LED still works almost week later 24hrs a day on, never turned off yet so 200 ohm resistor not mandatory but recommended to last longer.
The resistors are mandatory to limit the current. I'm not familiar with your specific string of lights, but I'm going to guess that there was probably 4-5 LEDs with resistors. Removing 1 is going to increase the current proportionally. Its also going to dramatically increase the power consumption of the remaining resistors causing them to overheat and fail. If you were to replace another one and not use the resistor you'll blow the entire string.
Likewise if you replace too many blue LEDs with red ones, you also blow the entire string.
tchevrier long time later 🤞🤞🤞Gonna ask. Why do I have a slew of blue ones blown? Is that usual?
Questions answered within the first minute or two without unnecessary blathering? Kudos, I appreciate the info so much and have fixed lights! 👍👍👍👍
Tamptec, thank for this amazing video! To you, this may seem an easy fix. Because of you, I can now keep my string of lights out of a landfill, and save a few bucks, as I now don’t need to replace them. Thanks!
Thanks for the super helpful video! I learned so much. No more throwing out my broken string lights.
Thank you for sharing this educational and well put together video. Now I have a good understanding how to fix my led lights since I am still learning.
Thanks! Your presentation was easy to follow.
Just what we needed to get our lights back up and running! Thank you for posting this! :)
Excellent video, thanks for the help. You explain things very clearly. This video was very helpful!
Great video. Very thorough. Thanks!
Thanks
TREMENDOUSLY helpful! Thank you so much!
Great video! Thanks for the troubleshooting tips!
Good description and very informative! Thanks!
This will be very helpful!
The problem is, how do you locate that bad LED to begin with? Ugh. Thanks though, have used several of your videos for different things (TV main board R&R, fishing wire through wall, etc.), very helpful!
If one bulb goes out on a 25-bulb strand how do you find it? Going through each individual light checking the socket, then testing the bulb with the Light Keeper Pro bulb tester is a lot of work - especially if the strand is in-place outdoors.
Wow, thanks! The things Noma doesn’t tell you...😊
Nice video, very well explained.
Hi tampatec...first of all thanks for the information on your channel!!! I know it's not related to this problem,but I have a samsung tv lcd and the screen went black and have a couple of faint line vertical in the screen,the back light is working do you think it's the t-con? I changed a bad cap which was bulgy too...thanks again 👍🏻
Great Video Tampatec!
THANK YOU, y Feliz Navidad!
Man, helpful video. Thank you!
Thanks for the tips. Have a Merry Christmas!
That was really helpful, thank you.
Great video! Very educational for me.
I LOVE your tree! Where did you get it?
Good job , some tips i had not considered Thanks
Great video. Thanks for posting.
Thanks
You are the man!
Thanks! That helped with my Halloween lights. First bulb I tried was the culprit. That's never happened before!
Lucky, lucky.
Thank The videos are very educational and I'm learning 👍
thank you so much
Hi tampertec, great information! could you help me a diode test it's not the straight diodes I'm ok with them,it's the schottky diode testing I'm getting 174-200,as you see it's well low .diode test range. IN5822 old and new numbers match!what do you think?
Thanks for pointing out the unique technology of the LED lamp. I replaced one and it didn't light. I'm going to turn it around and I'll bet it lights.
Thank you for teaching me this... Are you on twitter I wish I would have known this on my led the bulbs rust my case was only have the string would light I never thought to check the fuses and led bulbs... I noticed on he lights the resistor is on the end of the lights and its housed in green plastic I never seen LED bulbs with the resistor on one end
200ohm resistor limits current so LED light last longer.
+Tampatec Will I get more channels using an amplified indoor antenna
Had a broken pin one of the leds on my phillips lights. Thanks
where did you get the DMM probe you used to test the fuse ... at 1:01 ?
All multimeters come with leads. You should verify resistance with another meter.
Bloody Hell , Colin Farrell is now doing electrical repair videos lol
Good vid as usual from Tampatec the best electrical repair vids on youtube!
>l;o)
Thx
I tried pulling the bulbs but they won't come out. I don't wanna pull too hard and break it. What should I do
Bill Of All Trades use rubber gloves or unplug power then use small flathead to lift out the base.
Your awesome
is there a glue to fix thick glass?

