Another Temu product with strangely overzealous cost cutting. Nice case though. It could make a useful USB plug for other projects.

Temy have approached me with the offer of pre-loading my account with credit in return for reviews of their products - with bold predictions of financial rewards by affiliate links.

I have ignored their emails in the same way I ignore the large quantity I get from other companies on a daily basis. I'd rather not get involved in shilling consumer products.

Cheap 'n' nasty Temu lights - but nice case

To be fair, these were very cheap. So I wonder if they were the "off tolerance" ones. It's not uncommon to see the 2835 LED package driven quite hard in modern LED bulbs, but in this instance it appears to be a very ordinary LED on a standard PCB being driven at unusually high current. The cases are quite nice though, and do come apart fairly easily. So it could be used as the basis of a project, or even as a stylish and chunky USB plug. Here's the data:- Red - 22 ohm and 25 ohm passing 150mA Green - 15 ohm and 15 ohm passing 218mA Blue - 15 ohm and 16 ohm passing 208mA Cold white - 18 ohm and 20 ohm passing 168mA Warm white - 56 ohm and 75 ohm passing 57mA 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
