Inside a Shiny Probe head torch with detachable USB light.

- This rather bizarre head torch is actually a wearable power bank with a standard USB flashlight plugged in the front. It works quite well as a light and doubles up as a low output power bank that can power and charge other devices.
The brand is actually Probe Shiny, but shiny-probe is much easier to remember due to sounding slightly naughty.
Here's an eBay search that should find this thing if you want to get one. Target price is between $8 - $12 (USD). It's an odd set of search keywords based around an improbable intensity rating:-

Keep in mind that the unit is a bit of a jack of all trades but master of none. It works well as a head torch, but is made more complex by the 5V booster that allows it to charge and power other small loads. (800mA max, but probably better at 500mA or less.)
If you enjoy these videos you can help support the channel with a dollar for coffee, cookies and random gadgets for disassembly at:-

This also keeps the channel independent of TH-cam's advertising algorithms allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty. - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
That's actually pretty neat, I like it. It's an 18650 power bank and a headlight both in one. I'll bet it has amazing battery life.
I'm imagining someone walking around with that thing on their head, with an USB lead attached to the forehead charging a phone in their hands. For some reason I find that picture hilarious. I guess you could use the flashlight on the phone while charging for some torch-ception in the dark. Thank you for making these videos Clive, I don't think I'll ever get tired of watching you take apart cheap shitty (and sometimes not so shitty!) Chinese stuff.
@yehoutube Bad experiences with Nitecore - out of four bought, only two have lasted more than a year. Fenix seem a lot better but again the cost is quite a lot higher.
@yehoutube I know, I meant no disrespect. It's amazing that it's even possible to manufacture something like this and sell it for £10. I own some higher quality Chinese stuff too, Nitecore and Convoy torches for example. It's just that Clive tends to take apart the cheapest stuff and it's always entertaining.
Osenmosen, it's also known as a dork strap, or a cockhead hat.
@@osenmosen I bought 2 of the Convoy S2+ I think they are, from gearbest very good!
11:02 The product claims to be a "10,000 lumen" lamp. According to the Wikipedia article on lumens, this would equate to 100W of LEDs. Such things do exist, but you wouldn't necessarily want one strapped to your head.
and why not ???? this is an answer that needs questions! :O
Who not understand, Chinese Export Lumen very different, do not confuse with Arabic numbers!
True.
I had a small 10,000 lumen flashlight.
It would get really hot. I found this out when it the button turned it on in my pocket.
It was quite a surprise. Nothing then it was like having an ember on your leg.
What Would Photonicinduction Do?
@Dave Micolichek Gotta agree with that, 10000 lumens would be in the 3-4 Cree XHP70 emitter type range (or a single larger LED). I'm guessing it might be doable with 3 cool whites and high currents, 4 with lower currents in cool white or a more decent high CRI/neutral white using a bit more power. The smallest XHP70.2 torch I'm aware of is this one www.zebralight.com/SC700d-21700-XHP702-Neutral-White-High-CRI-Flashlight_p_233.html and using a Samsung INR21700-40T battery (rated for 35A continuous discharge) it would do that 3000 lumens for 1-2 minutes or so and then settle down to 2000 lumens with active cooling (or 900 lumens without a fan pointed at it).
So 4 18650 high drain cells or equivalent arrangement would probably be the minimum requirement, in addition those LEDs on the head mounted contraption would need a large thermal mass or active cooling of some kind. I don't think I'd want or need either of those in that form factor, no bulky heavy thing or a fan blowing air around near my head. Regular boring old "just 1000 lumen max" with decent lower output modes will do just for head mounted stuff.
Review of the zebralight sc700d with runtime graph: budgetlightforum.com/node/65105
That INR21700-40T cell is interesting though, a quick glance at lygte-info.dk/review/batteries2012/Samsung%20INR21700-40T%204000mAh%20(Cyan)%20UK.html seems to indicate it might be worth looking into for some stuff I had in mind, could potentially change a project I had in mind from multi cell 18650/big lipo battery requirement into a single quickly swappable 21700 cell for simplicity. Bit pricy at €8,45 each from NKON, but they do seem nice to have for a compact punchy battery.
First time I comment before finishing a video...
