Such delicate product for protecting of family noses is carefully generatid. in use case of supervviolent refquency disfinecting brigts when careful enginerrrs ? make sewage after dessin night ligt in laboratoty.
A night light with a color temperature which feels like eight million K is an incredible good idea! I always wanted to feel like I am in an emergency room in a hospital when I go to bed! Thank you for unearthing those very special products.
@@ben-- 1 : it is cheap 2 : from what I saw, technically it is more accurate with our night vision (think of the moon, that is a white "light") (on the other hand, a candle / a campfire are warm light tho)
@@tom-sn4gd Actually, moonlight looks more blue than it is, because it's so weak, it has to do with the Purkinje effect. In reality the color temperature of moonlight is about 4100 K. Sunlight is about 400'000 times stronger than moonlight, so it's not that strange that we can't see colors perfectly in moonlight.
I used to read chinglish to my grandmother and Mom. One of the funniest things ever. The Past few years before my mom passed away.....i was taking care of her in the hospital and would bring a lot of chenglish instructions and safety warnings. I used to go to the Chinese markets and just look at funny and silly products just so I could buy them for the instructions and warnings on the back We would get to laughing so hard that we were hurting. There are some that are so funny you just wouldn't believe it This was great, and there was another video of yours a few years back where I laughed that hard in one of your videos eas when the cat was helping you do some "unauthorized plumbing"... He gave you this scared look for some reason in the middle of it.... and you we're surprised by his expression and started laughing while he was kind of scared. And it was one of the funniest things
It is funny when an English guy reads Chinglish, but when a Czech guy does it, hilarious :D Now I would like to hear a Polish or Russian guy read it. I really want to live in the Czech Republic when I retire. Such a beautiful country. The UK is really depressing me. Your video did a sterling job at cheering me up :) Many thanks and much love and hugs to you and your cat xx
Astonishing how little some people (factory owners) care. With stuff like this, I ask myself how the workers were paid or employed. Is it like "Here you get 2.80$. Design an enclosure for this lamp!", or like "You get 1.50$/h. Write >30 product descriptions per hour!"?
My theory is that someone who didn't understand English typed it over from a (damaged?) packaging so they could use the text. My second theory is they scanned (correction: took a picture of) an old packaging and used OCR to convert it to text but it failed horribly.
I also tried to GPT the Engrish, and here's how it came out: Nite Lite User Mannual U take box from nite lite. Switch on bottum of nite lite. Turn off. U plug nite lite to wall. Voltage may shock u. Wait 3 minits. Nite lite charge now. Push button on nite lite. Lite on. Push again lite off. If nite lite hot, unplug and wait. Ask questin? Contact us. Speak English, but not good. Note: This nite lite not toy. Keep away from child and animal. No use in water. Use indoor only in dry area.
Probably done on the aluminium core because there was spare room on the large board, so they put this design in to get use of the otherwise throw away material. Explains the odd corners, in that the board was using a section otherwise intended to be milled out and thrown away as scrap.
@@SeanBZA- I honestly don’t know how you say such a thing! 😂 I would have thought that the reason was obvious - the underrated resistor needed cooling…! 🤣
In case anyone is wondering, Qiaolian would be pronounced "Chee-ow-lee-ahn". It's written in Pinyin (system of writing Mandarin using the Latin alphabet). Q is basically a ch, x is similar to sh, c is similar to ts. If it were properly written out there would also be inflection marks indicating which tone each syllable received. As for the rest of the text... wow. Just... wow.
@@ingulari3977 Well I was hoping it would be something like that, but according to my dictionary, it's short for "returned overseas Chinese federation"... 🤷 Kinda matches the translated text, when you think about it...
@@drdrums1 Do you mean 侨联? Their logo has 乔联 - not that I could make more sense out of it. Danyk should pronounce it like ťhao lien with his pražský accent, both phonemes with an upward inflection.
I don't know the meaning, but the company has a page at @lib@b@: Puning Qi@od@ Electronic Manuf@ctory. I've found an alert for a similar night light: A12/00633/21.
@@atdzsny Ah, see, now that's why the inflection marks would have helped. I didn't get a look at what the actual characters were. Qiáo lián doesn't really translate to anything, so it sounds like an arbitrary name, like Xerox.
Cold white light, just what the sleepy, tired eyes need for night-time low-level illumination when you need to visit the ol' throneroom for a pee... :P
I always think of their CE mark as being "China Export only" meaning it's of such doggy construction and quality that it's cannot be sold or used in china. 🙂 As the CE printed is wrong for an EU CE mark. this is great for us in the UK now as it looks nothing like the UKAC we should be using.
@@Mark1024MAK Well it's better than nothing, the problem is trading standards are a bit of a waste of time. We need a body with teeth to stop the like of amazon and ebay saying that they are not the supplier, they only let the CON go on and take a cut of the money while accepting no responsibility. But i expect your never stop people risking there lives buying cheap electrical shit.
