Because he works as a rigger / repairer in the entertainment lighting industry, he has an unfortunate fixation with simple lighting devices. There are so many other interesting simple electronic devices he could explore. I used to subscribe, but got bored after too many Poundland LED lights.

His format is great, and he can certainly break it down well, but the content needs more variety.

mikeselectricstuff (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcs0ZkP_as4PpHDhFcmCHyA) is great if you want some variety of similar teardowns. He reversed engineered the Ipod Nano LCD amongst other things and managed to get his hands on some fully ceramic mil-spec CPU boards from the 80s(?) (Impressive hardware)

Check out Kerry Wong [1], he is tearing down old high end test equipment.

EEVBlog has good variety but I don't think he's heard the phrase "brevity is the soul of wit".
