    I do pay very much about what a company claim about brightness and about battery running time because

    Most of the time they full of crap

    The brightness of this flashlight is decent but the only complaint I have is the focus is a little bit crap-ee in that it is square all the way in and way out it is mostly a circle

    But the flashlight itself is worth $7.50 for what I paid for

    Now the charger that runs 110 ac voltage is worth maybe a $1.00 that’s for the charging power cord for it plug to charge the battery

    Now the 12 volt car charger is only good for the cord same as above

    The battery worth I have not determined as of yet
    Because I have not tested it completely

    But I am going to remove the heat shrink tubing that on the battery then I will know more
    Here are some pictures of the switching power supply for this flashlight

    I have a use for this switching power supply I going to run some LED lights off it it says 4.2 volts @ 500 milliamperes

      i doubt that will pass a hipot test.
      not enough separation.
      no opto either.
      no cc/cv charge control.
      it just floats the cell at 4.2v
      thats a nono for li-ion.
      kill it with fire before it kills you with fire!

        a whateverfire shit with a different name.
        they didnt even bother to fix the chinglish found on many other junk batteries.

        As you can see there is NO protection board any where on this battery

        They are trying to hurt someone with this crap really

          This is why it going to get a 0.500 milliamperes in-line fuse on the input
          on these two switching power supply and use some real cheap LEDs so I do not care what happens to them I want to see some carnage some smoke and maybe some fire but I do not think I going to get that lucky

                Desoldering gun station modified to use a 18 volt @ 20 amp switching power supply
                by sam_sam_sam
                I have wanting to do this project for quite sometime now and I finally found a switching power supply that will work on this desoldering gun station ZD-915 that the original switching power supply took a shit and just was not worth trying to fix it because this switching power is not quite big enough to handle the heater element and the vacuum pump

                One note when I tested the switching power supply and the voltage control board I noticed that this desoldering gun heat up much faster than the original switching power supply which I was really surprised by to the point that I might buy...

                Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?
                by Tynan Dill
                I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.

                Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.

                I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.

                The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.

                With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

                Assuming...

                Modification to a ZD-987 desoldering/soldering station using a external switching power supply
                by sam_sam_sam
                I have been working on this concept for quite some time now with limited success but recently I found a switching power supply that is setup for the voltage that this soldering station needs to operate at however it also needs part of the secondary circuit from the original switching power because you need several voltage rails

                I once tried to get a ZD-915 desoldering station to work on a 18 volt battery power supply but unfortunately things did not go well but I did find a work around but I might try this idea again but going at a little differently more about this another time...

                Hi, Can we use SMPS Bench Power Supply for Laptop troubleshooting?
                by shamsudeen
                Hi all, I just need to know that, can i use SMPS type power supply to test and short circuit detection on a laptop motherboard?
                I saw 95% of repair guys are using only Linear bench power supply. linear bench power supply is pricy, thats why i planned to get one SMPS supply.

                i know that in linear power supply the noise will be very low comparing to SMPS supply....

                Russound CA4 Power Supply Repair
                by CMCM
                Hello Everybody,

                Trying to repair a power supply from a Russound CA4 Multizone Controller (picture attached)

                Russound no longer supports it but were kind enough to provide a schematic of the power supply (pdf attached).

                The outputs marked 12v and 20v are all measuring only 1v.

                The board is clicking, which I think means it is in something called hiccup mode when the flyback transformers switches because of an internal problem or something else on the board Overloading it.

                The capacitors physically look clean (no bludgesor leaks) and...
