Show me your Chinese eGay/Amazon tat

[DrDonnyBrago]

I spent some time yesterday stuck on a train looking at very cheap Chinese/HK eGay tat that "could" be quite cool.

12v peltier element (£1.55):

Green LED voltmeter (£1.15):

A torch, £2:

Tempted by a brewing thermometer (could be terrible) £3.45;

Some of it looks ok. Voltmeter was discussed in a workshop thread. My brother has the torch and it's not as shite as it should be, certainly as bright as my LED lenser. I already have a few of the peltier elements, need another.

Found any other "not as shite as it should be" stuff?

its brighter than the sun and is water proof, mine ended up in the 3 foot of water and still functions fine - it even stayed on while in the water, good job too other wise I would not have been able to fine it. however now I have written this, I am not sure this come under tat

Jeez, the amount of impulse bought chinbay tat I've bought
is embarrasing.
I'm currently sorting out all my gadgets and stuff and if anything sticks out as particularly good or startlingly bad, I'll let you know

The worst that comes to mind is one of these 12v 'heaters'
I figured as the van take a while to warm up, it would be useful
to get the screen clear on winter mornings
Utter utter shite.

I've got a similar heater as the rear de-mister in my Landrover, actually does that job quite well. Must say a damp roll-up did better job of heating the cab up though.

Aff: "I have like 15 pairs of these:

By far the best I have found for the money (I have tried loads of cheap ones)."

Blanked out brand name, ships from China, marked 'Made in USA'. Well, it is cheap...

I'm not disputing the quality of the item, of course.

DC 6V-24V to USB DC 5V 3A Regulated Power Supply Module Board Black

Handy for a USB charge cable in a classic car.. (or bike?)

Fair enough! Still - it does raise the question.

I am actually after a torch, so will follow this incase of any bargains

I brought a head lamp torch just for the sake of it in home bargains the other day for £1.59

Got home, batteries in, and nothing. It was so shit the led cap fell off. Not an ounce of light was produced. I lol'd.... and took it back.

Do you run the t6 with one or two batteries? Not been impressed with them with a single lithium, but will depend on driver.
My daily push bike lighting involves a 12x t6 torch and a 7x t6 headtorch. Reasonable illumination!

U2 is the new version of the t6.

Most (but not all, of course) car USB chargers will go up to 24v (used plenty in my lorry), not sure if they'll go down to 6v.

3A is quite nice, however. Been thinking about hard mounting some in the truck, as it goes (though I do have the choice of 12, 24 or 240AC, so not short on options.)

[delsol]

Large tank angled PROF lighter, works well.

The volt meter works perfectly, cost me 86 pence delivered about 9 months ago.
