Poundland's PIR LED tape. Worth buying just for the sensor.
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 гру 2020
- Poundland has had USB powered LED tape in the past, but this new version has an inline PIR sensor with standard power jacks on either side.
The bit that really caught my attention was the wide voltage range of the sensor, making it suitable for 5V, 12V and 24V applications.
Here's a link to a datasheet for the unusual BS612 integrated PIR sensor:-
www.image.micro...
Although everything is integrated into a 6-pin PIR package, it still allows adjustment of the dusk level and time delay.
If you enjoy these videos you can help support the channel with a dollar for coffee, cookies and random gadgets for disassembly at:-
www.bigclive.co...
This also keeps the channel independent of UA-cam's advertising algorithms allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty.
I don’t have a clue what you are talking about, but it’s absolutely riveting.
Every time I watch his videos, I watch the whole thing and walk away thinking I'm an idiot.
Glad it's not just me! Lol. 🤯😱🤪😂

@Dave Smith Yes, hi I've watched this video a couple of times now, and it made me think of real world application,I am thinking car interiors, underbody neons, what can I say, u can't beat a pretty set of led lights! 💟from Birmingham England 🏴
Mark! Best comment ever!
Clive was so enthusiastic about this PIR it made me want one, I do not know what for but it seems I need one in my life, love to the big bear x
Exactly what I thought! No idea what I'll use it for though!
Notice they say the LED's are dimmable.
eating pizza with some soda, or other snacks, and watching clive videos is probly one best thing there is, his soothing voice as we take an adventure into the gadgets he is exploring is heaven
Welcome back to our “Electrical curios hoarders anonymous” meeting
That soldering looks like what I did putting together my ruler and retina remover from AvE today.
Ah, Fire Emitting Transistors, my favourite.
The smoke emitting ones are not as exciting
Been watching electroboom have we?
@@andysim232 as they say where there's smoke there's fire right not in that case unless you count fire that you can't see burning but just hot enough to burn something but no visible flames so you could take that either way.
Hello smoke it mini ones may not be as exciting they can still come piano annoying money out this magic smoke you know the stuff that keeps it working properly AKA are you something goes wrong time to fix it and anyting going out at times can be annoying worse yet time-consuming if you don't know what went right away but if the boys on the bench in that happens I think you know what got fried problem is a lot of times when one point it goes out it's something else that killed it not always but journaling it wasn't just one single failure that would cause something like that and that's what I'm saying about the annoying part is trying to track down the rest of the trouble or the troll when you're not sure let's not very obvious but magic smoke blowing out something when it's right on the bench pretty easy to find at least the first component that will need to be replaced what someone should do is build a model of the IBM Magic Smoke injector yeah that was a guy get one turning but if someone really needs to build a model based on the image and then have like a Piezo Electric atomizer for water in there so you could actually Tabet generate smoke as part of the gag I guess you could use a vape pen or something like that but I'd rather do ultrasonic since I don't smoke or vape that's just who needs it and possible carcinogens Etc and anything else just saying it when people use those things for a special effects you're still exposing yourself to something one thing or another but then again ultrasonic mist or fog or whatever generator it's just water vapor for real loss of course you say their stuff in the air or mobiles or whatever or others so pick your poison I guess don't even get me started about the hydrogen monoxide gag that's the thing look it up and yeah it's water is all also the scare the original one was evidently started by someone in school that wanted to see just how gullible people can be and did a report trying to ban dihydrogen monoxide which of course is water H2O which works out to be no dihydrogen monoxide.
And also in this he actually or she whichever was use all factual information regarding water and that kind of stuck and that's how that got started.
Also I did so want to see speaking Magic Smoke when the comment somewhere I don't remember if it's as UA-cam or somewhere else but it was of an image that it was for some Electronics something around and I'd photoshopped in a smoke I do believe I'm thinking they saw what the estimate was a soldering iron in actuality what. Was the solar guard or whatever happened that tool was actually an oscilloscope probe and I just couldn't stop laughing you know I mean water for you if anyone if it was a school who would want to go to a school or class when they don't know that I'm so scope probe does not generate smoke or at least should not.
I remember the first time I ever saw the Magic Smoke from inside something black was a kid I had to speak and spell note at the time was using rechargeable nicad batteries don't know if that had something to do with it but it could have since there are very large short circuit currents and of course because it kept doing yank the batteries out which is hard with that device done intentionally when I saw the smoke at story going berserk with weird sounds and stuff you better bet I rip those batteries out there.
By the way I remember when the batteries would get low I don't know if that was just alkaline or if the rechargeables or both but I do remember this when the battery is got low it would go crazy sometimes it would just start looping the same word over and over and over I remember once when the battery is got low it started seeing angel angel angel angel and so on until we pulled the batteries.
It was running on four C batteries so I suspect at least at that time it would have been 5 volts so far volt regulator probably 7805 I suspect what was going on is the regulator was dropping out when the batteries were almost dead considering their Nike ad that would be more likely because of the lure voltage start with.
1.2 vs 1.5 which would make a difference at least more dramatically so but that's just a theory in terms of stability of the CPU on that Thunder low voltage conditions yep.
What do you call accidentally using an infrared LED instead of a visible light LED An infuriating LED
I remember Noise Emitting Diodes…
I love this guy and people like him.
I, literally, didn't understand a single WORD of what he was saying.
But he is clearly an expert.
Old vid, I know, but I happened to buy one of these a few days ago and hacked it to work properly. Mounted in my wardrobe it wouldn't activate because the ambient light from my ceiling light was too high for the dusk sensor. I added a small square of white electrician's tape over the light sensor and now it works fine. I'm no Big Clive, but I am proud of myself :)
I brought one of these last week, for the garage for the winter nights and as there's no lights.
I thought it was faulty. It took a few hours to think "ah I wonder if it has a light sensor"
I wait for night time and hey presto it worked.
Ah why didn't I cover the sensor up first time. Dohh.
Thanks for the tear down and tutorial.
Waiting till night time for it to get dark instead of covering the sensor!
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'm creased here, mainly because I could see myself doing the same.
I've been finding your posts interesting and humorous. But most of all I adore your voice, I could listen to it for ages!😊
Your parents probably dreaded getting you presents when you were young. Your videos are always top notch.
I have no idea what any of your words mean science man but I still like hearing them. I wish this stuff made sense to me, always had an interest.
If you keep watching it will gradually fall into place.
As a hardware / software hacker, I approve this video and product. This has a lot of potential uses. Looks like a trip to poundland later then.
I followed through with what I said and brought some.. I need to rewatch this video and make a response to it. Top man big Clive. Love your content

