While I agree with you, I need to note that these bulbs have constant current drivers, so taking out one LED will not put higher stress on the remaining LEDs.

Isn't it about time that our governments passed laws to make it ILLEGAL to produce shoddy products? Don't we have enough junk polluting our lands and waters? These manufacturers DELIBERATELY DESIGN and MANUFACTURE products to FAIL so they can force us to buy new ones. THAT SHOULD BE ILLEGAL.

@@kralg The very fact that the driver _is_ constant current means that the power dissipated in the graphite could be very substantially higher than that in the LEDs. A typical LED would likely be around 3 volts forward drop. Unless the driver has voltage limiting in addition to current regulation, the voltage across the graphite might go to well over 10 volts without the driver knowing anything about it. Thermal conductivity between the graphite and the solder pads would be poor and that is often what is required to remove heat from the LEDs. Drivers often do have voltage limiting so they shut down if the LED string goes open-circuit, but the "trip" point is likely quite a bit higher than the normal operating voltage.

so, what do you suggest instead? i followed the video and it doesnt work

@@juliusdelapaz128 ...ok, fair question. Here's the correct way - find the bad LED and remove it, solder in a new one! No graphite filings, no short or fire potential. Just a fully and correctly REPAIRED bulb.

👍

😵 think about all the people hurt,injured, maimed or killed doing crap they see on the Internet😵 . Darwin award recipients just keeps growing!.

👍👍 agree

Exactly

You must not have seen the canning videos. 😂

Bro he is being totes safe! He even shook his finger at the sharp metal tweezers as to say "NO! Not before a thin coat of electric tape shall you risk serious injury or death by shock doing the dumbest possible test for a bad LED by bridging a fairly high power circuit with f'ing metal tweezers, I got your back fam!" This is either a troll channel or a reflection of Zoomer mindset: look what I accomplished while only nearly-handicapping myself!"... They're not the brightest gen.

Are you wealthy? We're up against planned obsolescence. the bulbs are designed to fail the same day the warranty does. PENCIL a heavy black square around the BAD LED. The graphite is conductive. Leave the ball off, KEEP all the light. Taking the ball off lowers the LED temperature, making them last longer. Less heat PREVENTs your fondest fear. Just don't lick it.

Bulbinglin

No. LEDs do not exhibit a linear voltage to current curve as a resistor does. Whatever resistance you measure on any diode device such as an LED is likely not represented well by a resistor. Not to mention the power dissipation may be too much for the resistor.

DRAW a heavy black square around the BAD LED. The graphite square is conductive. Leave the ball off, KEEP all the light

In Europa sind es sogar 230V. Außerdem mit dieser Brücke bekommt dieses System eine andere Gesamtspannung , was dazu führen kann das auch die anderen LEDs durchbrennen. Im Brandfall erlischt der Versicherungsschutz.

What will you do if you break a small bone in your foot? Buy a new foot?

@@hansdegroot8549 Have SOMEONE else repair it....not me....as I was saying, the best solution FOR ME...not you....good luck with your foot repair.

Mother nature will thank for the repair. Otherwise the light bulbs go to waste.

LED driver circuits regulate the current through the LED's, not the voltage across them. Thus shorting out one in a string of several should work just fine. As someone else pointed out, this method has other problems. The tape will not hold long. The board the LEDs are mounted one will get very hot. A better, and easier solution is just to solder a short wire across the bad LED. BTW, I used to design LED lightbulb driver circuits.

@@markfortunato1041 For those without a solder - is there anything else that works - superglue instead of tape - wire instead of graphite etc?
