A less complicated video to fill in the gap until work tames down to the point I can make proper videos again. Next week is going to be super-busy, but things should settle down after that. I have a few half-made videos that require their final reverse engineering bit, so hopefully the printer I got last year has survived storage for a year, and not been dumped on its side or upside down.

I was hoping this might be usable as a mini ring light.

I saw this COB based led keychain light and wondered if it had a donut shaped COB that could be used as a ring light for a miniature camera. The answer is yes and no. It COULD be adapted with a bit of effort, but is not totally suited to the application. The modification would require removing the button and drilling a hole in its place, then bypassing the control circuitry. It's a neat enough little light. I've seen the clever spring loaded clasp mechanism before. It's very simple and makes me wonder who came up with the original concept of differing leg lengths to give an inherent self-closing effect. If you enjoy these videos you can help support the channel with a dollar for coffee, cookies and random gadgets for disassembly at:- https://www.bigclive.com/coffee.htm This also keeps the channel independent of YouTube's algorithm quirks, allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty. #ElectronicsCreators