Great video and thank you.

His tangents are always welcomed lol
Found a similar led strip and sensor combo but it allows you to dim the leds as well. A great product for older folks when attached to there bed frame. As soon as they get up bam light to get up with... works great for my dad...
“But I digress”. LOL, that’s why we’re here - carry on!
I just realized that the reels that the LED tape comes on are just repurposed reels from magnetic tape machines. That center hole with the three points is the standard mount hole for those old reels.
I feel there’s an important historical stop in “pick and place” machines as the missing link between tape machine spindles and electronics distribution.
@@peterg.8245 this is much more likely as to how it became used for LED tape. The SMD LEDs probably came on those reals before being attached to the tape backing.
If the mechanism reliably winds and unwinds reels at controlled speeds, it reliably winds and unwinds reels at controlled speeds. Makes sense the electronics industry would stick with the known-working solution.
It's just easier to use off-the-shelf stuff that suits the job than to re-invent something. It's the same reason why higher wattage LEDs are designed to use CPU coolers.
Handy! Something to watch out for next time I'm in Poundland.
Your "digressing" has actually helped me with a query that I have had for a while! Doppler v PIR thank you.
I love learning something new, even if some of it went over my head 😂. I was looking at this little device and wondered if it would be rubbish but after listening to you I am filled with confidence...well done👍🤗😁
Those MOSFETs are usually enhancement mode, so there is only one conducting surface. The metal gate sits on a thin oxide layer, and below that is a lightly positive doped substrate. The source and drain are highly negatively doped at either end.
When a positive charge is applied to the gate, it attracts enough electrons into the substrate to form a narrow channel of silicon with excess electrons in the conduction band. That channel is what allows electrons to move from the source to the drain. In the off condition, the charge carriers can't enter the drain because the junction is reversed biased. Once the channel is formed, electrons can freely travel in the conduction band from the source to the drain.
That's really good for the price. I was looking at something similar for kitchen cupboards to turn on lights when I opened the door.
Why is it showing your comment being posted a week ago when the video was only posted 36 min ago?

