Poundland vs ebay cheapo lights.

A comparison between a Poundland £5 string of LED lights and an eBay £3.50 string. One of them is very good.

I think it was the one he used for "guess which power supply will explode" which was fun. (The best part is when the power supply exploded.)

2017-12-10 09:43:26 +0000 UTCI have two sets of old school lights I got on sale last year from the local super market. I love leds, but growing up in the 80’s something about the old tungsten ceramic glow is just amazing.
2017-12-10 09:13:52 +0000 UTCWhen I was a kid we had big olive shaped lamps in metal reflectors. It later turned out that many of the insulating rings had crumbled and some of those reflectors were potentially live at up to 240V. A friend also had an interesting Xmas experience while trying to find a dead lamp in a series string. He passed current across his chest with such force he thought someone had kicked him in the back.
