Capacitive dropper LED fixture. This design can power LEDs from the mains without a transformer. Shitty power factor, but cheap and efficient. Does not work for variable loads though, and if a LED goes open you get rectified mains voltage across the break (and across the smoothing cap), so it's a bit dangerous. I put a switch and a voltmeter in to demonstrate this.
