shows how much you dont understand PPP.
i got a less than 5 dollar clamp amp meter from the same factory, aneng, and its pretty accurate and enough o fulfill my needs.
the reason i need to get another one was because i cheaped out for a few dime less without reading too much about the spec and the one i got have a resolution of 1 volt.
so yea, need another one with at lease one decimal resolution. -
2023-09-02 at 8:38 AM UTCit would seem they changed paint and also decided they didnt need soft paint brushes anymore because the paint didnt need soft brushes according to the powers that be in the painting world... welll as a painter I say FUCK THE POWERS THAT BE IN THE PAINTING WORLD!!!
I want soft brushes!! so I went to Ebay and ordered 8 new soft brushes -

2023-09-02 at 9:09 AM UTCi bought a 240v warm white led light bulb thinking i can mod it into my bike because warm white led head lights are pretty hard to source thinking the leds in it are low voltages leds that are compatible with 12v.
to my surprise the transformer in it is actually a step up transformer that turn 240v AC into something like 260v DC.
how could this be.
now i need to check individual smd leds to see their actual working voltage. -

you don't need that kind of voltage for any LED I know of, usually you use that + ballast for gas tubes that need a spark to get started -

unless that's one of those LED bulbs meant to go in a car's headlamp socket, like a stick with 20 or so high output LEDs
I don't really know anything about them but I imagine they need a lot of power to run constantly -

2023-09-02 at 9:30 AM UTCI bought a metal straw off ebay, for my smoothies and cause my plastic reusable one is stained.
I dont I paid for postage either so it was a steal.

just quickly looking it up those are referred to as 'corn lightbulbs' because each of those LEDs is a 'COB' LED, meaning Chip OnBoard, meaning the LED does its own voltage regulation

they probably need about 3v each -

i measured the output that goes directly to the entire strip of leds and it measured about 260+ volts.
not sure if the leds are linked serially or how.
need to test individual led. -

2023-09-07 at 4:16 PM UTC1w cree leds. paid like +- 50 cents for 10 of them.
not as bright as the 3w ones but theyre too cheap to ignore. my plan is to fit as many of them as possible into a vintage, all metal torchlight and a 18386 or whatever those 3.7v li-on batteries are called.
i'll be using old, unused and hardened silicon sealant as the battery holder by cutting it to size and carve a little hole in it. -

2023-09-07 at 4:30 PM UTCThinking about going buying a 2TB SSD from microcenter at lunch and sticking Windows 11 on it for my main PC. Currently have Windows 10 and the upgrade keeps failing because of an issue to do with how the partitions are laid out or some shit...I researched it last time I tried and the solution was to basically do a fresh install.
...that's a royal pain in the ass when you have everything "Just nice"...if I'm going to do that I might and well stick it on one of these.
