About

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

First correction - the ACRICH (AC-rich) chips have a 2V analogue input, so a microcontroller can drive that directly without level shifting. The power factor is a stunning 0.99 due to the way the LED current rides the sinewave in sync with the voltage.