What if you don't have a fuse in your LED?
it was very informative but the only thing is i only spent 4$ at the $1 $tore, like how i used the buck S? lol. and also to the replacement light has to my discovery lost its support little collar else the bulb will just float about in its socket. so i got 19 + now replacement led lights with the collars still on them to. i think I'll weather till the buck shop opens tomorrow. oops! the so called missing light was that 1 extra space on the stringer they got on there for whatever reason. but in the move i guess its lil plug popped out and now the string is shot for reasons still I'm yet to discover. Marry Christmas 1 n all!
you have to be very careful replacing LED lights. I would not recommend doing what you showed for risk of burning out every LED in the string. Strings of LED lights are very precisely designed based on the amount of LEDs and the colour.
First of all people need to understand that the forward voltage of LEDs is different for the different colours. Blue and white are the highest where-as red and orange are the lowest. Changing one colour for another, especially when you replace a blue LED with a red one increases the current throughout the entire string. Changing 1 out probably won't have an affect because the current is still within the operating range, but if you were to do that for several blue lights, its almost certain that you will burn out all of the LEDs. In your video you replaced a 3mm blue LED with a resistor, with a 5mm red LED without a resistor. That is asking for trouble.
Resistors are essential to keep the current within the LEDs operating range. Without, you are basically just shorting out the LEDs. The problem is that every manufacturer uses a different method for installing the resistors. Some attach 4 to 5 small 1/4 w resistors to the LEDs, some will install a single 1-2 w resistor somewhere in the wiring. It all depends on the manufacturer and if you don't know how they've done it, you're taking a huge risk a damaging the entire string of lights.
I would suggest replacing the LED with exactly the same part, unless you can do the electronic calculations.
@Angelo LMAO. No! You are completely wrong. The LEDs are in fact coloured. Cmon man
Have you ever taken the cover off and looked at them ? Because if you had you would realize that you were wrong.
Additionally, the white LEDs used in Christmas lights are not actually white. They're usually UV or high frequency blue with a phosphorescent coating.
@Angelo LMAO. C'mon man. Have you ever taken apart a string of LED lights? I didn't think so. Have you ever used LEDs or designed them into a circuit? I didn't think so.
Let me explain something to you. The LEDs used in those specific strings of LED lights ARE coloured. Do you know how I know? Because I have actually removed them and powered them up separately, and they are individually coloured. The epoxy coating that covers the LED is clear. The colour of the LED comes from the semi-conductor material used to construct the LED which is a very specific wavelength of light. And thus the forward bias voltage of each is different. What I said above.
Now with respect to what you said. White is NOT a colour. It is not a specific wavelength of light. White light is literately a figment of our imagination. It is a combination of different frequencies of light that our brain interprets as white. So in order to have a white LED you need to combine multiple colours. In Christmas lights and most LED lighting systems they use a high frequency blue or ultraviolet LED with a phosphorescent material in the epoxy coating. Kind of light a fluorescent light bulb. That is how they get white light from an LED and also why they tend to have a slight bluish colour to them.
Now you referred to the "cover". The cover is the piece he removed. That is coloured but the LED is also coloured as I just explained. Now you are probably getting screwed up because he used that LED. First that is not what is used from the factor. Second, and this is the most important part. While the epoxy coating is red the semi-conductor is ALSO RED. It is not white.
Do you understand?
@Angelo 3 weeks ago. The last time I did that was three weeks ago. Here is some information for you. There are considerably more than 6 different types of LEDs.
The voltage has nothing to do with the production of LEDs. That is an inherent property of the semi-conductors used.
The last part of your sentence does not make sense. No it is not cheaper.
Yes, I most likely do know more than you.
@Angelo Please if you find something else let me know. no sarcasm, just sincerity.
A resistor doesn't make "LEDs last longer" it just limits the current across the LED
Which in the long run makes the led last longer. Thanks for coming out champ.
Clint .R coming out? And no it has nothing to do with how long it lasts, the led can keep going forever as long as there’s power to it😂
@West Park stop it you don't know what you're talking about. Of course they follow ohm's law. Everything in electronics does. Just because you don't know it doesn't mean it doesn't follow the law. Look up voltage drop across LEDs and if you know anything about electronics you'll understand it DOES follwlow ohms law
yo when that bike generator video at tho g
+Greg'sTheBest its on my list, i really want to do it different from others. :)
can u help me
My local park even agreed with being by the water the LED lights rust in the sockets and failed to work but the incandescent lights always last longer the question you said sand paper what if the rust is inside the light socket
try use hot glue gun to seal cracks so water can't corrode led.
+Tampatec hey i was watching your wiiu vid and i was gonna ask does it work for sanyo flat screen tv cause im getting one for me and my bro for chrismas
nice vdo
HOLA solo quería saber porque mis luces de navidad led no tienen fuerza para brillar ya que si funcionan todos los foquitos. ojalame ayuden.
I would not be testing that bulb in a light keeper pro. It will fry the bulb.
red and blue jajajajan
Hi, hope someone can help me, the first part of my led string is on but with really low intensity, the rest is ok, the fuses seem ok, there are also several like small containers through the string that seems to have something inside, they are connected to the whole string, but I cannot open them
Jhoan Sebastian de la Garza I have this same problem. The lights glow a very dim red color, with one random bulb that is bright. There are 4 strands in the series and the first and third strand do this. I've replaced the fuses. They started doing this after they were up, so I haven't changed bulbs yet, plus it's like 75 feet of bulbs. Ugh! Obviously electricity is going through because the last stand lights as it should. Please if someone can help!
Check the socket to see the wire leads are good .found that out pulled all of mine out in one section that was out the wires were laying flat .
Same problem I had. Those 'small containers' are the resistors (in my string there are only diodes, no resistors - so that is what those 'blank canisters / containers' are, the inline resistor). My problem was water had gotten into one of them... remove it like a bulb (except you can't grab the top, I used a torx screwdriver that was small to knock it gently out from the back side), clean it out, see what the resistor was if you can, if not remove one that works and find out what you will need, and replace it. Worked like a champ for me!

In summary, take all bulbs off and test each one of them 🙄
soooo hard😈

bad
i was having a problem with my oven so I sat the turkey on the glass table " not thinking " and the turkey was so hot it cracked the glass on the edge smh
