      Wrong.
      You need to get a bucket of water for electrical fires.
      To be extra safe, make a small fire, fill the bucket, and put it on the fire for a few minutes. Take your shoes and socks off and stand in it, because the bucket has been on the fire, the water will be warm (for your comfort) that should help also because the fire won't be able to burn your feet, so you can run away if there is an electrical fire. Speaking of which, make sure you replace the fuses in your electrical box with cutlery, as the better connection will ensure you get better quality electricity (you can use the water bucket on the fire while you do this.
      Make sure you record the whole thing with your phone, so you will get rich from any youtube videos you make of it :)

  • @u2bist
    @u2bist 6 месяцев назад +3014

    Be aware that since the leds are in series, replacing one with a short (the foil) means the rest are individually handling about 11% more voltage than originally. You can get away with this much, but they'll run brighter and hotter than the were designed to, which will burn them out sooner. If you repeat the repair when another led goes, the remaining ones will be getting 25% overvoltage, and 42% if you do it a third time - which I suspect would burn them all out the moment you turn the bulb back on. But who knows, they might fool you and last long enough to melt the bulb housing and start a fire. If you decide to try that experiment do it someplace like the driveway, and definitely make a video to compete with the deep-fried turkey meltdowns.

It's reasonably likely to come loose when it heats up, and aluminum is a horrible conductor without solder because it oxidizes on the surface. A poor conduction can create a fire because resistance turns into heat.

      Sadly, back in the 1980s, our "professional town electrician" did this on a circuit in the fire station. Four hours later, the fire station caught fire. No lives were lost. We were able to get all the in-service trucks out, but an antique truck was heavily damaged. It was eventually bought by a collector and rebuilt.
      As to the electrician, he died believing something else caused the fire; his bypassing the fuse had nothing to do with it...despite the wires inside the fusebox having melted.

      False, it depends on how the driver circuit was designed. Most are current regulated and it won't matter if it had been done properly (solder a bridge/jumper across the pads where the LED was). Instead of spreading FUD, whip out a multimeter and measure it for yourself.

      @stinkycheese804 6 дней назад

      @@walsakaluk1584 Not necessarily a waste of time. In areas where nobody can come in contact with them, I often de-dome bulbs like that, because the globe blocks around 30% of the light and in some cases, you don't even want the light radiated in a ~300 degree beam, but don't have a proper floodlight either or don't want the beam that focused. If you have the dome off anyway, it literally takes only a minute or two, to find the bad LED and tack on a jumper wire that you solder down. However if you can't do a good solder joint, it should not be done at all.
      Further, it is ridiculous for you to pretend that time is money when you are here watching this crappy video. Your time is not worth much. ;)

    The same shop that sold you the tweezers and the tape would have also sold you small isolated pliers, which were much safer to use. Also you don't replace the bad LED tin foil but with a resistor of the same resistance (such a resistor costs a few cent). Finally putting super glue on top of things is totally pointless; super glue only works well as a thin layer between two hard materials; the correct glue would have been epoxy but even nail polish would have done a better job.

When the power goes out and you don't have a spare fuse, we would use a tin foil from a pack of cigarettes to wrap the fuse until we can get a new one in the morning. Many houses burned down using this method because it defeats the purpose of having a fuse in the first place from circuit overload. Things break down for a reason. Just my thought.

      Replacing that LED with a wire lowers the voltage drop and increases the current in that circuit. This will generate more heat and increase the load on the power supply, possibly beyond its design specs.
      Aluminum foil is a very thin conductor and not meant to carry a lot of current. There is an excellent chance of heating, possibly a fire.
      That aluminum foil was only taped down. Not the best possible connection and another source for heat. As the joint heats, it will loosen that plastic tape. That will loosen the joint further leading to more resistance and more heating. Could make a fire.

    As the LEDs are obviously wired in series, each LED is dissipating a defined voltage. Take one of them out of the circuit and the remaining LEDs need to absorb that additional voltage leading to additional LED burning out.

      @@lukasandrysik3666 OK, that makes sense. I initially had the same thought as the OP, because normally when you rig up LEDs you use a constant voltage and choose the resistor to make the current correct (accounting for the drop over the LEDs). In that case, removing the drop of an LED could be a problem....maybe a big problem if most of the drop was over the LEDs and not over the resistor (which is what you want for efficiency). But sure, it makes sense a production bulb would have a smarter and more robust design than that.

