The trashiest electronic channel on YouTube. We test and use affordable electronic soldering equipment and tools to build, teardown, modify (and sometimes destroy) random electronic stuff. A British TV licence is NOT required to view my videos or almost every other video on YouTube. Many of the builds and projects featured here operate at full mains voltage and carry a high risk of shock and fire. As such they're really intended for either entertainment value or for those who do similar stuff. The videos are generally uncensored and may contain tasteless jokes, profanities and even blood and electric shocks when things go wrong. So just like a normal workshop really. So kick back, grab a beer and enjoy the ride.

Video Description
On one hand this germicidal UVC fitting is quite well made, and on the other hand it has minimalist circuitry with a hidden trap. The output power of this germicidal light is low, but still enough to cause skin irritation and temporary surface damage to your eyes. (Arc-eye. Feels like sand in your eyes.) I'd guess it's designed for sterilisation of small enclosures. The unit can take the ozone producing version of the GTL3 lamp too if you can source a real one. Never use UVC germicidal light in areas that pets, humans or plants can be exposed to it. This unit came from Banggood.

A video just about the GTL3 lamp:- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBrLeOVBCaE 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. #ElectronicsCreators
