Late shift on Aliexpress (Patreon)
Content
I've just spent a very long time trawling Aliexpress for stuff for our entertainment.
I managed to find the following items:-
The original mains speaker-terminal and switch tester I couldn't find on eBay.
An "explosion proof" lamp tester that basically puts a tungsten lamp in series with the connected load so it's less likely to go bang. They had a demo video showing someone holding an LED lamp and then shorting the live and neutral terminals with a pair of uninsulated metal tweezers in their other hand!
I also found an intriguing LED wiring loom for discrete LEDs and the matching shady power supply that I've featured before. I've seen it used in metal floor lights wrapped in shiny bare coiled wire with this wiring loom threaded through it, and pondered if it had been prone to giving people shocks. Probably yes, since they suddenly switched to low voltage strings of LEDs instead.
Some unusual LEDs that I'm not even sure what's going to arrive.
And finally I got another lamp tester that does every standard base, including letting you put a 12V MR16 lamp across 240V.
