0:19The lights switch off immediately when disconnected from external power, despite their charge indicators.
3:22Opening the first light reveals a severely swollen internal battery pack.
6:08The second light contains another badly swollen battery pack.
9:12Steve concludes that both batteries need replacing.
15:13The repaired light powers on, with working brightness and colour-temperature controls.

Steve wasn't planning to repair his lighting. Then two of his three Raleno 192 video lights developed the same fault: they showed a full charge but switched off as soon as external power was disconnected. Before he could get back to fixing other things, he needed to see what he was doing.

"Both My Video Lights Failed in EXACTLY the Same Way!" supplies the busiest viewing on StezStix Fix? during a week without new uploads. Opening the cases reveals badly swollen internal battery packs in both units. "This one's worse. Look at the state of that," Steve says on inspecting the second. Replacement batteries eventually restore a light's brightness and colour-temperature controls, earning a suitably economical verdict: "It works."

The repair has reached roughly 153,000 views. Its daily audience is more than twice that of either of the other uploads gathering the most momentum: a viewer-sent Milwaukee battery that charges but won't work under load, and Pete's NOCO jump starter, which refused to charge after a long stay in a shed. Apparently charged and actually usable are very different things on this bench.

Across the channel, daily viewing is below its usual level, while subscribers were unchanged over the week. Nearby gadget channels have had varied fortunes: Monitors Unboxed added subscribers and is drawing above-usual daily views, while Action Retro's daily viewing is also quieter than normal. For Steve, the unexpected lighting job remains the archive's main draw.
