"Laboratoty bathroom" is such a weirdly specific use case...
Such delicate product for protecting of family noses is carefully generatid. in use case of supervviolent refquency disfinecting brigts when careful enginerrrs ? make sewage after dessin night ligt in laboratoty.
Maybe lavatory/bathroom!
For spying purposes only
I wonder how they know that I use my bathroom for all weird kinds of experiments.
It’s actually overstock from the Wuhan virus lab…
A night light with a color temperature which feels like eight million K is an incredible good idea! I always wanted to feel like I am in an emergency room in a hospital when I go to bed!
Thank you for unearthing those very special products.
Haha, very true.
I don't understand why most LED nightlights are cool/daylight colored, but that seems to be the case for most nightlights out here.
@@ben-- The "angry-blue" LEDs are the cheapest.
@@ben-- 1 : it is cheap
2 : from what I saw, technically it is more accurate with our night vision (think of the moon, that is a white "light")
(on the other hand, a candle / a campfire are warm light tho)
@@tom-sn4gd Actually, moonlight looks more blue than it is, because it's so weak, it has to do with the Purkinje effect. In reality the color temperature of moonlight is about 4100 K. Sunlight is about 400'000 times stronger than moonlight, so it's not that strange that we can't see colors perfectly in moonlight.
It is funny when an English guy reads Chinglish, but when a Czech guy does it, hilarious :D Now I would like to hear a Polish or Russian guy read it. I really want to live in the Czech Republic when I retire. Such a beautiful country. The UK is really depressing me. Your video did a sterling job at cheering me up :) Many thanks and much love and hugs to you and your cat xx
@@ingulari3977 Plot twist: it ends up sounding surprisingly coherent.
LOL!!!
I used to read chinglish to my grandmother and Mom. One of the funniest things ever.
The Past few years before my mom passed away.....i was taking care of her in the hospital and would bring a lot of chenglish instructions and safety warnings. I used to go to the Chinese markets and just look at funny and silly products just so I could buy them for the instructions and warnings on the back
We would get to laughing so hard that we were hurting. There are some that are so funny you just wouldn't believe it
This was great, and there was another video of yours a few years back where I laughed that hard in one of your videos eas when the cat was helping you do some "unauthorized plumbing"... He gave you this scared look for some reason in the middle of it.... and you we're surprised by his expression and started laughing while he was kind of scared. And it was one of the funniest things
What you are doing here ?
Astonishing how little some people (factory owners) care. With stuff like this, I ask myself how the workers were paid or employed. Is it like "Here you get 2.80$. Design an enclosure for this lamp!", or like "You get 1.50$/h. Write >30 product descriptions per hour!"?
You’re probably not far off from reality 😢
You're talking some generous numbers. I wouldn't be surprised if they get half of that
it's just one time typing then copy paste and print this shouldn't be tha hard !
My theory is that someone who didn't understand English typed it over from a (damaged?) packaging so they could use the text.
My second theory is they scanned (correction: took a picture of) an old packaging and used OCR to convert it to text but it failed horribly.
You should start teaching whatever language they write on those packages on duolingo 🤣
😂
🤣🤣🤣
maybee translate by ChatGPT 😩🤣
I also tried to GPT the Engrish, and here's how it came out:
Nite Lite User Mannual
U take box from nite lite.
Switch on bottum of nite lite. Turn off.
U plug nite lite to wall. Voltage may shock u.
Wait 3 minits. Nite lite charge now.
Push button on nite lite. Lite on. Push again lite off.
If nite lite hot, unplug and wait.
Ask questin? Contact us. Speak English, but not good.
Note: This nite lite not toy. Keep away from child and animal. No use in water. Use indoor only in dry area.
😂😂😂😂
The most ominous part? "there's no fuuuuse"
Single resistor as a fuse.
What do you mean? Those thin wires would act as a fuse if something shorted out. :P
In case anyone is wondering, Qiaolian would be pronounced "Chee-ow-lee-ahn". It's written in Pinyin (system of writing Mandarin using the Latin alphabet). Q is basically a ch, x is similar to sh, c is similar to ts. If it were properly written out there would also be inflection marks indicating which tone each syllable received.
As for the rest of the text... wow. Just... wow.
@@ingulari3977 Well I was hoping it would be something like that, but according to my dictionary, it's short for "returned overseas Chinese federation"... 🤷 Kinda matches the translated text, when you think about it...
