I mainly bought this to explore the very slim power supply that converts 120/240V to the current regulated supply for the LED.

The construction of the actual downlight is pretty good too, with a sensible retention system.

There is an element of serviceability in that a new LED could be fitted, although it would have to be the 16mm module as opposed to the classic Luxeon star style. There are other downlights that can accommodate the standard Luxeon-star modules.

Very slim mains LED driver for tiny downlights

This is a tiny low power LED downlight with a very interesting power supply that has been sized to pass through a very small (18.5mm) hole. With a suitably small connector. that allows the lights to be serviced without needing access to the area above the ceiling. The little downlight is also quite well designed with a retaining system that is less likely to damage a plastered ceiling. Directly imported mains powered items should never be regarded as being safe to handle when powered. Always work with power off or wear suitable gloves while handling them. This light came from AliExpress (not a sponsor):- https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005009316304421.html If you enjoy my videos and would like to buy me a coffee or cookie, you can do so by supporting me on Patreon.