As a Dutch person living now for 5 years in mexico., I missed the oldtimers drop more then anything else.
In 2 month I'm going back to the Netherlands for vacation and this package of oldtimers makes me feel time is not going fast enough.
Just put a little round neodymium magnet on your flat top cells and it converts them to button top.
I was thinking something that lines myself. When I was going through my box of magnets just now to try to find one for somebody to see about doing.
You can also add a blip of solder if you're careful with the heat. 👍
*SCRUNCH* "thats promising :)" I love you clive, don't ever change.
LOVE your videos BigClive. You speak to my soul.
I suppose you would want a rear stop light when dealing with a shiny probe. Thank you for another interesting video.
Thats a pretty cool head light, iv never seen one with a usb light on it.
The colour of the torch part makes it look like something made by Bosch
Is a neat design. Having the usb makes it immensely more versatile.
Putting the word fire on the battery would make Clive buy one, clever marketing.
Lol his accent and voice, he’s the Bob Ross of small electronics
Are you pulling our leg? "Just search for shiny probe" .....Clive?
This is a modified strap-on. The lamp was obviously a marketing afterthought.
Ironically, I've just modified my old head torch to take a strap on.
The latest toy on the electronics market is the "Womanizer". USB chargeable rubber suction device. My guess is an aquarium pump housed in an ear inspection scope.
@@lostjohnny9000 I'll take a dozen.
"Shiny Probe"
Did buy one of these, similar but not with a shiny probe, a year or so ago, mainly for the USB light (because it’s Green of course!) and trying to purchase the light on its own was hugely expensive for some reason! Love the torch, the head bit is good for dog walking, although not hugely comfortable! Great review and tear apart though Clive, cheers sir... 👍🏻 😉 🐍
This is cool thank you for sharing, I love your inquisitiveness It reminds me of when I was a kid and liked to take things apart, Mainly watches, No disrespect I admire your style. Thank you.
You do great work. Please keep it up
Now i can't unsee that dot in the middle ;-)
Amazingly, the eBay listings all claim that this is a 10,000 lumen headlight. As if. I really think a seller can claim absolutely anything on eBay listings with impunity (believe me, I've complained often enough).
19:20 This is why I made the small investment in a magnifier/ring LED stand on my workbench. Helps for many things, not just electronics. No more destroying my teeth with flashlights!
Speaky of LED ring lights I was given an old fluorescent one that took I think it was called Circle Line bulbs like a T12 or something right there at circular Florissant a course the ballast was bad he said might be but you I'm sure you can do something so I did is I converted it to LED used original Outlet in even put in a USB charger couple switches a couple are gizmos and gadgets. And even an iron stand for my soldering iron and a spool holder for my solder.
Back in the seventies I had a Gismo. I see it has been "re" done. Looks better, actually, and works well.
Thanks again Clive...just ordered something again I don’t need but must have
I need to see somebody lying on a table, wearing this head strap, and then somebody plugs a long USB cable into their head.
A easy fix for the 18650 cell without the 'pip' is to place a small magnet on the positive.
Good video Big Clive
Gadget mountain... Hmm, I will indeed use this to describe my pile of Ali-express stuff in the future as well
Very nice head lamp
That battery branded "UltraFire" reminds me that I saw a line of computer power supplies by EVGA that bears the unfortunate name "SuperNova". I get what they're trying to convey, but... I'd prefer a "GentleEmber" power supply or something :P
What about Kindle Fire.
Remember all those laptops and Battery devices that use the same type of lithium battery that caught on fire such as an Infamous phones and other devices.
Its honest marketing they will catch fire and they have really small capacity and are not protected
What, you're gonna casually mention that you're sitting right next to a GADGET MOUNTAIN and then not show it to us?!
The whole house has turned into a bachelor-grade gadget mountain. But it looks like one of those TV programs about hoarders.
@@bigclivedotcom Idea for a long-time timelapse or stream? ;)
Nice oldtimers are really great :)
i just imagined somebody walking around with that thing on their head and a cable hanging out to charge their phone xD
It's the eyestalk from one of the humans that were converted to Daleks! Or an opportunity to cosplay as one of them.
Hahahaha the Autodrop........ Remko is a boss for sending you that..
