The cheapo "starry" lamp. Good base for lamp projects.

These lamps started off so well, but now they've kinda made them a bit too cheap. The first units had about 50 LEDs and these ones now have only 20. The original glass globe has been replaced with a plastic one in various styles.
I completely mangled the base trying to get the globe to separate from the base on the first unit I dismantled, but as you can see in the video I discovered they're easy to take to bits and reassemble non-destructively.
The power supply is a very simple two transistor one. Not very efficient, but does the job and is very low power anyway.
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 YouTube's advertising algorithms allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty.