I got a battery-powered one from Lidl - worked well as intended but it drinks batteries even when the leds are off. About 1 week per set of 4xAAA.
Been a E & E Engineer for +10 years, have found explaining to others, makes you really confident in the subject, biggy nice job, tbh I am always learning,
Canadian here. AliExpress has a range of these units, some with 30s ~ 10 min delay-off, others with 10s ~ 10 min., and either 5 or 12 VDC operation [with matching wall-wart]. Choice of white or warm-white color. I'm considering purchase of 4-off of a version that offers 5 m of LED strip operating at 12 volts [slightly more efficient? 3 LEDs in series per dropping resistor] for ~ US$ 12.87 each, less a $2-off coupon for over $39. Free shipping from China to Canada, 15 ~ 30 day delivery... Many thanks to Clive for bringing this to my attention - I'd love to have some motion-sensing night-lights in my home.
I’ll never get tired of you saying the word “poundland”
seen them for £3 now in poundland
If possible, would love to see that lens with the flir.
Thanks for another great video Clive.
I picked one of these up the other day, they're down to £3 now (Feb 2022). It didnt have any literature so I did a quick search and your video popped up, which is great, I'm learning so much.
Thanks again.
Fascinating, I bought that motion sensor on its own from aliexpress at the start of the year. Sure it cost around £3-4, this is brilliant value.
Definitely worth the money. Well explained video as usual!
I think he always has amazing videos!
It’s probably the sole reason for the cost of the item is usually the electrical components
if your just after the pir , they are under £3 on ali express
My local Poundland had a few of these in yesterday, so I had to grab one after remembering this video! Not sure what I'll do with it yet, but I will come up with something!
I just made one of these! A fair bit more than 5GBP, but mine has 10m of outdoor LED and network connection, but no photovoltaic sensor. It presumably illuminates the handrail for anyone coming or going from my home, improves security, but primarily lets me know that my corgi is back from his late night nature walk. He'll bark incessantly at any noise, real or imagined when he's inside, but never a peep when forgotten and left sitting on the cold side of the door
EVERY TIME I attempt to get in one of those blister packs I bleed.
Use a can opener. Seriously.
Same here. I hate those damn things. I seriously think they are designed that way on purpose so that when crackheads open them in stores to steal stuff, they leave DNA evidence behind.
I seen a cool rotary cutting tool from worx that looks promising but I'm still using my knifes to strategically score it to open it.
@@ucitymetalhead Harbor Freight has it too.
@@racitup4114 Those are the issue. .lol
The reel is interesting. It looks interchangeable with a reel from a mid 1960s open-reel portable tape recorder.
This is fantastic, I realise this video is from December, but I went in Poundland today to see if they still had any, unfortunately not, but I got a very nice battery powered PIR spotlight to illuminate my front door handle.
Trouble is I can never go in Poundland without thinking of you and the Fanny Flambeaux doll.
I don't have a ffffing clue what your on about but. I find his videos relaxing. School meditation. Can you imagine him being your teacher. You wouldn't want the lesson to end.
Holy bananas batman that's an impressive mosfet. Grabbed 50 of the p- and n-variant immediately
Those are some of my favorite mosfets for low voltage, low current stuff. They are good to keep stocked in the parts bin.
I work on alarm systems and really enjoyed this one.
Hi Clive, Many thanks for this. A friend of mine wanted to use one to run the fans for his composting toilet and sent me the link which I had already watched! This is the perfect solution and somewhere in the comments you replied about removing the LDR to bypass the dusk til dawn feature - have done that and now I have an LDR in the parts bin!! Many Thanks again for your brilliant channel. Damo xx
I've got 3 in my kitchen lighting the work tops. They are absolutely brilliant!
Poundland used to be “everything for a pound”. The staff hated it if you said “here’s a pound, give me everything!”.
Quite possibly it was not the first that they heard that. And then stay patient, polite and accommodating, LOL
I was once behind some cheeky young kids who stood at the till asking the lady how much each item was. Everything was a pound and I couldn't help chuckling as she got more and more wound up.
Maybe in some branch the staff would beat the crap of a customer - they give you a pound (ING) for everything you buy?