Thanks to your other video, I now always think of the charging port cover as a "piss-flap." LOL
If you have an 18650 with a flat top that won't make contact with your device, you can use a thin neodymium magnet to add that "button top".
Torches... power banks... the wonderful Big Clive! .... how’s the Dutch candy?...
The Dutch candy ... He is not worried about eating it and he has the munchies..lol
Oldtimers are the best "drop" in existence
Sitting here bingeing Big Clive and wondering what's wrong with my furnace just doesn't sound like usual, hit pause 😄 just hearing big Cs furnace.
1 MHz operating frequency... perfect to wipe out any nearby AM / MW radio.
Are any of those wavelengths even still usable with the advent of cheap switchmode power supplies with massive compromises in electrical noise and safety to jam them into tiny lamp bases?
@@bigclivedotcom I have a USB car adaptor that even wipes out FM.
Yes. I still listen to several MW stations for news and weather reports. FM is only music.
What do you think about the 5G network and possible health effects. Or is it nothing new?
@@keiths-teeth Every new wireless system has those "causes cancer", "kills the children" and "is hotline to satan" going for it.
When you stand in front of the antenna on a pole, that could be bad.
The routers, phones and whatever else, no chance that is going to do anything. Too little power.
love these small usb lights 😉🔦💡
I've got big hulking power power bank that use in emergencies I'm looking for a decent one so I can get locally without having to go online any clue as to where one might be able to get it in the United States without going online...
Also I remember Dollar Tree used to sell these lights that looks like a USB book light on a stalk all flexible silicone housing with a LED array on a aluminum back circuit board not a cob type chip arrangement you're with a gel but individual white LEDs surface mount 1 individual resistor for the whole board.i bout a tun of them just for the LED boards.
Has anyone had experience with a Dollar Tree Sunbeam brand electrical equipment they used to have those all three Outlet power strip quote on quote which was actually more like a power strip Liberator with three Outlets in a small female section which by the way those can be taken apart and put on a longer cord and also there's a project I'm working on right now does new power strips that have through there that turn on when the current exceeds 15 what's on the control receptacle it has four switched Outlets controlled by that and to receptacles that's or unswitched.
I am in the process of reverse engineering it so that I can add a CAT5 cable so that I have an output when there's power present can turn on or off a said about let's remotely and also tell when the current is being drawn from that control master receptacle and even more and also I will be having those to be used with another cable connected to a switch box in receptacle it's still spending as much doing that with a j a junction box and receptacles. And heavy cable.
I followed you on another account so all my videos were unmatched that's how much I love Big Clive
Clive that light on the back of the unit is to keep people from walking into you when walking at night on trails.
Douglas Campbell If it was slightly stronger, you could use the setup as front AND rear lights when cycling or skateboarding at night.
I just saw you on the SMA channel 5 mins ago. Cool. Sometimes the lateral connections of You Tube are amazing....
Hey using Google somehow to watch your content.
I like to just relax and watch someone else tinkering in their workshop. It turned out that Eric O watches my channel too.
@@bigclivedotcom He is a good guy. I have fixed cars for a while so i understand
the banter. A path i gave up on for many reasons. I fix my own and friends and family now. No more than that. His shop is maybe 3 hours west of me.......
@@bigclivedotcom Julian posted a cool little circuit a while ago - from 1980.
not sure if foxy would wear such things but I do like the orange bit on the strap !
The signal light on the back could be a help for cyclists mounting the whole thing on their helmets, too. Flashing red LED as a backup if their regular tail light is damaged or out of power. Enough to keep you out of trouble with the boys in blue until you can get home, at least
Shall we "HOIK IT OUT?" What could possibly go wrong! The word HOIK, Meaning: To rip out forcefully. Love Big Clive's sayings.
Listening on headphones and it sounds like I can hear a tumble drier running in the background...
You're right. I was drying some overalls in the background.
We never had a tumble drier until we moved to North Wales (the land where nothing dries). I imagine the IoM is much the same!
Merci pour la video 👍
You "can" use those flat top batteries ... if you get some of that flat tab wire [the stuff they use to make 18650 power packs with] and fold it [to a size that is similar to the battery top] a couple of times you can jamb that folded tab in between the positive connector and the flat top positive of the battery ... close the lid and away you go ... the spring pushing against the other end of the battery should hold the folded tab in place ... and so should the back of the case.
