    This is an egg shaped 10 euro R-G-B-CC-CW 'moodlight' that can be found in Action stores in te Netherlands. There is no power supply included, it requires a USB power supply to function.

    The device consists of a top and a bottom shell, the main pcb with pushbutton and usb-c connector is screwed into the bottom half and the board with 3 phillips screws and the board with the LEDs is snapped with plastic clips in the top half. Nothing is glued, its all just snapped together.

    Opening the device up is fairly straightforward just squeeze it hard right on the seam where the two halves meet. A wood clamp will make short work of this. Both PCBs are far enough away from the center of the device that squeezing it hard will not damage anything and the housing is sturdy enough to jump right back into shape even after opening it multiple times.

    As you can see in the second picture there's little notches that you have to line up when you are snapping it back together.

    Thanks. That's a very nice lamp, but I wonder how it looks like at night, on the shelf in the dark room?

    Have you added this lamp to our online database?

    I've also bought some new lights recently, but the ones I've chosen are modular:

    Just please remember, do not power device from mains when flashing, many power supplies do not provide isolation from mains and there may be live potential on even the ground lane! It's better to power from USB or other safe power supply.

    Yes - of course - but to be honest it wasn't connected to anything else than those 3 wires, visible on photo. I've flashed 3 units that way - don't know if it's a magic or just a science :)

    I think you can find explanation here: https://www.elektroda.pl/rtvforum/topic3977874.html
    There is a tiny current flow through protection diodes that sometimes may be enough to power the device.
