The LEDs don’t particularly (unless it’s a very powerful one), their power supply does though. LEDs run on DC voltage, so they need a converter from the AC line voltage to not die instantly

On that same vein, recipes where you have the same ingredient going to multiple places irritate me when they don’t specify quantity in the main recipe, but only in the ingredients list.

For example if the ingredients are 2 cups of soy sauce, 1.5 cups for sauce, 0.5 cups for marinade, I want the recipe to say “add soy sauce to marinade (0.5 cups)” or something like that not, “add soy sauce to marinade” or “add remainder of soy sauce to marinade”.

Remainder could work if a very recent instruction says something to the effect of “measure 2 cups of soy sauce, add 1.5 cups to sauce” so there is a remainder to add, not just “lol add the rest idiot”