You could even change the positive connectors in the case for one that has a nipple ... or a spring.
I bought the USB flashlight part on its own and intend upgrading the LED to a 10w at some point in the future [as a project].
Fascinating. Nicely built. Wonder if it can support a stronger LED.
Any Lithium cell with a brand name containing 'fire' will be a recycled and relabelled cell.They usually have low capacity, often only a few hundred mAh.
Alpkit make nice headtorches!
You can use neodymium magnets(I use 6x1 or 6x2mm) to make flat tops work in button top compartments. Of course it's not suitable for high drain since the heat will destroy the magnet, but something pulling maybe 3A or less works out nice, and can be bought in packs of 10-100 for next to nothing
Autodrop is the brand, they make all kind of 'car' themed liquorice and winegums. It's also sold at gas/petrol stations, hence the name and theme.
I personally like the Cadillacs from (van) Autodrop.
I guess this would also work as an 18650 charger
Probably best use for this pile of..... 18650 charger with a 0.1 W led torch....
Ok. Cool little lamp, but why again were searching "shiny probe"?
Just kidding. Thanks again BC!
You know what's a load of fun? Put two 18650s in with one of them backwards :o)
pfft
@@joshmbrown42 also fwoomb.
@@dimitar4y ...and then quite a lot of $%^^££"!!!!!! :)
Even two cells, one at 4.2V and the other at 3V would be interesting. Things might get a little toasty...
The negative springs light up (glow white hot) like your Grannies 1950's electric fire on a winters day - LETHAL - (Accidental - been there/done that) its like two giant vape coils that melt the battery container in seconds. I have no idea why something that dangerous could be sold !!
@ 20:00 the vice was begging in the corner of your room to let it show it's knowledge
While a good idea in theory, I think that the runtime/power efficiency losses of converting the battery voltage up to 5V and then dissipating the excess 2V to run the LED is pretty inefficient versus just running it directly off of the 3.7V of the battery. I would rather it just had a normal headlamp on the front with the USB port off to the side so you can charge while also using the lamp.
+1 for mentioning my home town.
I've found the USB light module itself on amazon for $7 and ebay for $8. not a bad little flashlight module
Very good 👌
Hmm both rear box and lamp could be optimized with one board each (and different molded parts). In the rear, the charging port and chips could be on a wider rear board with just the two battery plates protruding. Middle divider could be part of box moulding (rear LEDs slightly lower), making it just box, PCB and rubber lid. In the lamp, the controller could be on the Aluminum LED PCB with the zooming ring moving the lens instead of the LED. This saves one PCB and two wires, and avoids making the cross for linear movement (turning the lens causes no problem). So just bottom housing, PCB with plug, LED, button and chip tucked in with a drop of thermally conducting glue, lens ring screwed on and the lens tucked into the lens ring.
The signal light at the back acts like a cars rear brake light. Mainly for warning people behind you in the dark that you are there or whilst you are in the mines during a power cut.
Surely people behind would see the front light anyway.
In case they missed the bright light of the head lamp itself...
The red led on the back allows following along a trail in the dark without using the main light.
@@vadhakara I love they'd even care about them being intrinsically safe.. since they're using explosives and used to run carbide lamps! but they would be useful for caving if you had a backup.
I bought one of those clip on the hat lights and I really like the light but that little chip kept draining the battery so I performed surgery and removed the chip and all it's friends and added a current limiting resistor and now all s good.
I'd quite like to see a tear down of a NEBO Slyde King flashlight. I absolutely love them and I want to know how well they are built because I know first-hand that they will take abuse. I never was brave enough to take mine apart because I use it daily
Find it kinda funny how ideas precede trends. Years ago when the first aluminium China-direct zoom-able lights came out, a friend of mine took apart one, ditched the handle and put an USB on the back with a little machined plate/spacer. Kinda said he's wasting his time, you're better off with one or the other, or what are you going to plug it in? Your laptop? Aaand fast forward, they are super popular now and a neat idea because you can plug on in a power bank and make a flashlight or the above.
I bet someone is charging their phone with it 😂
I also have bought a few headlight.
