Why does the Clas Ohlson 36-6704 battery powered PIR LED strip drain its batteries every two weeks? We investigate and fix the issue. In short, the voltage regulator circuit in this product has an extremely high 3 mA quiescent current. This can be dropped down to about 100 µA if it's replaced by a real 3.3V LDO.
