https://stream.echo6.co/videos/watch/f6111f2f-2f3c-48f3-b4a7-e0ae18eb0adf I think it's probably about 8 years since I first made this LED lamp. It was a shameless exercise to ram as many LEDs into the smallest base I could find. I managed 50 and powered them from a simple capacitive dropper with no smoothing capacitor to save room in the base. It uses a very low 2W of power and runs the LEDs at around 10mA. In recent live streams on the BigCliveLive channel:- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClIzWmVzGPm2zhNT2XZ-Rkw I've been having random lamps in the background, so I thought I'd give this one a makeover with colour changing LEDs just before I did a stream. It's an interesting effect because the LEDs prefer a smoothed supply so they can keep their position within the sequence. With the choppy unsmoothed supply they sometimes randomly revert back to the starting colour in the sequence (red) especially when exposed to bright external light. The original LEDs used in it were a mixture of warm and cold white LEDs removed from cheap imported Christmas lighting strings. If you enjoy these videos you can help support the channel with a dollar for coffee, cookies and random gadgets for disassembly at:- http://www.bigclive.com/coffee.htm This also keeps the channel independent of YouTube's advertising algorithms allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty.