Sounds like it'd be good for camping especially if you had a solar panel that can charge your battery pack and then use that at night in your tent or whatnot
That's a very good idea! Especially if you had a power bank with the solar panel built in. Quick, cobble one together right now, and get down to the patent office first thing tomorrow morning!!
@@28YorkshireRose12 Unless you're buying one the really overpriced ones with fold out panels, the power banks with built-in panels are nearly worthless, they'll have at best a 1W panel meaning it would take roughly 16 hours to fully charge a fairly small 4,000ma battery or 4 hours per 1,000ma, so it is technically good enough for this use case but I still don't think leaving batteries to bake in sunlight is ever a good idea anyway, heat just makes the cells die quicker.
If it's all right with the rest of the group, I'd rather not use my battery pack in my whatnot. Thank you.
@@interestedlen8823 - no problem, the victorians made clockwork ones.
I can vouch that these work for maybe days off w power bank
.bought 3 of these now, running them off a 9v battery works well for a couple of months. Just packaging a made up set for a friend to use outdoors around his bins. It'll be a good test for a part sheltered outdoor site. Thanks for the video
Keep in mind that the LED tape supplied is only intended for 5V.
I worked in lighting controls for nearly 30 years (business, industrial and retail not the exciting stuff) all of the detectors that we used were quad pyro. They needed two of the elements to be triggered to operate. Almost all of the sensors we used were passive infrared as microwave sensors false triggered far too often to provide good energy savings

I used to work for ICM Controls, an HVAC control manufacturer. I worked on 3rd shift and occasionally got phone calls from people pissed off that their thermostats weren't working. One woman complained that her power was out, and her furnace wouldn't turn on despite the thermostat having two AA batteries and an emergency mode. (Forced air heat...) Another man in Florida called complaining that his thermostat wasn't working and that there was frost on the table in his kitchen. The temperature in Florida that night was 60°F.

I have to tell you this BS612 you can buy from Alie Expres for €5.37 for 5 Pcs that wil be 1.07 € a piece so the ten is you tell is a little to much but again a good video Clive I love your channel mate.
bs612 or RDB226 can be nought from lcsc for cents
I've not had a a Big Clive video on my home screen for months despite having been a subscriber for yonks so the last couple have been very welcome. Compelling and entertaining and if only I had a brain they would be so educational!
Oddly, very time he unearths a worthy Poundland item, I can't resist popping down the High Street to get one!
There's 2 versions of this kit now. As they were reduced to £3 I got 3 sets. The first 2 are the newer ones with 30 LEDs per metre compared to 60 LEDs per metre on the old ones. The newer one also has a different sensor with a DY3108 IC instead of the BS612 like the one you looked at.
oh my word, does anyone else recognize what that reel is? Note the core, that looks suspiciously like a reel to reel spool...wonder what they did with all of them...
I thought that initially.
Though the LED tape looked wider than 6mm.
The other possibility would be 8mm cine film.
Reels like that are used for packaging SMD components for pick-and-place machines; you can buy them by the truckload in any size you want.
It's the same type as I've got a couple of older Poundland USB strips coiled on. The plastic is very very flimsy (although mines is black, not transluscent white), so not really as rigid as you'd use with a more fragile tape.
Makes sense that they'd continue using the mechanics of the old winding systems, though -- if it ain't broke, and all that....
@@nialltracey2599 exactly! was just shocked to see it again!
8mm film / Super 8 film .. hell some of them even still have film text on them. Great that something still gets used/resused in this way.
Don't know what it is, don't know what it does or why I need it in my life but I enjoyed the video.
I’ve seen modular setups like this for under shelf lighting. My favorite thing is seeing them arranged in to the order power> leds> sensor. Instead of sticking the sensor where it belongs. But you get what you pay for with new construction work.
I always did wonder how IR sensors worked. You learn something new every day.
We live in a strange time where competent assemblies cost a very small fraction of the parts that make them up.

That got me thinking about the battery holders and how one can buy them from Amazon, sure, but being that I get a small string of LEDs AND a battery holder is worth more to me than the device as is.
Looks like a very good little circuit, would be ideal for my mom's place. I bought some wireless lights from Aldi for her and they don't turn off automatically so they've been through 45 AAA batteries already.

Pound land must be the Kum & Go of the UK
My local poundland has a poor selection. I never see any of the things Clive shows .
I ordered something almost like this that had a 110V to 12V power supply and LED strip. I did not notice that the PIR had the LDR and I thought it was dead. The one I have was sold as a set for lighting the floor next to your bed, I wanted it for the PIR to have a light under the cabinet in my bathroom. I did find a use for it to light up a section of counter in my kitchen at night when I walk over to it. LED 12V PIR modules are kind of hard to find on Amazon now, I have gotten one in the past but the Chinese sellers seem to not sell it anymore.

