AliExpress unbagging joy - Bulk COB LEDs, "plasma sabre", Makita stuff and more

Another Santa-sack of technical goodies from AliExpress for us to explore.

These videos are not sponsored by AliExpress. I buy all these items myself.

Here are some links to the items. These are affiliate links, but that will not affect the price you pay.
Keep in mind that these products may not meet your country's standards.
Some listings may not work for some countries and some may just be sold out or disappear.

When paying on AliExpress, let the transaction complete before leaving the purchase page as otherwise the purchase may not go through.

I've since explored the circuitry in these and they are relying on the boost chip to limit the current, meaning it runs very hot (about 120C!). The op-amp is purely for the charge status indication.
