Hacking fake UVC germicidal LED lamps.

This video was originally going to show how to identify fake and real germicidal lamps on eBay, but randomly ended up as a technical video instead.

Both eBay and Amazon are flooded with fake germicidal lamps that are either just near UV (violet), a bright pastel blue designed to emulate the visual spectrum of mercury vapour tubes or in this case just a plain blue LED lamp.
They're still interesting colours, so I decided to modify a couple to reduce their power rating to extend the life of the LEDs and power supply components.

If you enjoy these videos you can help support the channel with a dollar for coffee, cookies and random gadgets for disassembly at:-

This also keeps the channel independent of YouTube's advertising algorithms allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty.