@@drdrums1 Do you mean 侨联? Their logo has 乔联 - not that I could make more sense out of it. Danyk should pronounce it like ťhao lien with his pražský accent, both phonemes with an upward inflection.
I don't know the meaning, but the company has a page at @lib@b@: Puning Qi@od@ Electronic Manuf@ctory. I've found an alert for a similar night light: A12/00633/21.
@@atdzsny Ah, see, now that's why the inflection marks would have helped. I didn't get a look at what the actual characters were. Qiáo lián doesn't really translate to anything, so it sounds like an arbitrary name, like Xerox.
Those instructions are absolutely amazing! Reminds me of the "electron go out mosquito small a night lamp" which has appeared before.
Really strange they went to the effort of using an aluminium core PCB. I think the whole "budget" went into that lol
Probably done on the aluminium core because there was spare room on the large board, so they put this design in to get use of the otherwise throw away material. Explains the odd corners, in that the board was using a section otherwise intended to be milled out and thrown away as scrap.
@@SeanBZA- I honestly don’t know how you say such a thing! 😂 I would have thought that the reason was obvious - the underrated resistor needed cooling…! 🤣
@@Mark1024MAK So long as it worked in factory test it passes. a little smoke is not even noticed with all the other pollution there.
The Chinglish reading was hilarious. Thank you for reading it.
Your commitment and dedication to explaining a 0.99 cent nightlight is inspirational.
The person writing the back label deserves oscar.. publicity stunt for 1M views, free advertising...
That is some primo Chinglish right there! Even if it kills you, there is still the few chuckles before rigor mortise sets in.
Cold white light, just what the sleepy, tired eyes need for night-time low-level illumination when you need to visit the ol' throneroom for a pee... :P
So dodgy you can't sleep because you are worried about what could happen while it is plugged in.
LMAOO
those instructions are funny af.
1:05
"Floworescent".
Haven't you seen the new ground-up flower powder to make the LEDs bright 😂😂
This was guh...gwruh...greata!
Im happy that u have been making many new videos lately :)
I always think of their CE mark as being "China Export only" meaning it's of such doggy construction and quality that it's cannot be sold or used in china. 🙂
As the CE printed is wrong for an EU CE mark. this is great for us in the UK now as it looks nothing like the UKAC we should be using.
Not thatthe UKAC mark means anything either if the product is imported from China directly… Or from a less reputable seller in the U.K.
@@Mark1024MAK Well it's better than nothing, the problem is trading standards are a bit of a waste of time. We need a body with teeth to stop the like of amazon and ebay saying that they are not the supplier, they only let the CON go on and take a cut of the money while accepting no responsibility.
But i expect your never stop people risking there lives buying cheap electrical shit.
@@TheEmbeddedHobbyist - I agree that Trading Standards need much better powers. They also need much better funding. I have not checked recently, but in the past, a lot of their funding came from local government, which itself is not properly funded.
@@Mark1024MAK I spent two years getting products through the CE process for industrial and medical products and the amount I spent on EMC and lab testing was obscene. knowing that some products are just sold with no effort or attempt at meeting any form of safety standards made it feel i was just wasting money.
But at least i had the happy feeling that the products i did were safe to use and so could sleep well at night.
@@TheEmbeddedHobbyist - And I glad that you did a good job. It’s nice to know that there are people and companies that do the right thing.
I wonder what kind of bread you can make with flourescenent powder.
I don't know but I bet it smells like ultraviolets
6W LED is practically a spotlight, hardly a night light. Unless of course most of the power goes into making heat, which would explain the need for the large aluminum heatsink.😂
It is 0.6 W
the watt meter shows 10x the actual value, it's actually 0.6W
@@Rock4896 Ah yeah, now that makes sense...
oh god i'm in tear from him trying to pronounce all of that
your catulator needs a gif of your cat and some quips so as this cat has really great insights
Alright, I'm going to type all this in the box of Google translator and I'll let it do the reading job, of course with Chinese accent.... If you'll never hear from me again, just know that I had a nice death... I died of laughter :)
Isn't the shorter pin some kind of standard too? For shavers in the bathroom. (found it, BS 4573) I think the Chinese often confuse it with the European plug.
I have had this exact same lamp for well over 5 years now and instead of smd components, they used tht with cone shaped leds and an additional ceramic capacitor. Quite reliable actually. Has been working every night since I bought it and sometimes if I forget to turn it off, whole day. Thought I have to be careful not to knock it off the socket and it's housing.
