great video, uncanny timing just the other night i was just thinking of a device marketed in the 90's called a "green plug." you plugged your ac or fridge into this box and then plug that into an outlet it was supposed to save money. i know some people said it fried their old fridge, others would say did save them a little. i dont trust these devices. the power co charges based on what rate plan you have, houses usually just by kWh. my garage has a commercial meter and we get graped they charge us for how much we use *at once* so if we use the compressor, heat, door openers and other stuff at the same time the bill is terrible. sorry for the long comment good video though
Heh I liked your tear down part of the video, definitely reminded me of big Clive or diode gone wild. so that PCB in there is purely for the mounting and power regulation for the LEDs. The glass component is a fuse, the big burgundy component is a dropper capacitor for the LEDs, the blue device. I’m pretty sure it’s also a capacitor, something to do with circuit isolation or something like that. I also saw some surface mount resistors on the board, those may have been for current limiting the LEDs. I sure as heck. Hope at least two of them were utilized for discharging those capacitors, though. Be careful disassembling dodgy stuff like that after it’s been powered on, who knows if those caps actually self discharge!

@@TechnologicalHeritage I should have been safe while filming the video and shorted out the contacts of the capacitors.
