65W (!) LED photography lamp.

It says it's rated at 65W, but can you guess the real power?

Clive, I'm not sure that 150k would cause the LEDs to dim noticeably quicker on removal of power. It could be for circuity stability and also to completely discharge the output capacitor, since LEDs stop conducting below their threshold voltage

Worth buying just for the case, when the LED's die that is...

Richard Boyce

power used is probably the best 'consumer' measure of brightness.

Richard Boyce

Yes, that's sensible. The 65W in this case may be the output equivalency to a 65W tungsten lamp of the same style, but even that is a bit dubious.

How should these LED lights be rated? Lumens and color temp maybe?

Am I the only one that thinks having the input power rating do double duty as a 'brightness' rating is kind-of silly? With the IMMENSE variety of power-to-light conversion efficiencies of today's LED chips, together with the huge difference between different switch-mode power supplies (not to even mention the capacitive or RESISTIVE droppers), doesn't it just incentivise the use of the cheapest, most inefficient LED chips, together with the most wasteful power supply that they could still make work?

Good video. And to be fair 22w isnt bad at all. the circuit board near the ali makes me nervous but i guess you could pot it or wrap it in tape, but for $10 its rather good even just for the housing, it could be converted to low voltage and used for bench lighting...i may order one. Another discovery, you really should be on a commission clive!

It got bent down for manufacture. These leads are usually ok for some bends.

I absolutely love the name brand. I guess they are being honest with their dishonesty on the rating at least.😜😺

You bending that capacitor by it's leads made me cringe.

Guessing 20-25 watts myself.

I'm gonna guess 10w before I watch
