Beat the devil out of it! Heheheh.

They'll be "Truly epic, Man . . " :-)

As opposed to AvE's angry pixies.

and with more food breaks.

brickley2000 ~ OH WOW! What a Visual, psychedelics with a screw driver or ~ Gin.

I bet soundspark gets allll the ladies

@Ben Turner Before you start calling people a 'fucking gay' I think you really ought to know Clive is gay.

The writing on back of that cheap led say 20 w. He was holding it upside down.

Mmmmm, jamaican tomato plants! =)

@@Peter_S_ Cannabis needs PBAR which is a much wider range than PAR. LEDs can't do PBAR which is why HID is still king for quality (LEDs are great for quantity)

Well, actually, that is a serious business in China. if you're foreign, some companies will hire you just to sit there in meetings and say garbage to a translator, just so the company seems diverse.

I worked a bit with China Mobile They wanted English recordings for their phone announcements, so I recorded some for them. I have no idea if they used them or if they still use them!

that drverless led at 13:00 say "mal" that is "bad" in spanish...

It actually says "20W", but upside down.

mumbo666 ^ yup

Evil Ash Only if you add some nacelles, she's not going anywhere without them. :-)

Well... NOW it does!

They tend to fare badly in winter, but I'll be back to using the punchbag at the gym again soon.

clive has been sponsored by palmolive hand cream, that or he started doing the dishes with fairy liquid (no homo intent!)

Everybody is a joke (ster). That was funny as frig. SPONSORED by..

i know that feeling, i dont do any punching, but the gym tears up my hands even with gloves, add in lots of messing around with stuff i always have cuts and scabs

Will he be soaking in it? The Palmolive that is...

Elnufo if they could use one they would

if case is not metal its not necesary in fact

Well... the chinese are sort of right. I've never experienced unconnected earth to be a problem. In fact, none of the mains outlets in my apartment have any third earth connection, so even though the manufacturers of all my electrical devices might have connected earth, it still won't be connected when i plug it into the wall. I think the standard conventions depends a lot on which region you live in.

@@mortenrobinson I had no idea mains power earth wasn't a thing in some places!

​@@skylined5534 I think it might still be connected to the earth, just not on that third connection pin which is normally used for it. All the outlets in my apartment only has two pins (female), so I suspect the zero-pin might be connected to earth, and the 230ac pin would thus be with respect to the actual earth.

At this power output it would be ideal for cress.

bigclivedotcom yeah, "cress"

Would a quick swap of the driver and LED module easily upgrade this if you were the sort that preferred tomato's over cress?

I've never smoked Cress before.

I bought 2 reels of grow light led tape to grow my ''Cress''

Wolfin Seems like they used the LEDs to grow some herbs

Perhaps they've already done Big Clive's grow-light conversion, and this "translation" was fuelled by consumption of the "enhanced plant product" :-)

I think its kinda a wonderful as i cant really think of what they are trying to say or describe here i think it could be loosely used to describe the stargate scene from 2001 Space Odyssey?

It's one of those profound quotes that we have no hope of comprehending because the author is on another level of existence.

ha ha thats for sure

A bit late, but on his video on the HOPI meter he mentioned that the frequency readout is unstable on it, probably as that could be done by the chip that multiplexes the screen.

CMN atic why?

I’ve always done 20/4 for veg but it works as long as it’s around 18/6. I’ve heard they grow faster with 20/4 but are more prone to disease

I'd be the prime suspect instantly.

If I am correct it wasn't so much the power usage alone that tipped them off. It was the lighting cycle that they were able to tell, on, off, on, off. Still possible to detect these days, albeit maybe a bit trickier. Much easier and cheaper to mask with a dummy load during the off cycle though.

Legalise it and go catch real criminals.I never abused weed or alcohol,only tried it a few times in my life.But i can tell you,alcohol should be banned in favor of cannabis. Also,you can buy solar panels and then they have almost no chance at catching you.

