welcome to another mail bag Monday off to a good start here I see hmm so while
that settles this is a grandpa's sweater oatmeal stout from barn hammer
brewing in Winnipeg I've had this one before and I think I've shared it on
here before I really like it it's it's just a nice easy drinking stout Oh
would you look at the cascade to the bubble cascade isn't that just beautiful
but that aside I guess we'd better get into what this mail bag's really all
about the mail well well that's settling itself down and I must say that is a
fairly excellent head it's a little excessive but it's holding its head well
like that so first actual mail bag thing
electrical testing equipment quantity
100 K it's a different variant on those Wagle lever nut connectors um these ones
here which I've been using fairly constantly actually on my little power
supply this is a slightly different kind so these ones they lift up and hold
while you're putting your way in and out and then click down these ones seem to
just come up while you're working with it and then drop down let me see if I
can find let's use some of this super lightweight wire here so pull that up it
doesn't take much to hold that once it's up shove them in clamp it down that's
solid I mean that's really solid
good let's try with a higher gauge where try it with what is this lamp cord
that's solely clamped into there - well you can actually see through the back
looks like way at the back there's where it makes its contact okay so then I
shoves my wire weight to the back and there it is actually touching the bat
let's see it there and then I clamp down and that's making a good contact okay so
the installation can go all the way in there that's cool and I just what they
get a package of five of those just to play with them I guess see how they
compare against these ones five pieces t / 3/5 way reusable spring leaver
terminal book electric cable connector wire I got the three-way and it is five
pieces and they're those ones this came from as is a twine nine nine nine zero I
did not pay $50 shipping it was free shipping when I bought them that's
shocking to see I paid a dollar 67 for the five of them with Free Shipping
let's pretend that I didn't just open this with the camera pause shall we
gee I wonder what's inside it says LED patch mmm it's a bag of LEDs that were
somehow inexplicably open and I just dropped some on the floor yeah it's okay
no that's gonna throw me off my game my start recording okay good so let's uh
here we go oh that's kind of bluey or purpley or something in here you tell me
and my old colorblind eyes what that is is that blue or purple or
is it impersonating ultraviolet maybe 50 pieces f5 5 millimeter round ultraviolet
LED UV light 392 395 nanometers purple lamp EMF from module fans I did pay a
dollar 75 and again I didn't pay shipping it was free shipping when I
ordered it so this is I don't know what's happened that's two in a row that
seemed to have shipping maybe it's because it's limited quantity remaining
that they've banned shipping fees on to it for now I'm not sure
anyway if you search around for these keywords up here and limit your ship
your search to free shipping you'll find them kind of like this I just pasted the
majority of that search term in there clicked on free shipping and there we go
somebody else who got a buck 76 for the seam for the same 50 pieces or somebody
else has though 83 with free shipping you know you can find them it doesn't
take that much effort you don't have to buy it from the guy that I bought it
from especially since he's swept on shipping charges that's just not right
when there's so many others with free shipping okay camera on check you're not
stealing check package check says Ellie do light okay that is entirely
reasonable Andy is a singular cob LED a big one with some chips and a bridge
Rick let's get any closer so you can see up there it says AC hundred and ten
volts alive in a neutral over here we're gonna breed rectifier a zero one
resistor a k-8 a wire a capacitor another a little resistor over here
I can't read and Tai zu Mian and an 8-pin chip so I'm pretty confident this
is one of those direct AC powered LED cobs that big Clyde was playing with a
while ago he was playing with some that had that were obviously 220 because
being on that side of the ocean that's the voltage shit there that comes out of
the hole in the wall but this being me in North America
I ordered 110 foot one and well obviously I'm gonna try it I am in fact
finished soldering it's scabby soldering but it's soldering nonetheless I had to
bring out break out the larger iron the 35 watt none temperature controlled
ironed the this little guy here just wasn't cutting it as soon as I touched
it to that circuit board that aluminum backed heatsink built in kind of circuit
board it just froze even with this thing I had to just kind of gob it on there it
wasn't pretty but it's on there and I've got this guy just sort of teep down so
