Most streamlined street light I've seen
🕑 Added 2024-01-22 06:38:34 +0000 UTCI've not finished editing the description for this video. I thought I'd drop it early, since it's such a radical twist on integration.
The main chips involved in the control are optimised for simplicity and an amazingly good power factor (current to voltage relationship).
One notable mistake is that I implied that the Acrich chips have a 0-10V analogue control. It's actually 2V.

Very cool. Thanks Big Clive.

I think the SOT23-5 chips labelled AA9A are the Microchip single op-amp MCP6001. They're maybe for the light sensor amplifier, and from experience these can need a lot of signal conditioning. Excellent vid, thanks Clive.

The sad part is that this could have easily been turned into a truly field-serviceable (vs. workbench serviceable) light! It could have even been made to be tool-less pretty easily.
I don’t think I’ve ever complained on one of your videos after watching them for approaching seven years. But… I found this video unwatchable only a few minutes in. You seemed to be rushing. Add the annoying sound of electric screwdriver during disassembly instead of you talking us through manual screwdriver use and it lost the feeling of relaxed sitting with a chum poking about a new piece of tat to see what made it tick. I ended up bailing on this one. First time.

Are those two MCC CS1Z components these 1A silicon rectifiers rather than zeners? https://www.mouser.co.uk/ProductDetail/Micro-Commercial-Components-MCC/GS1Z-LTP?qs=y6ZabgHbY%252ByVBMhzJcPk1Q%3D%3D

I kept reading the title as "most streamed light", and I was ready to be impressed that the light had its own youtube channel.

This video is basically marketing gold dust for Indo Lighting anyway :)