Could you make an energy lamp? Use a bunch of blue LEDs and it will be an anti circadian rhythm light to keep you up when you run out of coffee
You can just emulate true daylight, then. Look at DIY Perks, he made an fake sun that's unbelievably realistic!
You got me there, i could not stop laughing as you were reading the Jibberish lol :-D
It took me back to the 1980's instruction book that came with a new v.c.r.
Some of the instructions were impossible to do.
I ignored the manual and just played with the v.c.r controls, it didn't take long to understand it.
Why does chinglish still exist?
Because Chinese companies don't have the money to hire English-speaking/writing people. So they improvise with hilarious results :)
@@imnotbeluga007 I have had quite a few chuckles when trying to read chinglish.
Perhaps it is o.k, it's easy to use the grey matter and guess the jibberish :-D
2:27 here CE actually means "China Export". Chinese intentionally made the logo very similar to "Conformite Europeenne" logo 🙂. The only difference between the logos is that in "China Export" logo the letters are much closer to each other.
Him reading the description is hilarious, it’s like the people responsible writing it halfway just gave up and did not give a single f*ck about it. I love dodgy and sketchy gadgets. 💯👌
mmmmmmmm. I like it when my laboratoty bathroom has distinctive flavor and taste.
You just have to Love "Chinglish"... It's such a versatile language 😁
Shame about the plug because the housing is roomy and a good shape and could be used for something else or a hacked version of this board
wtf how you wrote this 1 day before if this video has been recently up 1 hour ago? is obama behind all this?
@@picanazo420 Probably a Patreon supporter.
3:00 a few MM difference doesn't matter... The only thing that matters is how carefully you slide it in the holes.
Had a date like that once 10/10 would recommend 👍
Sad you didn't replace the resistor with a blob of solder and power it up, so it would make some nice fireworks ☺
Would be really interesting to see you try out a few of those cheap $5 logic analyzers. And maybe a few of the more medium-priced ones that are still only $15 or $20 maybe a little more.
Maybe dslogic would send you one to do it tear down. Also there's another few companies on banggood and elsewhere that combine a pretty high speed logic analyzer with analog channels capable of oscilloscope type measurements as well. And even more expensive one I almost bought that had a built-in curve tracer
The power supply of this night light is somehow like these capacitor power supplies. The disadvantage is the power consumption of resistor. I made such kind of night lights by myself because most of the commercial ones are way too bright for my taste. I just want to find the orientation if I need to go to the bathroom at night.
In my design I have used a high efficiency warm white LED operating by a current of only 2 mA. To reduce the voltage I have used a X2 capacitor with 33 nF with a parallel bleeding resistor of 1 MOhm. It is followed up by a small full bridge rectifier, a 5.1 V Zener diode and a 22 µF electrolytic capacitor. A series connection of a 100 Ohm resistor and the LED is connected in parallel. Under this arrangement the 5.1 V Zener diode generates a voltage drop of only 2.7 V at a bias current of only 60 µA. Most of the current goes through the LED branch. At the LED the voltage is 2.5 V. So the power consumption of the LED is only 5 mW. The total power consumption of the circuit is 8 mW. Most of the extra power is used in the rectifier.
It gives well enough light for the darkness adapted eyes and the power consumption is so small, that it is not necessary to switch it off during the day time. I use three of these night lights, in corridor, bath room and living room.
Like the way you talk.great videos you make
babe wake up, new DiodeGoneWild just dropped
I think they smoke their flourescent powder while writing this 🤣 🤣 🤣
Do you think the aluminum substrate board gives any significant extra cooling to the resistor? I assume the majority of cooling would come through the solder pads... and I don't think those pads are directly connected to the aluminum. The resistor wouldn't work very well if there was a near-zero resistance metal connection underneath it...
It is fun to critique the spelling and grammar errors on Chinesium crap! Great video as usual.
„… there is no fuse.“ - The resistor IS the fuse. 😂 Or the exploding LEDs, as you like.
I think those chinese use OCR translations. How else would you get those typos
yeah probably, at least somewhere in that software chain they (ab)used to get this mess.
new diodegonewild character: random sort of dodgy multimeter
Hahahaha i love these manuals 😂😂
Would be cool to see you make and isolation transformer for your lab
The pins of te mini European plug are parallel, that's why it falls out. You should read more instruction manuals from China. Amazing, bloody hell.