CME True at least for the electric part. Still have to worry about thermal imaging though. I live in a Podunk town of 2300 and I remember it was in the paper quite a few years ago when they obtained thermal imaging. Unprotected, grow houses light up like a Christmas tree on thermal. The number one reason for them being busted has been, and always will be, messed up personal things such as a pissed off girlfriend though. Of course scale of the operation is a big factor too. A plant or two and you probably don't have much to worry about as long as you cross your T's and dot your I's. Hopefully we can pull our heads out of our asses and this changes in the future.

Who uses incandescent for grow ops? Most use at least HPS/Metal halide of no less than 400w.

who the f cares man

too much "plant" intake i guess xD

Wait, they don't exist in the USA?

Superior to what? Definitely better than slot heads, but I'd argue they're inferior to hex or Torx

They do, but they aren't very popular. Just another brand of screws on the shelf really. They usually just call them "square drive" or something like that. It's been a few years since I've been in a US hardware store.

They're so good the whole head shears off the screw instead of stripping it. I like them but not for heavy duty application. In such cases, hex head screws and a magnetic driver socket is love.

For me its Torx all the way. I don't like Hex head at all.

I have done that too.

and its not the first time it happened on his videos haha well he gets views i get some sleep win/win

Agreed, if i have trouble snoozing i usually play a clive vid. Mikeselectricstuff is also a nice channel for that. Indepth dismantling of electronics is bliss for bedtime!

So true. My favorite bedtime stories. And I'll do this lamp if I find that mysterious LED...

I forgot the flood lights he has ordered as well.

It's amazing that there's a boss ready for the earth connection (visible in the base @ 3:32), and they've crimped a ring terminal onto the wire. All that is missing is a liddle ol' self-tapping screw and it could be much better... Or are they relying on the driver being 'double insulated', therefore not needing an earth?

No.

Wow, you're up super early or you just finished a great night. Either way, thanks for the vid :)

I'm always up into the small hours of the morning.

"No" for two reasons. 1) The power company doesn't charge residential users based on power factor. 2) In a typical residence, a few lights with poor power factor doesn't change the over all power factor at the power meter. 40 watts of apparent power isn't that much. But a commercial account using a large number of these lights would be a different story.

Gadget Addict Is this a leading power factor as its a capacitor rather than a lagging power factor from a transformer therefore helping the supply company to balance the system. I would imagine they would be pleased to have some capacitance in circuit Or am I talking rubbish?

I have. I drilled and tapped the hole to take a 3mm screw afterwards.

710 cap moment

Check where KZfaq thinks you are. Some of my videos have been translated.

Any idea how to turn this feature off? I’m in Germany, but don’t want to see badly translated texts.

+v8s there *should* be an option somewhere in the YT settings along the lines of "Never translate content" or similar. Failing that, you might need to access YT via an IP address in the UK range. :-) (Ask a UK friend if you can run a VPN tunnel through their network or - Failing that, & if bandwidth fees are no problem - Try Amazon WS! :-)

I should do more full build videos. I'll keep that in mind.

Doesn't the TP break down? Coffee filters sound like a good idea though.

i use deodorant (non powdered) to clean thermal paste up

Isopropyl + paper tissues 2ply of course lol, is definitely the best cleaner for TP that I have found, and it also removes any oil or grease left from hands. I also clean my CPU's with Isoporpyl prior to applying TP and fitting in socket. I have a 20 litre drum of the stuff, it cleans all sorts of stuff, and is a good disinfectant as it kills most germs. Another thing I use it for is when ever I play with my stray cat she scratches the hell out of me, and I get itchy as crap so I spray some Iso on my hands and arms and within seconds all the itchiness disappears dam good stuff. When ever my dog gets ticks I remove the tick and use Iso on the wound and heals up very quickly like 1/3 of the time, my dog also gets really bad sores between his pores due to a carotene overdose that his body produces, tried all sorts of medication done nothing, good old ISO healed it up but it must be watered down to rubbing alcohol when using on Dogs feet. It really is a wonder liquid IMO.