I'd be interested to know the actual switching speed of the boost, and whether if varies by load. I suspect that perhaps the document means that the chip is designed to be able to switch that fast, with the frequency as well as the duty cycle determined by the inductance, capacitance, and load.
By the way, if you have a scope, a square wave source (scope output for probe compensation adjustments, then you are equipped to at least estimate inductor values, by measuring the time constant. (Or use it in a Colpitts oscillator with a frequency counter.)
And, as long as I'm writing, where, on the internet, would you go for 18650 cells of reliably good quality (not a little cell in a big jacket, not old cells removed from equipment, recently manufactured rather than having years on the distributors shelf, since capacity does degrade)? Of have I missed a video that you've already done?
it seems when loaded the boost converter just stops switching and just passes battery voltage straight through.
Clive,
I have a small electronic item that cost me too much to have quit almost immediately. But it did.
Is it possible to send it to you for whatever you see fit?
Why not just say what it is directly? .-.
Also, no warranty? You get 1 year warranty usually.
There's a lot going on in that headtorch. (ooft, the RFI - wave an AM radio near it for me, BC ) I don't think any of these lights with a USB plug on the back are going to be very robust though - all that waggling about of the USB connector :o( And for a headtorch, the light could simply fall out just when you need it most....But, I do like the adjustable lens on the light, and the cheapness, and the idea. Electrically speaking, I hate to see any kind of battery cells being put in parallel though - just makes me nervous, but in this case, it's a bit idiot proof at least :o/ Thanks for showing Big Clive.
i wanna see someone make and sell 18650 cells and call them big bang or firestarter.
You can use a small magnet on the end of those flat 18650's to make them work in that battery holder.
Yes even I said that but this is beginning to get redundant redundant there must be five or more people we were more the same basic called mint let's just make some other comments instead of those
I’ve gotta stop watching Clive videos at breakfast - My pot of tea’s stewed AGAIN'
I had the torch unit arrive today and on the Ruideng it measures just 2W and not the stated 3W
That detachable LED light doesn't look too secure to me - surely it could easily fall out when in use?
The reason there are a lot of 18650's with fire in there name stems from the brand Surefire. They supplied lights to the military (and gun nuts) and had quite the reputation for reliable products.
So when the Chinese companies started to make copies of the Surefire lights, they kept the fire part - Ultrafire, Trustfire, Solarfire...etc.
The early Ultrafire 18650's were good batteries with genuine capacities, the same for Trustfire. Sadly that didn't last long and then the counterfeit batteries flooded the market, they could buy rolls of shrinktube to cover 18650's in the markets of Shenzen and then make any crappy battery look like what was previously a reputable brand.
/Rambles of a recovering flashaholic :D
"Recovering flashaholic" Yeah right. I bet you still make flashlight impulse purchases.
Annoying blinky mode is for when you're bicycling and drivers are too busy talking on their phones or snorting coke off the dash or whatever. When they crush you under their wheels they don't have the excuse that they didn't see your lights.
Love your work ❤ tho it's time to move on from lights 💡
That is my favorite candy :) :)
Someone has to put the words torch and flashlight in proximity and await the indignation, so I thought I'd help out. My elderly french neighbour will sometimes refer to a torch as "pile" (battery, dating from Volta's Pile, perhaps?) and sometimes as "chandelle" (candle). Amusing to be asked to take a look at someone's inoperative candle. The icing on the cake is that "une batterie" can be a battery, set of saucepans or drum kit. Tricky for alexa, I imagine.
shiny probe tourch.. was execting a alien reference
Would putting two cells into the holder affect the performance of the usb output at all?
Hmm... So I could put a powerbank with belt clip to charge the headlamp part wich then has a USB extension going to the lamp part? NICE!
That could happen or just use a powerbank to charge 18 650 s so if you need 18 650 for something else you plug the headlamp portion the actual lamp is the power bank in the extension and usually 18 650s the power of the other device.
Free energy!
Weeeel. It depends if the two will play nicely together. I'm trying to find the best (cheapest) way to power a TS80 soldering Iron from any type of battery I have to hand. Basic components are a 3-30v up/down buck boost converter and a 3-20v QC3 controller
In theory I should be able to use anything from 2xAA cells up to a s4 lipo - and it works with all my batteries, with one exception.