    Hi there for those folks inspired by this video. Leds have non-linear voltampere characteristics (current increases dramatically fast with little increase in voltage), that is why they cant'be fed with volatge source directly. AFAIR there are 3 types of led lamps drivers:
    1) SMPS which is usually a constant DC current source (the power supply variates voltage within a certain range to maintain stable current). This type can be easily recognised as the schematics has an inductor (coil) next to a driver chip. In this case it is ok to shorten 1 or several burnt diodes and the driver will still maintain sstable current. Please note that the power supply can vary valtage within a certain rage(depends on the schematics desing) . When you short led the power supply decreases the voltage to maintain stable current. At some point if you short too many leds the necessary voltage may fall below the power supply range and it will try but fail to provide proper led current and this will burn the diodes. Shorting 1 or 2 is usually ok.
    2) Linear driver. This also maintains constant DC current (so current won't increase if you shorten broken leds) but it has lower efficency than the SMPS and the amount of heat it produces will not decrease if you shorten broken leds (due to the nature of linear driver).
    3) The cheapest and the worst one is the driver where the leds feed directly from AC through a current-limiting capicitor. These lamps have 50/60 Hz pulsations - painful to look at. Note that it is not a constant current driver, it only limits the current, and shortening a led will lead to the increase amount of current so the burnt diode is to be replaced by a resistor (or u can recalculate the limiting capacitor). As this driver does not stabilize current, these lamps are sensitive to AC input voltage.
    The main reason for the led bulbs to die is heat. You cannot fool physics. Led bulbs normally don't have enough heatsink to remove heat from inside the lamp. Best leds can withstand high temps but eventually they wil degrade. Cheap leds will degrade fast. The vandors try squeezing as much ligh as posible for the price, often sacrificing leds quality/ proper thermal modes. The LED efficiency is decreasing with current increase and vice versa. That means that dropping current by lets say 20% you will receive ~18% less ligh but it will lessen the temperature and will dramatically increase life expectancy. I did this to some of my lamps and they seem cool and happy now. The same thing as in CPU/GPU industry - enthusiasts undervolt their devices far more often nowadays as it will increase efficiency and lower temps.
    The most important:Please don't try at home what you saw from this video, especially if you don't understand what is written here. You can die :) Led lamps are different, you can't just do this with any lamp, you must have some expertise in electronics and be completely aware of what you are doing and why. Please don't mess with electricity. It is totally not worth it. (If you ask why I did this - ok is part of my hobby and 15 years of experience in electronics.

      Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. Thank you very much for your time.
      Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them).
      Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI).
      Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy.
      Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
      Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI).
      Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).
      Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning!
      Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures.
      Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement.
      It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them.
      (19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad)..
      God said : Say, “We believe in Allah, and in what was revealed to us, and in what was revealed to Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the Patriarchs, and in what was given to Moses and Jesus, and in what was given to the prophets from their Lord. We do not differentiate between any of them. And to Him, we surrender.”

      The larger problem is that the aluminum is already oxide covered and even a worse conductor by just being laid on the contacts, not even sufficient pressure. However, it is most likely to just cause a fault where the bulb stops working again. It would not spark much if at all because of the low voltage difference between the contacts and even if it did, that heat would quickly degrade the tape and glue and open the circuit. It is different when the voltage is still mains 110V/220V and much more current capacity.

If you are a nerd like me, 1) you take a dead bulb (same type), de-solter a good LED (check resistance) and replace the bad one in the bulb you want to recycle. 2) measure the resistance with an ohm-meter across a good LED, get a resistor with the same rating and replace the dead LED. a) have the power off while pretending to be an electrical engineer b) know how to solter c) be retired like me or be bored out of your wits d) be desperate or smart about taking the savings and adding it to your 401k (cost of bulb ~$4.60, cost of resistor practically 0) e) satisfaction = priceless

    To people claiming this is dangerous: please elaborate how as I do this myself (using soldering) and I never thought this could be unsafe. The voltage across these diodes is scaled down (voltage across each diode is less than 5 volts) and any short in the circuitry exposed on top where the diodes are located can only burn out more diodes and in the worse case burn out the transformer in the base. The heat generated by these light bulbs is minimal so the extra heat generated by the remaining LEDs as they run brighter because of the missing LED does not seem like a fire hazard.
    You can argue the effort is wasted since a replacement costs only a few bucks and the remaining LEDs will burn out faster because of the extra current but my question is about the safety risks involved.

