bigclivedotcom on OdyseeVery slim mains LED driver for tiny downlightsThis is a tiny low power LED downlight with a very interesting power supply that has been sized to pass through a very small (18.5mm) hole. With a suitably small connector. that allows the lights to be serviced without needing access to the area above the ceiling.The little downlight is also quite well designed with a retaining system that is less likely to damage a plastered ceiling.Directly imported mains powered items should never be regarded as being safe to handle when powered. Always work with power off or wear suitable gloves while...

From the strange concertina style heatsink to the absolutely basic LED panel this unit is the epitome of a disposable item.On a plus note, there are two separate LED and regulator circuits, so if one LED section goes open circuit the unit will still light at half the intensity, and the reduction in heat may prolong the life of the remaining LEDs.While the LED panel is very typical of modern lights, the heatsink is possibly the first I've seen in this style.

2025-11-2006 minbigclivedotcom on OdyseeThis bulb blew a fuse - let's open itThese little GU10 LED downlights have been surprisingly reliable, but when they fail they do so with enough of a pop to take out a fuse. Part of the issue might be the electrolytic capacitor being snugged up against the power supply chip, with the risk of an elevated temperature.One of the annoying things about LED bulbs failing like this is that they can make it tricky to find the faulty light that is causing the breaker to trip. Especially if there are a lot of downlights on one circuit.I modified this...
