What current is drawn by LED mains night light?

Peter · 2009-09-23T20:06:53+00:00

How much current is drawn by an LED night light which runs off the mains?BTW what sort of circuit is used for a LED to run off the mains. Is it just a drop down resistor and a rectifier?-- (The one I have also has a photocell to switch off the light in the day but I don't think that bit of the circuit affects the current drawn.)

OTOH, I haven't seen many in power bars that still work. They are either:

1) Expired or 2) Sputtering themselves to expiry

Man, I hate them.

Do you know how to quote attributions correctly?

I didn't write any of the above. In fact my response was exactly about "sputtering".

Please be careful WHO you quote and HOW.

Don't you know how to read? The problem is upstream. I just replied to it.

For the record - it has been 5 days since I posted my offer to buy one of the LED lamps listed above and claimed to be a real product. No purchase information has been received.
