    pool light

    My pool light went out (Pentair 77163102 AquaLight Halogen Quartz Light with Stainless Steel Face Ring and 30-Feet Cord, 120-Volt, 250-Watt) because wires inside the connector to lamp base are burned and i don't want to pay $200 for a new lamp base with wire cable and $20 for quartz lamp (picture 1,2) so i modified $20, made in China, DC12v 10W, 900LM, IP67 Waterproof, with Remote Control , RGB led light onto it.


    but it leaked water so i have to open it.....

    Re: pool light

    then i siliconed it but i need to dive-in to use remote. i should move the IR sensor to outside.

      Re: pool light

      this article help me Identify the part number of U1.
      ---------------------------------------------
      I got a similar device and spent a while playing with it.

      Mine uses a fixed PWM period of 6400 µs (156.25 Hz), divided into 80 x 80 µs ticks (12.5 kHz PWM clock). The LEDs are wired common anode so the low side can be switched.

      The 8 dim levels are 12.5, 25, 37.5, … 100% on, 10, 20, … 80 out
      of 80 ticks of on time.

      The “DIY” buttons support 28 dimming levels, which are 0, 3, 6, …, 75, 78 or 80 ticks of on time.

      The fades use single-tick increments.

      Internally, there’s an 8-pin PIC12F5xx microcontroller (with the P/N sanded off, but the power pin locations give it away) connected to an Atmel 24C02N I2C EEPROM.

      The pin assignments are:

      1- Vcc (generated by a series diode, 680Ω R, and 4.7V zener)
      2- SCL (10K pull-up)
      3- SDA (5.1K pull-up)
      4- IR input (another giveaway this is a Microchip part)
      5- Blue output (470Ω to the gate of the low-side transistor)
      6- Red output
      7- Green output
      8- GND

      There’s a 0.1 uF capacitor in parallel with the zener diode.

      The IR receiver is powered through a 100-ohm resistor followed by a second 0.1 uF decoupling cap.

      I haven’t tried dumping the PIC program ROM.

        I try to add more lights around the pool to create the atmosphere in these videos

          Nice! I should do the same...

          Just need a pool first.. And a house.. ☺️

            Lithonia Lighting versus Light of America Compact Fluorescent product quality
            by sam_sam_sam
            I have a Lithonia Lighting 65-Watt Gray Hardwired Compact Fluorescent

            I also have back when Light of America had these light bulbs available for yard lights

            The issue with Light of America was the blast boards had all most certain board failure while bulbs hardly ever fail

            While the Lithonia lighting fixture has all most certain bulb failure

            So I have modified the Lithonia lighting fixture to accept the Light of America light bulb and see how long this will last

            I have only had this light fixture for not more than a year if it...

            Strange! Acer laptop not powering on but charging the battery (orange light on when charger and battery plugged in).
            by serious_electron
            Hello Everyone!

            I have an Acer Aspire A315-42 laptop. I generally leave it on for long time by closing down its lid (so it enters the sleep mode). Recently, it rained quite heavily in out area. And the humidity and moisture seem to be high. So one late evening, after I opened the lid and turned on the laptop, it did power on as the blue light turned on but after it booted to the desktop screen, just 5-10 seconds after both the screen and blue light went out and laptop shut down (the blue power light turned orange). And after 2-4 seconds that orange light went off and the laptop died.
            ...
