It’s more interesting inside than outside. We are fascinated by teardown different things to get to know them better.

Heating of different types of led strips on chipboard.
How hot are the LED strips on the chipboard without an aluminum profile
How hot are these LED strips on the chipboard with an additional diffuser?
Measurement description
We measured the LED chips’ temperature and the strip base hanging in the air in the last experiment. Now we simulated mounting the strip under the cabinet in a groove 1/2” deep.
At the bottom of the groove. Direct contact between the LED strip and the chipboard. Without an optical diffuser.
At the bottom of the groove. Direct contact between the LED strip and the chipboard. Additionally, we install a diffuser. The diffuser/shield closes the ambient air access and blocks the heat dissipation from the LED chips through the air. We do the temperature measurement immediately after removing the diffuser to access the measuring device.
Test bench and measuring instruments
We created a special test bench.The left photo — is without a diffuser, and the right photo — is with a diffuser.
We measured the temperature of each sample after 30 minutes of operation. During this time, the LED strip is fully warmed up and its temperature stabilizes.
Generation and dissipation of heat from the LED chip with a diffuser.
We make sure that the 24V power supply voltage remains constant and we measure the temperature of the LED strip chips in a room with an air temperature of 73 deg F.
We use a professional Fluke TiS65 thermal imager (accuracy for temperatures 80–160 deg F < 3 deg F).

This device records the temperature of the hottest chips in the central part of the field of view.

We also record the heating of the chipboard on the back side. We evaluate the effects of the chipboard’s thermal conductivity and the danger of heat to objects inside the cabinet.

Earlier in the post ( link ), we tested the Lenkeng LKV373 kit and verified that the delay was insignificant - 0.067 seconds. We recently examined the Lenkeng LKV383PRO over-IP extender kit, which upset us. Let's look into what the problem is. What's the difference between a regular twisted-pair HDMI extender and an over-IP 1. Regular twisted-pair HDMI extender. The transmitter and receiver are connected to each other by a single piece of twisted pair (usually 130 to 330 feet). The twisted pair is used exclusively as some transport for specific signals. Video is transmitted in its original quality and without delay in this case. 2. Over-IP HDMI extender. Transmitter and receiver work on IP protocol, which means they can be connected to a local Ethernet network. The transmission range is limited to IP protocol, i.e., 330 feet. The range can be increased if a switch is connected between the transmitter and receiver in the middle. In this case, the video usually shows signs of sli...
The primary and most common damage types are wire casing damages or cable installation errors. These typically are 'floating' defects and wire connection errors. Let's learn the technique of searching for those kinds of faults. AUTOMATIC DEFECT SEARCH Let's start with the automatic search mode. This method automatically compares defects detected on the reflectogram with a threshold value of reverse attenuation. The method of automated comparison with a threshold value greatly simplifies reflectogram viewing. If, for example, you set the threshold to 30 dBRL, the reflectometer will automatically display only the faults with a return attenuation value of 30 dBRL or less. FIXATION OF 'FLOATING' DEFECTS Locating 'floating' defects is another indispensable function of a modern reflectometer. Only with its help can it be possible to point out the locations of the periodically repeating effects of weak wire connections or reduced insulation resistance. Defect...
I have been interested in smart home systems, automation, and sensors for a long time. I like devices without reference to any manufacturer. So I often use the excellent Shelly Wi-Fi devices. These relays, controllers, and bulbs have an open embedded web server and are controlled via MQTT or web API. I recently made new lighting in my home lab. I used a Shelly RGBW2 controller (24 volts) for the bright white LED strip (main light) and Shelly Duo RGBW GU10 bulbs (background light). I immediately noticed discomfort in my eyes, and by evening my eyes were watery. I thought I had pinkeye, or the air in my room was dehydrated, or the street air was suddenly polluted. I agonized for two days. On the third day, I experimented with LEDs and a spectrometer for one of my future posts. I was getting extraordinary results. During one of the experiments, I pointed the spectrometer at my illuminating LED strip in the lab for comparison with samples. Bingo! I saw a scary pattern of light ripples. I a...
