I think that there are two ICs for the reason that they probably do different things. One is probably to interface with the IR sensor to send a colour number to the other IC, which is probably something like a WS2801 PWM chip, which would control the output signal to the LEDs themselves
Looking at a similar product will I be able to remove the 230v -12v converter and connect the + - to a 12v power outlet will the led still work the same ? Thanks for your help
Thanks for your video. From the video I can tell the lamp is with poor quality: poor fixture, poor driver and can be sure the led chip also poor quality, that's why the same appearance led lamp but different prices. If everyone knows how to check led lamp quality like you showed, won't be so many poor quality led lamps in the market. Have to say you're really an expert and professional in led lighting.
I have one like this but its a standard 12v 10w chip in warm white, I soldered out and swapped in a white chip and the lamp is pulsing on and off now, do you have any ideas why it would pulse?
Need help I bought 1 on ebay. Tao Tronics Model TT-LF01M and when i plug it into wall the made a pop and blew my breaker off. I just noticed that it says Eingang 85-265V AC . Looks like they sent me the wrong one ? Im in USA what should i do to get it working ??? Thanks Janet
Good video but for future reference it's very hard to hear you in your videos. And btw I run a light show and use a few of these and have never had an issue with them.
I want to find a good 100w rgb controller but it Dosent seam like there are any :( Not to mention only ones I can find are ac to dc. The little touch controllers they have look neat but not to sure where I'm going....
yes connect it to power?really?gee i would never have thought that.. I mean how would you mount it.. cos mine didn'«t come with a plug, but I fixed one on it and it's working fine..
Good to know. As you say, Global economy. As much as I support the global economic system, we should all be aware that these sort of problems can occur.
If this 10w unit is any indication... I would be scared to death to put itor any other unit into service.. First, I would connect the earth ground, Second; shield IR sensor wire from being cut, Third; change out the power resistors to metal heat sinked types and mount, screw them down to the finned back cover, Fourth; I would also check the LED chip to ensure that the chip has heat sink compound . At that point it would be a lot safer and have longer life. Color me cautious but... There is a reason that electrical rules are setup by UL, CSA, CE, FM, etc.
all said and done. your $20 light is now the $60 light you should have bought instead of going cheap. people you get what you pay for. there are no magic deals availble to the public in life
+tennismediadynamics - I agree, with China's propensity to disregard Patents, Intellectual Properties, etc. Even if a product arrived with any safety certification labels I would perform a complete tear-down to verify the unit. After all, anyone with a scanner and printer can print any safety certification sticker and illegally use it just to make the sale.
Wow, that's one of the worst things i have ever seen from china... Where did you buy it? I wouldn't mind having a few of those metal casings for other more proper LED projects.
LED flood lights maintenance and repair instructions: 1, make sure you have power before maintenance service; 2, a regular cleaning of the lens, in order to maintain a good transmissive lamp; 3, regularly flood light shell and radiator dust cleaning, preferably with a dry cloth; 4, replace the power supply, can be directly with a screwdriver after opening the back cover, remove the power supply, AC power supply three-wire power connection in accordance with the corresponding red "L, blue corresponding to the power supply" N ", yellow-green or yellow corresponding to the" ⊥ " , DC power line red line corresponds to the power of positive, black line corresponds to a negative power supply, pay attention to positive and negative do not reversed. 5, A professional electrician and maintenance are essential. 6, The hole must be appropriate before installation. Not too big or too small. 7, Since the light is a little heavy, please insure screws fixed well before installing. 8, Please avoid the heat or hot steam environment or corrosive gas, so as not to affect the lifespan of the product.

for chineese people money is important,,,chineese govt, also promote export of these crap items all over the world,,,,,,,for them human life is considered as the value of life of mosquito,,,,,,,
You need to report this to IEEE. AM SHOCKED at the poor construction here. Thanks for the upload. U saved me from buying one.
They are grey market items, when you buy them from amazon they are shipped straight from china, usually marked as a "gift" to get around customs.
You get what you paid for! Thanks for sharing, good information.
Be Safe,

Hi love your video, do all the RGB remote controls as same in your video work on the floodlight because mine is broken & have to order another one!
Sorry, no idea if they are the same
Thanks for the warning I was about to order a few of these. Sure saved me a few £'s
Looking at a similar product will I be able to remove the 230v -12v converter and connect the + - to a 12v power outlet will the led still work the same ?
Thanks for your help
I have one and it lasted less than a hour. it started smoking and then stop working.
It was never outside. 120 volt standard 60hz outlet.

Think I can expect something better from something sold 10 watts sold for €45 with CE marks?

i was going to get some of these, but the wiring and OMG 170ºC!, they look really dangerous.

I bought one today and now Im scared to plug it,..
i have one, how did you install/connect it and to what did you connect it? Thanks
You connect it to power. Electric will make it burn. You can use screws to attach it to a wall.
