Chinese street light revisit
🕑 Added 2024-02-08 18:39:22 +0000 UTCI'm not sure if these are actually used as street lights in China, although it's very possible they are.
Having looked at one of these about 6 years ago I thought I'd revisit it and see how things have changed.
I've also go another one here that is bigger, rated 50W and has very good power factor. I'll make a video about it in the future.

At least there was an effort made to ground-ish this light. Using the discrete driver provides light with less flicker than integrated on-board drivers tend to deliver. As always and as you mocked-up here, the electronic components can always be replaced/upgraded over time. The biggest concern could be the limited lifespan of the materials used in the case itself as you shared. An excellent “take-it-to-bits” as we’ve come to expect from you — thank you!

They often do the bare minimum with the lower end products.

Wonder why they didn't put a strain relief on when there's already cast holes for it

"Oh no it's loose" haha they've bottomed it out in the tapped casting.

These are excellent for people walking the streets at night. I know a few of those streetwalkers.
