BIG Clive and HV LED

[amdx]

Big Clive dissects a low power led and find a HV voltage led. 200V.
The tiny array plugs into 240vac and has only a 1/2 watt limiting
resistor. A bit more than he thought to start.

You can jump to 11 minutes, if you don't care about the initial
disassembly, but even that is interesting.

Thanks a lot. That ended up being 30 minutes of my life wasted... well, not wasted exactly, in fact very entertained. I watched two more videos after. lol Youtube is addictive. I'm just glad I didn't encounter any cat videos.

Youtube is so much better than TV, much of it is video about a subject made by a person interested in that subject for other people interested in that subject. Not like TV that is mostly made by media people looking to sell content to other
media people looking to find some filler between ads

** Well said. I like watching U-tube.

Only a few weeks ago I finally got decent broadband with consistent 12MBs download speed - so U-tubes need no buffering and run in HD mode.

YouTube has it's appeal. I still like other media like Hulu and Netflix. Netflix makes some very, very good material.

BigClive has a nice voice and the various sounds in his videos almost seem like an ASMR production.

I didn't have any trouble with what she was saying, but that voice! She reminds me of a female Dave Jones.

** I find her voice and mixed accent cute.

She reminds me of a female Dave Jones.

** Now, that is slanderous ...

FYI:

Sydney Watson has a Law degree from Melbourne University, plus was voted one of the "hottest" gals on campus at the time.
