  • This is a totally amazing device! So many purposes. It contains a camping lantern, a flashlight and a fan. It also works as a USB power bank to recharge your phone. It's rechargeable and it can be charged using a solar panel or a mains plug...... But wait !!! There's mains voltage in my iPhone metal body !!! The problem is that the circuitry is not isolated from the mains. Including the USB port. This is one of the most insanely dangerous products I've seen so far.
    WARNING:
    -Do not purchase or use this lantern.
    -Never do what you see in this video.
    -Risk of electric shock and death.
    -Risk of fire.
    -You do everything at your own risk and responsibility.

      Clive's one didn't have a fan & was gold... still if this sort of thing is allowed in China they must have no safety standards at all... or the manufacturer is ignoring safety standards for export.

    • @simontay4851

      Correct, China don't have any safety standards. When building very tall sky scrapers, workmen routinely work at the edge of the top floor without any harnesses of any kind. Just watch any sky scraper documentary.

    • @SianaGearz
      @SianaGearz 6 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      Actually electrical standards were equalised in China to European Union in 2006. So this is not legal to sell to consumer in China, and they can pretty much chop your head off if you do.
      However, it can be exported and it's even legal to sell in some various poorer Asian, African and South American countries.
      There are a few more possibilities. Like new old stock of an item made before 2006, or some nearly accidental small batch shed made item, that has been found to be illegal after it was made, so someone stepped forward to resolve the issue and recycle the hot goods for free... by selling them abroad.

    • @zx8401ztv
      @zx8401ztv 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Mylity 66, sounds like you have no earth to your p.c, if it isn't present the mains filter in the p.c will put half mains voltage on the case (and usb cables).

    • @Mylity66
      @Mylity66 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah i don't have the best grounding on that socket (its basically connected to the socket metal housing making ground contact with the wall, i know i know, thats garbage to say the least) but here is something i've noticed, the PSU i had before had 3 times less amperage on the outputs, i would still get shocked with the case and USB sockets but it was more like a gentle shake, didn't hurt at all, like a tickle. After i installed my new PSU (62A on the +12 rail is all i can remember from the label) the shocks can be fairly painful, but then again, nowhere near as bad as touching 110v AC directly.
      What do you gather from that?
      And yeah, i will ground the socket eventually, i do have proper copper wire grounding in my house i just don't have the length of cable necessary to do the job quite yet.

    • @zx8401ztv
      @zx8401ztv 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Mylity 66, i don't think the shock level is anything to do with the power rating of the psu.
      There is a mains filter connected to the psu mains input socket, it's to stop interference from the psu getting into the mains wiring of your house.
      Inside filter there are two identical capacitors connected to (earth), one goes to mains (Live) and the other goes to mains (Negative).
      If you have no earth to the psu/computer case the capacitors will feed 1/2 of the mains voltage to the case, that's because the case should have been earth and safe.
      If the live capacitor fails and goes short, you get (FULL MAINS VOLTAGE) on the case of your computer and any item connected to it.
      (That earth is important, your life is important.)

    • @Mylity66
      @Mylity66 6 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Worst shock i've gotten was one of those cheap-ass mains plug soldering iron (just the iron with a mains plug on the end of the cord), it was of unfortunately low quality and one day i plugged it to socket and the thing literally exploded, all the copper from the wire just jumped out of the insulation and wrapped itself around my arm.
      I was there a good 50 seconds before my girlfriend kicked me from the side. I had jokingly told her before to do that if she saw me getting electrocuted since there were no breakers in her house, just a big switch behind a locked box.
      Lessons learned:
      *Plug-in soldering irons are a liability.
      *Always have a switched, surge protected, fused power bar for your tools. Plug in first, switch later.
      *Never use powered tools when alone.
      *Instruct those around you what to do if something bad happens.
      *Mains hurt when they don't kill. i got lucky.
      *install grounding and circuit breakers on the mains of the house. Or at least fuses.
      I didn't knew those big caps were connected to the chassis. I'm usually very wary around them, i'm taking your warning very seriously now. Got my PC's regulator connected to an extension cord going to a properly earthed socket now. I'll get the wire to properly earth the wall socket sometime next month.

    Incredible! It's only the minimum so that the user can "try" it on the store, nothing more. No lithium batteries for such a product nowdays is a scam, incredible that there is no charge current and voltage limitation, no resistor for LEDs OMG! Thanks the shitty battery high internal resistance to dissipate the voltage drop! The range might be maximum few minutes and seconds for the phone. No switching mode power supply for an USB plug... Just a capacitor to limit mains current and a battery to "limit" the voltage, if the battery is disconnected, bye bye the phone x) The fan is a poor DC motor, the solar cell must produce just enough current to light up the "charging LED". And 1 chance out of 2 to get the live wire, great gadget!

      Converting it to Li-Ion with a TP4056 charge control board on the input would make it safer and give a longer runtime... and adding a boost converter to the USB outlet, to bring the voltage up to 5V, would make charging devices a whole lot easier without using crappy 600mAh (maximum!)

Now repeat the same experiment but this time hold a pcb board of an electronic Device such as a calculator.you can measure the voltage between the calculator and the mains and it will be 220VAC and the calculator runs fine because it's at the mains potential but curries no mains current due to the absence of the completion of circuit ( ground or another mains terminal). Now bring that tough calculator and let it touch the both mains terminals and it'll go boom because the mains circuit is completed and mains current is flowing recklessly through the poor calculator circuit.

    I think if it was not for the USB connector, this would not be such a bad device. It is enclosed in plastic, after all.
    I don't think it would do a very good job of charging a phone or similar, as the 3.75V NiMH battery is only just slightly higher than a fully spent 3.6V Lithium cell. So there would be no great loss of functionality (and at least some improvement in terms of safety) if you simply disconnected the USB port.
    Having said all that, those (AAA?) cells probably would not last long on a single charge; so if you ever actually went camping with this fan / light after making it less unsafe, your tent probably will just end up too hot and in the dark .....

      The capacitive dropper has a 3 kΩ impedance limiting the current to 70 mA on the AC side. So 100 mA peak from the charger.

    This lantern would be quite safe if correctly connected with a polarised mains plug such as the one used in the UK and some other countries. Then the 1uF capacitor drops all the voltage and the circuit never sees more than a volt relative to neutral. At least until there's a failure such as the capacitor failing short circuit, then watch out. It still wouldn't be legal to sell this in the UK, there has to be double insulation between the mains and anything touchable.
