A nice twist on the LED "neon" effect.

I've already featured the mains voltage LED strip that produces a very diffused line of light to emulate neon, but this is a nice twist.
It's a low voltage version optimised for use on batteries in short runs, and mounted into a custom moulded channel to allow fast and precise manufacture.
Note the slight design quirk regarding the unintended recharging of the batteries when the USB supply is connected. In a way it could be used to give a quick recharge boost to NiMh cells, but with no end of charge cut-off and quite a high trickle charge. The resistor could also get quite hot when the batteries had low charge.

No. You can just send me a message.

2018-01-18 21:20:27 +0000 UTCI watch YouTube on my TV and normally have the soundbar on 20. I had to turn it up to 30 for this video. Not a complaint though, just an observation.

2018-01-18 19:27:05 +0000 UTCHi Big Clive, do you not have a remote monitor from your camera on the wall above your bench ? Also when you do your next Q&A would you be able to show us around your bench setup please. Thanks Big Fella.
