Inside another "5W" LED lamp.

In a refreshing contrast to most of my other videos, I don't actually care much for this lamp at all. The front is a little bit too diffused to the point of blocking a lot of the light output, and the fact the PCB is glued in is a little bit tacky.
It uses what I'd describe as an older style general purpose capacitive dropper with a surprisingly huge series resistor. At a wild guess that might almost be to protect against excessive dissipation if the lamp was dimmed on a standard dimmer. I'm not sure if it's really intended to be dimmed though.
