Here is a challenge

[Mick Bailey]

I've just opened up a low-energy light bulb that had lost some output. Ever done this? Ever seen the amount of components in there?

This is what's in a GE 11w bulb no. FLE11DBX/827 ECO.....

9 x 1N4007 (that's right - 9!)
5 x 'greenie' caps, different values
2 x large film caps
5 x resistors
2 x semiconductors - marked as TR1 & TR2
1 x 350v 3.3uf electrolytic
1 x zener diode
1 x multi layer ceramic cap
1 x transformer
1 x choke
1 x wound component with 8 pins

Now the challenge is to make something out of one of these on a piece of Vero...........

Dragonfly posted a cool tutorial on this a few weeks back.  I think the circuits were Fuzz Face types.

Hey, now I just feel stupid! Honest, I did a search before posting.

Maybe this is what my partner calls a 'man's look' - where I say "can't find my blue socks" and she says "they're right in front of you - you need to do a woman's look"

That's why you should always have a girl debug all your builds..........
