This is quite a neat little light that physically plugs into a socket like a night light, but has a rotating lensed cover with three LEDs underneath. Claimed to be universal voltage and 3W it actually turned out to draw 1.5W and have a basic capacitive dropper inside with the rectified DC being split between the LEDs and a bypass resistor, then all going through the motor.
Very simple, but it works quite well, even if the motor speed is a bit ferocious.
