A roundup of popular AliExpress products, part 12
As usual, a reminder: to keep up with new posts on the blog, I recommend following me on Instagram. I'll post notifications about all new posts there, and might also write about something interesting now and then - link to account
A roundup of popular AliExpress products. I haven't bought these myself, but picked out products that other people buy very often, so there's a chance they're not all as bad as they sometimes turn out to be :)
Also, a reminder that AliExpress has cooked up another sale, which should be starting soon. Prices are listed before the sale discounts; see the links for details.
Litokala batteries, counterfeit HG2 18650 3000mAh cells. They don't match the specs, mainly in terms of maximum current, but overall they're quite suitable for loads up to 10-15A at this price. 10 pcs for $19.59, plus there's a $1 coupon - link
Inexpensive LED modules, 220-240 V input, rated at 10, 20, 30 and 50 W. Prices: $1.04 - 1.37 - link
Price is without a heatsink.
Also, inexpensive drivers for LED arrays, 8-50 W, 300 mA, priced at $1.01 - 1.75, link.
By the way, I've bought similar ones. Not bad, acceptable.
Thick, clear, double-sided adhesive tape. Good for sticking all sorts of stuff to other stuff. $1.12 - 2.98 for rolls from 1 to 5 m, link.
The same tape at another store, with 60,000 orders! - link
Outdoor wireless IP camera, advertised as 1080P/3MP, PTZ, Wi-Fi, 4x zoom, lots of configuration options, $25.65 - 54.79. There's a 1/40 coupon - link
Fasteners, lots of 50 pcs, thread sizes from M1.3 to M3, lengths from 2 to 30 mm, black/white, priced at $0.65 - 3.25, link
Mechanical keyboard keycaps. I can't say anything about them; I just noticed what seemed like a decent price and lots of orders - link.
Power bank that takes 4x18650 cells and has a display, $7.05 - link
1206 SMD resistors, 0R ~ 10M, 1/2 W: 0, 1, 10, 100, 150, 220, 330 Ω, 1K, 2.2K, 10K, 100K, 0R, 1R, 10R, 100R, 150R, 220R, 330R. Lots of 100 pcs, $0.28 - 0.40 - link
10 pcs/lot, 3 W, 5 W, 7 W and 10 W LED modules, with three color temperatures to choose from: warm/neutral/cool, $0.90 - 3.40 - link
Mileseey laser distance meters/tape measures, lots of options, priced at $15.72 - 69.99. There's a $1 coupon - link
Another tape measure, with 7,000 orders. It's advertised as waterproof to a depth of 30 m, though I still don't understand why you'd need that. $27.69 - 38.39 - link
Various suction cups, marketed for car repairs, but to me they look like ordinary suction cups. $1.67 - 6.10 - link
Folding 40x22 binoculars :) In short, it's a toy, but at $11.29 it'll do for kids - link
Some kind of clever, and of course innovative, window-cleaning cloth. Though the windows in my house look different, for example. Costs $0.43 - 0.97 - link