@@TheEmbeddedHobbyist - I agree that Trading Standards need much better powers. They also need much better funding. I have not checked recently, but in the past, a lot of their funding came from local government, which itself is not properly funded.
@@Mark1024MAK I spent two years getting products through the CE process for industrial and medical products and the amount I spent on EMC and lab testing was obscene. knowing that some products are just sold with no effort or attempt at meeting any form of safety standards made it feel i was just wasting money. But at least i had the happy feeling that the products i did were safe to use and so could sleep well at night.
6W LED is practically a spotlight, hardly a night light. Unless of course most of the power goes into making heat, which would explain the need for the large aluminum heatsink.😂
Alright, I'm going to type all this in the box of Google translator and I'll let it do the reading job, of course with Chinese accent.... If you'll never hear from me again, just know that I had a nice death... I died of laughter :)
I have had this exact same lamp for well over 5 years now and instead of smd components, they used tht with cone shaped leds and an additional ceramic capacitor. Quite reliable actually. Has been working every night since I bought it and sometimes if I forget to turn it off, whole day. Thought I have to be careful not to knock it off the socket and it's housing.
Isn't the shorter pin some kind of standard too? For shavers in the bathroom. (found it, BS 4573) I think the Chinese often confuse it with the European plug.
You got me there, i could not stop laughing as you were reading the Jibberish lol :-D It took me back to the 1980's instruction book that came with a new v.c.r. Some of the instructions were impossible to do. I ignored the manual and just played with the v.c.r controls, it didn't take long to understand it. Why does chinglish still exist?
@@imnotbeluga007 I have had quite a few chuckles when trying to read chinglish. Perhaps it is o.k, it's easy to use the grey matter and guess the jibberish :-D
The power supply of this night light is somehow like these capacitor power supplies. The disadvantage is the power consumption of resistor. I made such kind of night lights by myself because most of the commercial ones are way too bright for my taste. I just want to find the orientation if I need to go to the bathroom at night. In my design I have used a high efficiency warm white LED operating by a current of only 2 mA. To reduce the voltage I have used a X2 capacitor with 33 nF with a parallel bleeding resistor of 1 MOhm. It is followed up by a small full bridge rectifier, a 5.1 V Zener diode and a 22 µF electrolytic capacitor. A series connection of a 100 Ohm resistor and the LED is connected in parallel. Under this arrangement the 5.1 V Zener diode generates a voltage drop of only 2.7 V at a bias current of only 60 µA. Most of the current goes through the LED branch. At the LED the voltage is 2.5 V. So the power consumption of the LED is only 5 mW. The total power consumption of the circuit is 8 mW. Most of the extra power is used in the rectifier. It gives well enough light for the darkness adapted eyes and the power consumption is so small, that it is not necessary to switch it off during the day time. I use three of these night lights, in corridor, bath room and living room.
Would be really interesting to see you try out a few of those cheap $5 logic analyzers. And maybe a few of the more medium-priced ones that are still only $15 or $20 maybe a little more. Maybe dslogic would send you one to do it tear down. Also there's another few companies on banggood and elsewhere that combine a pretty high speed logic analyzer with analog channels capable of oscilloscope type measurements as well. And even more expensive one I almost bought that had a built-in curve tracer
3:00 a few MM difference doesn't matter... The only thing that matters is how carefully you slide it in the holes. Had a date like that once 10/10 would recommend 👍
Him reading the description is hilarious, it’s like the people responsible writing it halfway just gave up and did not give a single f*ck about it. I love dodgy and sketchy gadgets. 💯👌
Do you think the aluminum substrate board gives any significant extra cooling to the resistor? I assume the majority of cooling would come through the solder pads... and I don't think those pads are directly connected to the aluminum. The resistor wouldn't work very well if there was a near-zero resistance metal connection underneath it...
@DiodeGoneWild - There is a "fuse": the thin wires ... Also the isolation of the plug´s pins looks like molded from the same thermoplastis of housing (this can not be good)
2:27 here CE actually means "China Export". Chinese intentionally made the logo very similar to "Conformite Europeenne" logo 🙂. The only difference between the logos is that in "China Export" logo the letters are much closer to each other.
I have never seen in my life so many writing mistakes on one product. If it was me, I could give it a pass because English is my third language, but since it was someone working at a big Company and not some RU-vid chump like me, we can't forgive that.
I've missed hilarious english on the packaging of chinese products. Most companies seem to have got their heads around translation these days, but this is a return to form.
Hey I have a question for you buddy I'm there's these flat super slim adapter quick charge 3.0 can you take a look into them because I bought one off of Amazon it says it's 18 w but I'm not getting would you mind looking into it
