Air "freshener" hack gone wrong

I may or may not have had a slight incident involving LEDs and 240V.

I quite enjoy just randomly modifying things for no particular reason at all. It's very therapeutic to do something with no real purpose. That's what I was doing here, until I inadvertently added some excitement.

When I smooshed the LEDs in to make way for the bottle, a solder spike pierced the other conductor. It was a one in a thousand chance with quite a few variables.
The reassuring crack was an LED demonstrating their excellent abilities to break high current faults in a controlled manner.

When I replaced the LEDs I cropped them down in size to leave room for the wire.

This also keeps the channel independent of YouTube's advertising algorithms allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty.
