RE: STEMGeeks favorite gadget contest: multi-function portable camping light

Hey, isn't that the one that is designed horribly with the circuit inside and if you plug in the USB while it's charging it will actually short the USB directly to mains voltage?

    you said,
    Seems like it is possible...
    I am not an expert.
    But I used it after charging.
    Feeling and whether it is charging, it seems that the relationship is not big..

    It is a pretty cool looking flashlight...but it does look to be the one that shorts to mains power when plugged in. So...it will fry pretty much any electronics plugged into the USB when it's plugged into the wall. This is due to the extremely simple design of the circuit board.

    Spent a few minutes finding the video where someone takes it apart and examines the circuit board. Hopefully they've fixed it since then...but I wouldn't risk it personally. Make sure you only charge it alone.

    To understanding,
    Thank you for telling me,
    I dare not use him when I charge.
