Unusually safe Chinese eBay lights (Patreon)

I was almost hoping this power supply was going to be terrible inside, but it actually seems to be made to local safety standards.
It took a while to reverse engineer the primary side circuitry, because the chip isn't one I recognise and I didn't get any clues from the number on the IC. Even a search for a cloned original didn't find any with a matching pinout.
It does have some hackability for reducing the current delivered to the LEDs, and unlike many high-street versions here, it actually has the memory chip for storing the last setting.
It could be viable to buy a string of these just for the power supply if you have a matching two wire 30V set that defaults to flashing effects or has a failed power supply.