This was not the case many years ago when LED bulbs were much more expensive, but today most common bulb form factors are very inexpensive.

    As some have pointed out, as you short out more and more LEDs the remaining LEDs are forced to conduct higher voltages than they were designed to. Also be aware that the square component with the silver looking band is a transformer. The house line voltage of 110 / 120 volts AC is present on two of the pins at the base. The tape around the tweezers is a good precaution but it doesn't prevent from shorting out or shunting line voltage to parts of the circuit where it doesn't belong. 120 vac on any of the capacitors will explode them like a firecracker.

These LEDs operate at about 2.7 to 3.4 volts. If the voltage regulator circuit in the center is set to provide 32 volts to ten LEDs in series, then each LED "drops" the voltage by 1/10 or (in this case) 3.2 volts, within the operating voltage of each LED. If you bridge out one of the LEDs the 32 volts is now being divided into 1/9th by the remaining LEDs or 3.5 volts. If you bridge out 3 LEDs the voltage the other 7 LEDs will drop is now 4.6 volts. This will most definitely burn out the remaining LEDs. Its not that the supply voltage increases, it's that it gets divided by fewer loads.

      They are wired in series due to the shape of a diode's I-V curve. You can get pissed if you want, but I doubt that semiconductor junctions behave this way just to upset you.

      @@markdavis7397 I disagree. The PCB (printed circuit board) could have easily been designed so that the LEDs are in parallel, and the power supply adjusted accordingly. It is a SCAM on the part of the bulb make.

      @@ericwes7351 Well, you partly right but mostly wrong. In theory yes you can do that, but it would be woefully inefficient, or expensive, or unreliable, or all of the above to some degree. If you want it to be cheap, efficient, small, reliable and manufacturable, you put them in series. Otherwise, you would need N current sources for N LEDs. And those sources would be regulating to a lower voltage (which is more expensive and less efficient). If you try to cut the cost and size of those current sources by (for example) using a simple resistor on each branch, then the only way to make it robust against normal component variations and aging is to put a lot of the voltage drop over the resistor (i.e., huge wasted power, and thermal difficulties).
      Putting them in series is not a scam, it is just the best way to wire LEDs, when viewed holistically. Yes, it does have this one problem, but solving that problem creates far worse problems. If you have a better design, start a light bulb company.

    There are several ways to do this. As a note, the best way to fix it is to use a resistor or another LED.
    Another trick is to fix a bunch of broken bulbs by using a transplanted LEDs from one good bulb. This is presuming all the bulbs are the same.

    Half-correct. This would cause the rest of the lightbulbs to burn out quickly, and is a fire hazard. You would need to also replace the resistor with a smaller one, ideally 50% or less, but even 75% might be acceptable. And every time you remove a quarter (1 out of 4 parts) of the original LEDs, you have to change the resistor again to let through 25% less from the value of the first time you replaced the resistor. LED lightbulbs are also run hotter out of the factory, in order to stop working faster (like the not-working lightbulb at the beginning of the video), so people buy more lightbulbs. Some people already made a small business of "hacking" lightbulbs and replacing their resistor/resistors with one half the size of the one on the box, to make them more energy efficient and much-longer-lasting.
    It's a good way for some people to make more money on the side, by almost-dropshipping lightbulbs by opening them up, replacing their resistor with smaller ones, re-calculating the power consumption and light output (and adding the equivalent in filament lightbulb consumption, i.e. 100W = 1600 lumen, and you could get that for 20W or so), putting a sticker on the box to show they have been modified and to show the new values (which can be even normal printed paper with some clear tape on top of it to stick to the package) and sold again.
    And for people who are into electronics, it's a cheap way to learn soldering, because with a soldering iron and some solder and some cheap resistors which you can buy in packs of 100 for a few bucks, and lightbulbs which don't work anymore, you can make a working lightbulb, and you can use an extension cord and adaptor to test it away from everyone, to be safe. And there are plenty of youtube channels full of tutorials on how to "hack" electronics (i.e. to replace the annoying microwave oven beeper with a light signal, or have both a light signal and a much quieter beeping) and how to repair electronics (which is always a good business for people living in poverty, because they can do some research before buying broken things off the internet or in-person then either getting something broken for free if it were going to get thrown away or buying something broken at a low price and repairing it to get it working again, if that particular problem is repairable, but with the risk of not being able to repair it).
