This video is shameless filler to make my life easier while travelling. But still a worthy video to see the similarities between these lights. There's clearly some factory in China really banging these out as disposable floodlights. Possibly even for the hydroponics industry.

eBay 150W LED floodlight? FLICKER WARNING

A quickie video made just before travelling to make things more relaxed. This is a typical eBay facilitated grey import floodlight. Spoiler - I did leave it running and it gradually crept down to 75W with the regulator chip area of the PCB getting the hottest. Those linear regulator chips automatically regulate down when they get too hot. This may actually help the LEDs last a bit longer, but I still regard these lights as dangerously non compliant and short lived landfill. 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