that it doesn't escape and try and kill us all so let's plug it in and see what
happens shields up oh man
that is binding that's yeah let me just shut that off
Wow there's two layers of anti-static bag let's dammit that's even bright but
yes it is it is bright that makes sense to be twenty watts of LEDs what's it
feel like it's getting fairly warm already it's not crazy hot yet but
obviously wouldn't want to run that without it being on some sort of a
heatsink but yeah Wow
that's crazy braid and I think this is the one I ordered a couple of similar
ones where I think this is and this one has some choices too but I think this is
it 110 volt 220 volt LED floodlight 20 30 50 watt cool or warm white cob chip
smart IC driver lamp from BBK HK 0 0 8 underscore 9 you know one of those names
it just rolls right off the tongue at the moment it says does not ship to
Canada that's probably because the post office on straight right now I received
this one a while ago and it ordered it even longer I go oh I haven't been
telling you about that this one took about 3 months to get here I'll do the
math and and include it at the end but yeah it took a while I did in fact pay
two dollars and five cents Canadian for it and I'm pretty sure I got the 20 watt
and cool white option so what do we have to say about it down here color
rendering are a 80 ok CRI maybe so not great 90 and above is pretty good 20 30
50 watts white cool white I guess is 6000 6500 Kelvin probably what I ordered
and warm white would be 28 3200 beam 180 degrees so I spend 10,000 hours it's a
little bit um housing yeah it's an aluminum backed heatsink air in the back
circuit board and to connect directly to 110 or 220 volts depending on which one
you bought okay space has been made I have been refreshed next thing in is LED
light that looks a lot like the previous package
it doesn't feel quite the same oh
because there's Boyd there's three of them in there oh okay
so obviously these two since they're panelists are going to be the same thing
as each other this one has four of these chips on the side here these ones each
have two let me get brighter ones okay well I guess I'll have to do this again
so now since I want to test all three of these because now I don't know what I
got exactly I'm about to get sketchy here so if you're allergic to sketchy
dangerous electronics electrical stuff please avert your eyes okay for those of
you that are left I'm doing this as safe as I can
oh I've still got my connection my neutral connection solder on there
I've taken the live connection off put it through one of these terminal blocks
that I just got which I assure you are properly rated for the voltage they are
in fact capable of 450 volts at 32 amps so that's not too sketchy I've got then
I'm going through my meter I'm using a good meter with the good leads not that
one which isn't cat anything rated what else okay I've got a switch on the power
bar so it's off right now and I'll just turn it on only when we're playing so I
will turn the switch on now this is live I will touch that briefly there get a
hold and turn it off okay we're safe so 156 milliamps out of that today's of
voltage is 123 123 volts time it's point one five six seven those
nineteen point two watts so that one's not lying to us it's essentially yeah
it's one do you want cool twenty what cool white I need a bit of Sharpie okay
now then I'll just quickly disorder that soldered on one of those other ones
hopefully it's not so ugly to do and we'll just test all them okay here's one
of the ones that has two of these driver chips so if that was twenty watts with
one two driver chips the options were twenty thirty and fifty so two driver
chips probably thirty and four driver chips probably fifty but we'll try it so
power on and contact that also looks like cool white I'll hold that 250 1
milliamp s-- 123 volts times 0.25 1 9 amps is in fact 30 Wow just a hair over
30 watts 30 watt cool white and I'm gonna guess this guy's 50 but we'll just
check it anyway power on contact stupidly bright I'm
shielding you from it but there you go that's obviously cool white hold blink a
couple of times that says 545 milliamps power that off wow that's actually hot
how long was that on for not you seconds and that's hot to the touch on the back
Wow and then 23 volts multiplied by point
five four five - where's equal button
67 ones Wow that's even hotter than it was promised to be that's performance so
which one is that that is this one down here when we go to show extra it just
goes to a whole bunch but there's your search term 50 watt white smart I see
LED Cobb blahblah any of these things I guess I'll just link to this search here
and you guys can carry on from there if you choose to now that I can't see any
more let's let's open the next one um digital voltmeter module it says
that's neat I wonder I think I ordered some more of those little that's not a
digital voltmeter module at all that is a soldering kit
oh-ho and I think it's one that I was hoping would arrive sometime before now
