Making a video about something like this is almost like a holiday for me. Very simple circuitry that is fast to reverse engineer.

This is the fourth video I've made about this style of light over many years of evolution, and they have all been different.

They're very hackable, and could be used to make low level wire-free garden festoon lighting with your choice of LED colours, or you could use the case as a base for a completely different project.

Different again! This one came from One Below, or possibly now One Beyond. I think this one has the harshest LED current yet, but has easy hackability, including changing the current limiting resistor and the LEDs to ones that fit your needs better. It could also be converted to use a rechargeable lithium cell, although it will accept three rechargeable AAA NiMH cells as standard. I regard these lights as a useful base for customisation, or even as an enclosure for other circuitry. Mid-play video-adverts are annoying in technical videos, so I don't enable them. If you appreciate that and enjoy my content then you can help support the channel with a contribution of a dollar or two a month on Patreon. That also lets you critique the (advert free) videos before they are released, gives a more direct means of communication with me and also gives access to the regular relaxed Patreon live streams. https://www.patreon.com/bigclive #ElectronicsCreators
