a Bob Ross vibe to it than some of your other videos. Enjoyed it!

2018-10-21 03:57:44 +0000 UTCSeems strange to hide the panel under that cover, it would be interesting to see how it affects the charging current of the solar panel, I'm surprised enough light gets through to turn off the LEDs really. On the plus side it will be much more water resistant than previous ones you've looked at.

2018-10-20 21:06:20 +0000 UTCWhile the battery operated one is a great idea I picked up a 'cordless' glue gun that acts very much like an old cordless iron, it has a corded base and relies on the residual heat to keep the glue flowing. It can also be used corded as it uses a 'figure of 8' connector on the base and the gun. Great idea but the gun is a bit cheap and nasty as many glue guns are. It's still for sale on Amazon: <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Amtech-S1845-Corded-Cordless-Glue/dp/B00GFLG84U" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.amazon.co.uk/Amtech-S1845-Corded-Cordless-Glue/dp/B00GFLG84U</a> Personally I'm waiting for Makita to release a rival to the Ryobi gun as I have invested in their LXT battery system.

2018-10-20 20:31:38 +0000 UTCYou could do that if you added a 1N4148 diode and 100nF capacitor to stop the LEDs resetting to red on every inductor pulse. The colours may be a bit odd though, as red tends to dominate when the LEDs have a current limited source because of its lower forward voltage.

2018-10-20 19:57:22 +0000 UTCBeautiful recovery after the disassembly mishap! Do you suppose four slow color changing LEDs could be substituted? It's a perfect looking diffuser!

2018-10-20 19:51:49 +0000 UTCI'd never even thought about a cordless hot glue gun. Damn, that would just be handy to have around versus finding my old corded one in the basement.
2018-10-20 16:47:17 +0000 UTCThis was relaxing to watch.

2018-10-20 06:21:33 +0000 UTCI hope you don't mine me posting this, but Fran of FranLab and Fran tone needs help after being screwed by new land lord. she put up a Go-Fund-Me <a href="https://www.gofundme.com/franlab-needs-a-new-home" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.gofundme.com/franlab-needs-a-new-home</a> she covers things that are to old or unique to be covered on most other EE channels Please help if you can, Give her channel a try "she is not monetized but views are nice support too" or just post something nice and get the word out.