it's a christmas tree-- soldering kit
those guys you know you get the idea so you got two tree shapes circuit boards
an A and a B that a bag of LEDs one two three four different values of resistors
another circuit board for the base some components a bunch of transistors bunch
of capacitors power switch not some bolts three double-a battery box
and if you don't want to do that and we have a USB power cord with it itsy-bitsy
teeny-weeny plug on it is the mate for that in there
oh it is - okay well that should be fun and clearly I'm going to be doing this
in the next month because that's why I ordered it
DIY 3d Christmas kit flashing white LED circuit 3/7 colours Christmas tree gift
Emma from module fans five dollars and seventy six cents is what I paid for it
it was it it's pretty close anyway I again I didn't pay twenty five dollars
shipping I in fact paid free shipping and yeah there was the actual price for
43 American so it's actually gone down here 3/7 colors and I ordered these
seven colors one yes I did are there any instruction there's one
bag of LEDs and they weren't separated out so that will check the three color
one yeah and it's got you know you can actually see that they're red mean in
yellow LEDs the seven color one though they will call the same hmm that's
interesting where are we here they have above okay there's no instructions or
anything but that's fine we don't need that let's go back to those LEDs and see
what kind of magical LEDs those are
oscillation circuit from okay okay so there's just uh three pairs of
transistors and capacitors charging and it's just a ring oscillator basically I
think well find out when we do it so both these LEDs
what are they that we're doing seven colors out of them no this does all know
there's no no way that these are just change the reverse bias against forward
biasing are they but that would want to give you two colors or three if they put
an AC across them but I don't think it's a fancy enough circuit to do that
can we see down inside this Oh II ve so there's what this LED looks like and
there's stuff going on in there see it's a little chip on the left side and some
bond wires going here and there I can't see too well through its lands
but just make note of that now here is a normal LED there's just the two pieces
of metal work coming up and the little chip and a single bond wire in between
there so obviously there's something special happening inside there let's
just see what happens when you give it some power oh it's a slow flash
color-changing led wait now it's a fast flash color-changing led and now it's
back to slow I've never seen these on eBay but I have seen them in one other
place in these things from the dollar store I ripped one apart a while ago not
on camera sadly but just well there's the LED out of it and let's just power
this guy up from the lithium battery here at 3 volts cr2032 then you see it's
doing the same thing slow flashing for a while and then only she goes blinky
flashing do that for a bit and then it should go back to slow again there we go
so that's kind of neat I don't know I haven't seen like I said I haven't seen
those particular LEDs on eBay just as a standalone item but obviously they exist
otherwise this kit wouldn't have them I don't know whether I want a bunch of
stand-alones with those are not they're little bit garish when they get rocking
and rolling there anyway something fun to play with and as
I mentioned earlier I get billed coming real soon to a channel near you okay
there is all the stuff from this mailbag I guess I should go over the time the
shipping times because I keep forgetting to do that one I'm actually talking
about the things the Christmas tree it took six weeks to get here the bag of
purpley pseudo travel alert LEDs to 57 days these lever lock pseudo Wako we go
kind of things they're not actually we go brand but they're kind of a ripoff of
that they took 72 days and these LEDs I ordered off ordered three separate
orders i herded them all on the same day and I ordered them from what I thought
was separate cellars but they all turn out to come from the same seller and
they all took exactly three months and two days to get here again a wide
variety of timings I hope you enjoyed hope I didn't bind you too badly or
offend you oh and I really apologize for the alcohol abuse at the beginning I'll
try really hard not to let that happen again that's just not called for thanks
everybody for watching down in the comment section as usual and if you want
to talk about any of this stuff but please don't beat me up too bad even
though I deserve it for spilling my beer that's just so wrong
thanks as always for these mailbags to my generous patreon supporters it's not
too many of you I'm glad to have you as home board you make it a lot easier for
me to be able to afford to buy all this stuff and show it to everybody so thank
you as always and to the rest of you and everybody thanks for watching I will
talk to you again
