My local store purchased a lot of this Chinese LED striplight JH-12C for himself they are dying like flies, I offered to look at one (he has 20 duff plus a shop full fitted).
I found a small power supply based on a TP8533 IC with three worn out capacitors fitted inside, from a look at it the LED's are fed from a rectified bridge so in effect live, this is fed into two strips of led's on a pcb slid into a aluminium backing with a white defuser.
The supply to it from mains is via a twin lead with no filters etc, insulation is via the rear of led's pcb and plastic ends to its metal backing.
Should it have an earth connection? or would it be rated as isolated?
I can fix the duff Chinese capacitors with 10,000 hour+ quality parts and leave it that or get more involved?
Now I note TYCOLIT is a reputed brand and the logo this has is different in a small way, plus other labels lead to not much of interest with the German location one only saying its a shop for food and goods but you have to sign in, and has a Chinese Director.
Can anyone shed some light on the issues I have raised please
Many Thanks from David
