/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Probably belongs in /sqt/ but...

These shitty free blue HF lights, they have the flashlight mode with 3x little LED’s and then the area light LED strip. You goys always mention putting a current limiting resistor inline or you’ll burn up the lights, right?

The earlier ones had two resistors, one for the smaller light and one for the brighter light. In the everlong quest to make things cheaper I assume, they’re now only using one resistor on the dim side. Also check it out, now they only use one screw to hold the switch in place instead of the two.

So my question, did they remove the other resistor because they don’t give a fuck if you burn out the strip within an hour of use, or are the shittiest possible Chinesium batteries the current limiter because they can’t even put out the juice to burn it up?
