Creator proves sign safety with camera.from @shivam_playground

[01]

Overview

The creator shows a sign box he made and addresses audience concerns about the LED bulb's heat melting the plastic by displaying screenshots of their comments. To test this, he uses a thermal camera to measure the sign's temperature after 18 hours of continuous use, demonstrating it only reaches 27°C. He concludes with a humorous comparison, pointing the camera at himself to show that his own body temperature is higher than the sign's.
