Big light, but it's PISH! (With schematic)

An AA (Automobile Association) light that was sent by Robert for our exploration.

The circuitry is minimalist and interesting, the LED mounting and reflector are good, but the battery itself is a bit lacklustre, and the intensity rapidly declines with battery voltage. The choice of a lead-acid battery is odd. If I was being cynical I might ponder whether this was China's way of getting rid of its "toxic" metals.

Still lots of scope for hacking and customisation though.

This is also the video where I realised that the word "PISH" is very "Glasgow". To quote:-
"Pish. Translation: Urine. However, in Glasgow and other parts of Scotland, it's a common word for something that evokes a negative vibe."

This light is "Complete and utter PISH!"

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.
