It's definitely deformable, but I'm not sure how this unit prevents seepage, or even what they mean by that. This is a folding lamp that can be angled to suit the area you want illuminated, while also conveniently fitting into a small shipping box. The construction seems OK, although the power dissipation and plastic casing is a bit concerning for LED longevity. The driver layout looks OK and is quite neat.

This is a first. It's an Eveready branded surge protection strip that had already been involved in a terrible incident involving smoke and flames before it even got packaged. In fact, probably WHILE it was being packaged. On a plus note I get to talk about MOV (Metal Oxide Varistor) surge suppressors and then explain why it was probably just as well it went on fire in the factory anyway.

These look great. They're 3D printed crystal shapes in various sizes printed as hollow objects in clear PLA. When standard LED strings are inserted into them they light extremely well. In this case I'm making a number for use on a themed Xmas tree as part of a display in the local town hall. The Manx Beard Club submitted an entry called the Kryptonite Tree by the Department of Villainy. It's going to be an all green tree with green LED strings (with random crystals) and a green LED flame-lamp as a topper. We're hoping it will keep Superman at bay while we commit villainous Xmas deeds. The file for the long quartz crystals can be found at:- https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2331329 They were printed on a Cetus 2 at 100%, 75% and 50% scales using clear PLA filament.

This is an optional attachment for contactors that is designed to detect a motor drawing more current than normal, and triggers a latching contact that turns the motor off. Motors draw a base current that increases with the load applied. There are many things that can cause excess load on a motor, like a physical obstruction, build up of debris in a machine, loss of lubrication or just wear and tear of bearings and guides. Another common overcurrent situation is loss of a phase, where the motor struggles to turn. That can cause many machines in a factory to trip their motor protection circuits. Some do have phase failure protection that will turn the machine off if it detects a phase failure or accidental reversal of phases. You do get programmable electronic ones now, but this one is a traditional bimetallic unit with low resistance heaters in series with the load that will cause the internal trip levers to deflect according to the current flowing through them. When I showed the trip mechanism activating at the end, the cream coloured section that was popping up had both the normally closed and normally open contact plates on it. These units can save expensive motor replacements. If they start tripping regularly it may be time to check the machine is running properly. Resist the temptation to nudge the trip threshold up above a sensible level.