I laughed so hard at the script on the back of the package that I threw up a little. It seems like a 8yr old wrote it. Hilarious... LMFAO
did he say its made from advanced electric and material??
Love your website it's help me lot
the translation... Great LOL 🤣🤣
Danny, in which videos did you use a small chamber to measure Lux or Lumen of your LEDs? I cant find the video I saw you doing it.
I am still waiting for your bench power supply restoration video series 😅 please made it quickly
nise resistorkalkulator ❤
That description is just like from some parallel universe, where things evolved slight diferentlly :D :D
Thank you. Keep working. Good luck!
Chinglish level 10!
Resisteeeeeeeeeer. Love you bro
Maybe they have some floo powder :p
@DiodeGoneWild -
There is a "fuse": the thin wires ...
Also the isolation of the plug´s pins looks like molded from the same thermoplastis of housing (this can not be good)
Hey I have a question for you buddy I'm there's these flat super slim adapter quick charge 3.0 can you take a look into them because I bought one off of Amazon it says it's 18 w but I'm not getting would you mind looking into it
ten odpor vypadá na 1205, ten může být až na 500V 0,5W v pohodě, záleží jaký tam zrovna osadili od jakého výrobce
Classic dgw! 🙂👍
Thanks
Trpileguarantees are SO in this season.
I really like when you say "Doggy" 😂❤
And of course i love at he says "catculators" 😂
A few years ago I bought one. I added a capacitor and it stopped blinking. I don't remember the capacitance.
Be careful, this may contain CnUo (Chinesium-Unobtainium alloy), which may emit Forceful Rays.
Thanks. Gave me the best laugh of the day.
Funny instructions though 😂😂😂😂
I have never seen in my life so many writing mistakes on one product. If it was me, I could give it a pass because English is my third language, but since it was someone working at a big Company and not some CZcams chump like me, we can't forgive that.
Flourescent powder
If there are no cute kitty cats present a video must be demonetized.
I've missed hilarious english on the packaging of chinese products. Most companies seem to have got their heads around translation these days, but this is a return to form.
imagine if this video had subtitles... 😂
i like to love those manuals :)
That is the cheapest construction possible, Al pcb
Perhaps they could use AI to write product descriptions for them. It would be still complete nonsense but without grammar errors, at least.
... or use ChatGPT to correct their English. It's pretty good at rendering such things into proper English - I've just tried and the output is decent.
Can you give us that link to the DIY watt meter please? You mention it at 3:28 Thanks!🤗
There it was at 3:43

chinanglish - lots of fun back in China (also in Japan for Japanglish) lol.
Damn that translation from chinese 🤣🤣🤣
2:22 Some people say I lack taste. Forceful taste might really suit me. Maybe a dozen...
Another dodgy product, love your cat who fully agrees that it is dodgy. Amazing that this dangerous crap is sold to the public.
"essential for the DAILY life of family"... i dont think the chinese understood it is used at night...
No doubt, it comes from backchina where google translator don´t work or is unknown.
And some pictures so you can take a look into this
please next,usb killer and whats iside
maybe you can do a video about logos of ce as european standard vs ce as china export :)
This doesn't have enough components on it to be considered even e-waste.
That's why they added the random drops of leaded solder onto the plastic housing ;).
@@DiodeGoneWild 😂😂😂😂
AWESOME ChInglish, LOL!
It has to be difficult to make a product so bad, that one is unable to reuse the plug, the housing, the leds AND the driving circuitry for anything useful.

@@picanazo420 THIS EXPLAINS SO MUCH! 😆😆🤣
2:27 I think that everyone thinks that "CE" stands for European certification but I believe there is actually another "CE" which signifies some Chinese certification. Now why the Chinese certification body would choose "CE" as the marking to put on certified products' labels, I don't know. Truth be told, I've never seen a product with two "CE"s on it, i.e. one for China and one for Europe.
CE - Chinese Excrement.
That's just a myth. CE is is SELF-certification that the EU requires on products. It means the company basically says "we comply with certain european regulations, trust us bro." if they print the CE logo onto something. That's all. Since noone checks these claims, especially for chinese companies, the certification is valid, but useless at the same time, since the chinese government will never come after any company for violating any international laws.
Makasih bang bagus sekali
Instructions are funny :)
