I fixed a China Torch with New LEDs and a Diode, it failed probably on a drop shock, the battery wire cut … then when put on charge Few LEDs went bad, as battery was absent in ckt.

Lots if Light on One Watt, yes this works, but should be built by those experienced in High Voltage usage and Knowledge of insulation techniques.
Home Made Circuits.
This has to be encapsulated in a insulated fire retardant plastic enclosure. You can change the values around what is indicated to experiment with types of White LED available.
This project is not for Youngsters or those who are still learning. High Voltage can cause injury and can be fatal too, when used or applied without experience, training or supervision.
A typical Mains Powered China Lamp. On power down, LED light turns on for around 1/2 hr. Gets damaged on lightning activity and wide (uS not nS) transients above 300V. Drawing may have error.
Many products and components were made over the last 10 years with less regard to voltage and current ratings and product safety.
The circuit design is not everything, engineering the product for reliability, usability and safety is very important. This Schoodle is like a Satire to emphasize the responsibility of electronic manufacturing and engineering.

Many people give up on Wireless Keyboard Mouse Combo after a few months of "Novelty". This is due to the chore of replacing batteries and also the cost and wastage (carbon foot).
This is another LED lamp from China, these people make nice lamps and also good designs of the plastic enclosure. Here by a clever enclosure design it is both a emergency mains bulb and Torch/Flashlight.
