OKAY now I need one. Nope sign modification to be performed. Thanks

You can just clean the paint off with a solvent, make letter stencils then get a can of spray paint and it will say anything you want.

im laughing so hard

+Tom Varley They do indeed have a matching sign that says CLOSE.

My first thought was for a door with access control that had failed open during a powercut, but in which case you'd want the sign to be off when power was available and only come on when it failed ..

But you can't turn the sign off without taking it apart.

There are more Chinese products than markets. I'd say even if there isn't a market, there's a cheap Chinese product for it

Or maybe the Chinese folks who made it have no idea what it says.

I was thinking something similar, I can imagine a number of services that may need to indicate they're "open" in an "emergency". Even just a help desk or something at a hotel.

trustnoone81 use this simple component in every circuit to trick your power meter!! electric companies hate it!!! (insert imagination... red - green flashing text)

Lmao yeah, that's where my mind goes every single time I see a non-clickbait video title that happens to have "weird" in it.

Meh, I can do it better. *MUST WATCH!!!! VERY WEIRD OPEN SIGN WITH DANGEROUS SCHEMATIC!!!! (SHOCKING!!), (GONE WRONG!!), (GONE SEXUAL!!) // FREE 200 FIDGET SPINNERS GIVEAWAY + RED HOT KNIFE VIDEOS AT THE END!!!! WATCH IT RIGHT NOW!!!!!!*

Simon Hollingshead oh that last one, thats gonna be useful. I hate it when people trip into the interdimensional portals I forget to block occasionally

drkastenbrot the liability insurance on that must be dreadful!

Charlie Fleming Power generator or backup lights.

Would you doing that be considered " reckless abandonment "?

I was disappointed I couldn't find one lol

daoneTM I'm sure that's what it was intended for, but the eBay listing still said "Emergency Lighting"

what if the creator was a non English speaker? mind 🌟blown ✴️

Customers who need this are probably used to buying things that are somewhat repurposed, and leaving it under "emergency lighting" foreshadows the feature set exactly; it is actually an emergency exit sign with different front paint. Real customers will understand, even if bigclive doesn't. He's just playing with it, he isn't the intended customer.

railspony what real customer would need this? why not just buy an actual exit sign?

Or 4/20 shops.

I would want to add N.O. momentary switch(es) connected across the transistors in the same way he shorted them, to add ON/OFF functionality to the sign though, as a mains-connected open sign that stays on for (at least) three hours after you unplug it is kind of a pain, you'd have to physically take it down each day. Just ditch the "test" board and add it in there, then this is a pretty functional product.

Yep, our registers are down and anti-theft devices don't work but everyone must know we're still OPEN ;-)

Ain't nobody got electric registers or card readers in the third world.

think about what you just typed gant

My first comment was sarcasm.

Agreed, that would be great. I believe he has mentioned doing this series in a previous video.

Isn't that what this channel is already?

John S i am thinking the same but EXIT might then be better...? Another guess: The manufacturer tricks everyone into buying these as (uncertified) emergency signs but still can say „it’s just an open sign“

+Carsten Langbo That will happen.

Proper emergency exits signs should be wired into a lighting circuit with an in-line fuse. Had to have two installed in our own small theatre here in France. A local electrician wired them into the mains circuit so we had to change them to conform. An emergency light must be tested periodically and a record kept, hence the test button. Quality emergency lights can be wired either always on or only on when power off (or if in the switch circuit when the house / auditorium lights are off.) They also have an end that opens to accept different signs / symbols i.e. arrow left / right or below sign to indicate where the emergency door is.

Same fucking shit mate. The only difference is the amount of stickers issued by government institutions and the massive tax stemming from it. Watch's AvE's video "BOLTR $500 industrial flashlight" about it.

debbie62140 Can't be set up for power fail only here in Australia anymore apparently. We had ours set up for manual switching plus power fail, but had to go always on when we needed new ones. Something to do with power not necessarily being out when you need to evacuate (like in a fire I guess).

bigclivedotcom I have a few

Yeah, I don't think the results would be too good without the caps. I think the reason they use two is the small capacitor can handle the high-frequency part that would shorten the life of the bigger capacitor. That way you don't have to pay for expensive low-ESR caps.

And replace the front panel with SLUTS.

+bigclivedotcom - You never cease to impress!!

I didn't realize that brits didn't/had not coined their own word for those. Now I feel a little less americanski.

...And add flashing LED's for extra effect.

Why not OPEN SLUTS?

and my "WbAW" probably has an update to, i should go check. that is "Whiteboard Audio Workstation" instead of a DAW, I had to demonstrate audio editing to help explain something but I saw a whiteboard on the table. you can figure out what happened from there. P.S. I think DaveCAD is higher quality and doesn't crash as often. lol

This makes most sense to me, i cant see any other reason

just like my emergency light flashlight torch, all I had to do was add a battery switch and cord.

that sounds useful

I really should do a Manx-meet.

Maybe the initial design just calls for the aluminium back plate to be a matching "CLOSED" glass instead, and you just turn it around when you leave...

+Bas van der Sluis All productive work benches are piled high. A clear bench is a sign of inactivity.

they can't because the tween's that they higher don't know how to do math in their head ( nor did they care to learn? ).

+Jerry Ericsson If I can travel back in time I'd go back to the 70's to usher in the electronic era again. It was just an incredible time.

Oh ya, man I still recall looking over my fathers shoulder as he poked around in our old AM radio. I ran on a large battery pack, almost identical to the ones I used in the old AN/PRC77 radios in Nam. He would tell me to look for the glow in the tube to try and decide which one was going bad when the old radio misbehaved. That radio was the entertainment center for us back in the 1950's, and my love for electricity grew from those days. When we moved off the farm and into town, where we had electricity, I began tearing apart every electronic thing I could find, regular trips to the dump ground found me tons of things to tear down, and rebuild into HI-FI sets, this was before Stereo came along. Yes it was a wonderful time indeed, I was in the US Army as a communicator for 8 years during, well the first 8 years of 1970 beginning working with field phones and wire, and ending up running my own communications section at an infantry company level , with cross-training in land line teletype, and radio teletype, those early RATT rigs were huge and needed a deuce and a half to haul, the latter versions were on 5 quarter trucks and much more compact, and more powerful with their SSb radios.

It needs the alternating polarity.
