New customer has placed a order but I am banned (lol) from posting anything about the job, it's a gift for a special person. I should be OK to post about her bonus night light.
Bonus gifts are usually smaller around 6 x 4 but in this case I'll make it A4 size.
Customer made the above choice so already printed that on A4 glossyphoto paper.
Never ever in all my years going there have I seen it so crowded. Gave up doing the usual right turn which was backed up past Borg street, pulled out went past and U-turned back into the left turn which itself was backed up but not to bad but still took a while before I handed over my dollar coin. Inside was a sea of vehicles right across to the factories, worked my way around to the back carpark and all good - last photo.
This is the left turn and much better that the right which is backed up way past Borg street - WTF
I'm in but hardly moving, still had to wait for quite some time...why is it like this ?
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.
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.