Clive: Aldi has a load of “smart lighting” gear in the middle aisle. Not sure if you have an Aldi out your way but might be worth checking out.
Aldi and Lidl have both been showing "Smart" tech on their web pages. Aldi shows a couple of wifi light bulbs, online-only, BC and ES. Lidl has a wider range of kit, but you have to buy a "gateway" (Zigbee 3.0 standard) and none of the light bulbs are BC.
The Aldi bulbs are explicitly wifi. Zigbee is a low data-rate "mesh" system that has been around for a long while.
Poundland has some wifi lightbulbs as well, but their website shows nothing like this. Have we missed our chances?
Is Aldi’s whole middle aisle lucky dip a universal thing? I wasn’t sure if they did it outside of Australia.
@@NoobixCube it’s certainly there in Germany, where the shop started, and in every Diddlidi shop I’ve been in in the UK, so I’m pretty confident that it is universal.

I've bought a few LED PIR sensor switches from AliExpress for £2-3 each, I think - 5~24V, barrel connectors, pots for sensitivity and time - though the Poundland kit is still very attractive, especially with this year's higher shipping costs from China.
I currently have one connected to a LED strip above the main kitchen counter so it lights automatically when someone goes to use that surface. Very handy :)

Thanks very much for the post. Very informative and I found I had plugged in the input and output on wrong sides so it goes on/off very nicely now 👍🏻 cheers
In reference to the little dome lenses, are they designed so their focal length is more or less "focused" on the PIR surface? If so, it seems as though this would further increase the PIR sensivity.
What do you think?
BTW, pretty neat little gadget.
Well yes. How else would you expect them to be? The datasheets for pyrosensors give the effective position of the sensing elements to aid the design of lenses.

Excellent - Wonder if our Reject Shop might be stocking this item - they stock a broadly similar range to the UK Poundland stores. Bearing in mind that "almost everything" is done by that single PIR module, that's an amazingly cheap collection - half-price (and functionally complete) PIR module, with 2m LED tape and a USB cable thrown in free of charge!
Those LDR sensors are not RoHS complaint?
"it might be detecting my bumping guns"... I laughed way to hard at that!
He actually said 'gums', meaning it was possibly detecting him talking and moving his mouth.
I've been using them as under cupboard lights in my kitchen for a month or so. The USB connection was a bit dodgy but I got it stable and it's been great so far. I've not had to use the big light at all.
I've never been to Poundland but can now do so with the confidence that a large black number on the back tells me how many pounds an item costs.

Ha Ha, I noticed the 8mm movie reel right away, you can find those BS612 modules in older outdoor flood light fixtures, they been around for decades, very handy circuit boards for all kinds of projects, they have SENSITIVITY, DAYLIGHT and TIME settings in the circuit.
These led strips are superb
I had a 10watt grow light that was awesome could be used for a power pack
Probably a silly question but if we use the sensor on 12V do we have to use a 12 volt LED strip? I didn't notice any regulation in the circuit diagram which would allow the included 5V LED strip to work. I can foresee some ppl connecting them to car 12V supply and the LED strip failing in a short time. (that's what I was thinking to do; use it to illuminate the back of my van; would come on when the back doors are opened).
Yes, the strip would need to match the power supply.
Easiest way might be to power the whole thing from an automotive USB adapter. But you would be less likely to run the battery down if you put a 5V regulator chip or an automotive USB adapter between the sensor and the LEDs.
@@jayherde0 I had to reread that a couple times for it to click how that would save power.
If anybody else is having trouble making sense of that: Having the regulator/converter between the sensor and the strip means that the regulator only runs when the sensor is activated.
@@Kineth1 thanks
If I didn't live in the US I would get it just for the reel for my 8mm projector 😝
I'm pretty sure the spindle hole in the middle is too big.
My brain is trying to sift through the fog of about 35 years though so I could be wrong 😉
You get most LED tape on small reels like this these days.
bigclivedotcom I love that they are using existing Technology to accommodate new stuff!
Galerak The bigger reels had holes about the same size :)
Yes I was wondering if it would take quarter inch audio tape LOL.
I'm going to get a few of these and wire them up to 12v on the boat. Very useful thanks for the video Clive.
You'll need matching 12V LED tape.
Well worth £5. I'm going into town next week I will definitely take a look. Hopefully they will still have some.
