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).

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.

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...
Much like USB, HDMI has several different types of plugs and ports. Type A is the standard one. A trapezoidal port with two rows of pins, top and bottom, totals 19 pins. It can be found anywhere, from gaming consoles to CCTV servers and TVs. Type B, Dual-Link. The same height, but twice the length of type A, hasn't been used in any products. Type C, mini HDMI. A scaled-down version of the original port is intended for portable devices like laptops. Type-D, micro HDMI. Even a smaller version looks like a mini USB plug. It is used in GoPros and ultra-portable computers the size of a Macbook Air at the time (like the Asus eeePC or various Windows 'ultrabooks'). micro HDMI and mini USB on a GoPro 3+ Every single type of HDMI port (except the dual type B one) has a total of 19 pins. The first eight are for data, and the rest are for power, clocks, and additional functions. That means the most basic functions of video transmission can be carried out by just five pins. MHL, or M...
General description LRS-75-24 is a 24-volt power supply with a maximum current of 3.2 amperes. According to the manufacturer, the unit operates at a mains voltage of 100 to 240 volts without an additional switch. It has no PFC function. The supply measures approximately 4 × 4 × 1 1/5 inches (99 × 97 × 30 millimeters) and is made on a printed circuit board fixed to the base of the metal case. The top cover is perforated, and the holes are meant for passive cooling. The input and output circuits are connected to a common screw block (1). From right to left, there are 3 terminals for the input line, neutral, and ground wires, and terminals 4 and 5 are the outputs: ground and +24V. The input voltage goes to the fuse and inrush current limiter (2), then to the RF interference filter (3), and finally, to the diode bridge (4). The inrush current limiter has no markings; apparently, it is just an NTC. The rectified mains voltage is supplied to the 150 uF, 400V capacitor (5) and then to t...