The Poundland 4000mAh Power Geek power bank that BigC featured 3 months ago seemed a good investment, I bought 2 and they've been great, until I plugged this buck boost in. the BB's display just starts flashing on and off and nothing comes out.
If I bypass the power geeks 3.6-5v boost - it works fine - but that also bypasses the protection which I'm reluctant to do because the load is quite high. I've not had time to try and work round ... but it just shows that there can be compatibility issues with some combinations.
Clive, have you ever taken apart a laptop battery for the cells? Would love a video of you doing just this
There is plenty of other stuff in her other videos about doing all that on TH-cam you know and yes I've done it myself. Imma do it yourself for that is disabled with limited income so a lot of stuff a build is with salvage parts including you know those electric blanket controllers the 101 to work horde and sometimes two units or just one in the three or four wires house those are handy to make controls for things if you toggle switches or what. Bow multiple circuit controller of course put in a fuse.
TheLastPost Funny, I would rather take it apart to replace dead cells. Salvaging a lap top from a dead battery saves a lot more than salvaging a battery from a dead laptop.
Now I'm curios what that option switch might do. Do I have to order one of there? :)

1970 Fort Lewis Washington, U.S. Army Basic Training - the drill instructors issued us each two pieces of glow in the dark tape, we were instructed on how to mount it on the back of our helmets, the proper distance apart, and hight above the rim etc. So once it was taped to our camouflaged helmet covers, we discovered why such a silly thing was issued. We went for one of the Army's favorite exercises, a 5 mile march, in the night, in the dark, in the dark forest on the back side of Fort Lewis. The reason for the tape? So we could follow our fellow soldiers at the right distance, where we could just see the separation of the tape, thus knowing we were going the right direction at the right speed, and if, perhaps the tape suddenly vanished? Well stop and don't march off that damn cliff! Perhaps that is the reason for the tail light on the head gear.
Could you try what happens when you enable the "option" option?
Ultrafire ewe alot of repurposed cells. , not the worst but nothing like finding a flat head laptop cell inside some of those (not all). Found blue and purple so far... Usually I've gotten those with the flats and they work. not sure if there are different flats or not.. so only protected cells I have / had were the knocks from ultrafire some red some yellow
Big Clive says not too bad.

I bought just the detachable USB light. I wanted to turn it on or off by supplying a 5v to it instead of pressing the button. It does work but after awhile, it doesnt work anymore and the button must be press again in order to turn it on. I wonder why is that and if theres a way I can make it work by just turning on or off my 5v supply? Any help would be greatly appreciated
As far as I can gather from previous videos, the reason is that the power supply you have is switching off, due to the drain being bellow a certain level. Clive mentioned this in a few of his videos. Basically, if you aren't drawing enough current constantly, the power bank thinks there is nothing connected to it and disables the output 🤔
The 3Ah Rating of the Lithium Cells is probably based on calculations with the Head having 10000 Lumen
Clive have you tested those Ultrafire cells? The reason i ask is they are notoriously poor quality, there was a video on here once where a guy took a dremmel to one & inside he discovered some grey,cement looking, powder around a AA battery!
Also their rating bear no relation to the label, i avoid anything with Fire in the title but have you tested yours, have they improved?
Clive, 1x3mm tiny disc magnets, $5/150 delivered. Pop one on a flat top 18650 and it will work well enough at low loads. That looks like a counterfeit Ultrafire, at one point every UF 18650 on ebay and Amazon were counterfeits. Every one of them.
I have actually heard something about that for what friends.
MAgnets are good outside of a case, but a little alloy scrunched ball does wonders.
Ally or aluminum foil also works great for when you only have AAA batteries but need Double A's and you don't need much power. We're fixing something that has a battery holder gets damaged but bring broken off but there's a bit of a stub left to connect the battery using aluminum foil.
torch in the mouth to use all 3 "hands"..i feel you 100% and clive, sry to mentioning but a measurement of the LED-Part would have been interesting, how much this thing draws. keep on, great videos!

If Only he had some sort of device he could strap on his head, that had a light in front, so that he could have both hands free while lighting the area in front of him to see what he was doing 🤔
