It's visually unpleasant and has such hideously underrated components that it's only fit for the bin. The circuitry is the most minimalist capacitive dropper possible, with a 100nF cap (with 820K discharge resistor in parallel) in series with three LEDs wired as a single LED and a pair in inverse parallel so it alternates between one LED and two on each half wave of the mains cycle, and a 330 ohm resistor to limit inrush current. Sadly the capacitor which is suspiciously small only has a voltage rating of 100V which is far short of the peak UK mains voltage (230/240V AC) of around 330V. Yeah, rated at less than a THIRD of the supply voltage. In use the light flickers very visibly due to the alternating between the LEDs on each half cycle. Such a shame. With a tiny bit more effort it could have been made much nicer.
