Opening and test of my new 20W LED bench lights.04:33

Well this turned out bad! I spent a lot of time deliberating on what sort of lights to get for my workbench that would provide good working light and also work well with a camera. I chose two 20W cold white floodlights for the intensity and the high colour temperature.
The lights arrived and I decided to do a video showing the insides and it all went wrong from there.
These “20W” lights contain a 10W power supply and the LED array looks like it has smaller chips than usual. Or in other words, the light is not 20W at all. Worse still was that some other 10W lights I got at the same time are actually around 4W actual power and appear to have a generic 3W power supply for 3 x 1W LEDs in them as the 3×3 array of LEDs in the 10W LED is wired as a series parallel array of 3×3 giving a forward voltage of about 9V.
Then there’s the systematic lack of an earth connection in them all, with the 20W lights actually gluing the earth ring crimp out of sight under the 10W power supply. Both the 20W lights had shards of sharp glass from the removal of the corners of the front glass inside.
Just an absolute shambles. I don’t know if it’s just cost economy or if they discovered that the casings couldn’t dissipate the heat properly and were having LED/PSU issues.
But I’ve fitted new flexes, earthed them and mounted them and even at 10W the light is perfectly acceptable. And they certainly run cool!
