The tube is also run on AC which is also good. But as always with these types of mini-light, they start the tube cold-cathode style which causes rapid electrode damage. And any loose connection causes arcing and instantly visible electrode sputtering stains inside the tube. This is made somewhat worse by the very sloppy electrical construction which ensures bad connections. Very interesting to see how they cut corners and got a low component count with standard parts though.
