Neat little LIDL rechargeable worklight
🕑 Added 2024-08-15 02:59:47 +0000 UTCI'll guess that this same light is probably available under different brands elsewhere in the world, but in the UK it's sold under the Parkside brand by LIDL.
Very simple operation, but an interesting design that gives the microcontroller an override facility for the charge circuitry, and can also allow maximum charge voltage to be programmed in software.

Is there a risk of having a too high current going through the remaining parallel 2.7Ω resistors if you cut off one or a few of those? Or will the current drop more than the chopped-off ones used to carry?

Strange they went to all that trouble designing it, not to include different light modes. I don't always want really bright light on a work piece.
