LED lights x 3 with RCU

As posted I want to modify one of the lights to power LED string or rice lights and if it works out I can offer this as a lighting option with remote control for the night lights.

As posted this is what I got from the market for $10.



















Pulled one light apart, unsoldered the battery wires and held up to the desk lamp to get some idea of the PCB component and track layout. Interesting that the five LED's are in parallel with the IC switching the negative through the usual current limiting resistor. Cut the track on the LED side of that resistor and connected a length of six string LED's

Lights off..



Turn on lights with remote control.

The question now is how much current can I pull from that IC which has no identification on the package. Enough for now I'll take some more measurements tomorrow and see how it pans out. I need to get that lab power supply.

Tyrrells Sweet Chilli & Red Pepper Chips 165g

Since the supermarkets dropped this flavor a couple of years ago been searching far & wide for another supply source - with no luck.


Was in Wheelers Hill Woolworths when a lady staff person waltzed up to me and said...I saw what your looking for in the Reject Shop - really. Most stores had sold out but found some at Rowville so grabbed what they had left - 12 bags.

Well...looks like I won't have to stock up to that extent here they are again - all good.

Post parcel tray sign - 2

From the first session created the sign in MS Word and put it in a clear plastic sleeve. Here we finish the job.



Stapled the top and bottom overlap to the back and found some black shelving edge trim to enclose the whole thing. Used a hacksaw and mitre box to cut the 45's.

Somewhere over the rainbow

Just caught another one.
