I would’ve just added it to the Halloween pile.
Took apart a Philips 800 lumen bulb. After an hour of cutting the top off, there was a disk of about 40 LEDs but under the disk was a metal plate. No exposed circuitry. I cut the metal plate out and found whole base plus the circuit was potted. After an hour of removing the potting material, checked the capacitor and it was fine. Probably an intermittent solder connection elsewhere. It was a destructive process, so no salvaging here.
Thank you very much for your help bro :) I spend just 1€ for four condensators and when I change them it worked 🙏🙏👌😊 Thank you!
I have an expensive light kit with color changing led bulbs. One of them flickers. Definitely worth trying to recap in my case.
my 500w led flickering. Thanks for this, i will replace cap.
Dude I really thought you were going to smash it with a cinder block.. that's how you fix a flickering LED LIGHT!
Good work sir ...😉👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you but I think it is much better if you just fast forward the opening cover and add voice or close caption instruction is much better, also test the work result before reseal the cover.
Thank you.
Good video. Didn't know what the inside looked like, and didn't know the role of the capacitor.
Can I use a slightly larger capacitor for the light ???
Thanks for the video, very useful, sorry for the other stupid comments you had to read!
Quality Control has literally took a shit in the world.
Thanks to China
Is this also for microscope bulbs?
Just buy another one damn
Defect caused by a large defective lot of capacitors purchased by manufacturer. Happened with the early Bose Wave radios.
You really should speak during your video
This was a very interesting video, but given the amount of time involved and the materials needed it would be less expensive to just replace the bulb with a new one, not to mention any potential safety problems along the way. Since many things can cause flickering, I would be absolutely sure that it was the LED bulb and not something else.
Nah man. Most LEDs are not true no-flickering and most of the time you would actually need to do this.
What's the safety problem here? If you have two left hands you buy a new bulb, eat your burger and grow more fat on your brain. If you are curious, wanna do something, like producing less trash grow some balls and at least try to fix it.
Longer leads would keep it away from hot area.
Holy.....DO NOT USE FULL SCREEN WHILE WATCHING THIS VIDEO...
Wow lol. Nicely done sir!! Just one question, is it not easier to just replace the bulb? Of course im sure it is cheaper to replace capacitor if you have tools before hand so 🤷
Some bulbs, like my philips hue led bulbs are 45 a piece. And the capacitor is a few cents. The process is very destructive but works!
Ohhh. Solder!
I was using my MIG! 😕
You spoilt hah
🤣
This may not be financially viable but it certainly will be for outdoor security lights that cost upwards of 60 dollars 😎😎😎
My one dollar led bulb has nothing under the plate.Just 2 wires. Looks like it has the capacitor on the top. It is a short one. says 200v?? i have some big capacitors for audio amp and they are only 60v. use a putty knife to break the seal on the bulb cover. just slip it into the seam and push all around.
Holy shit I watched the whole thing!! Very interesting and cool to learn how to do this kind of thing but I honestly went to the store and bought a pack of 4 by the time the video would end. Sooooo yeah I'm down 7 dollars but I got a replaced bulb and 3 spares. Cheers
Yep, it's good to know how things work, but also need to determine the worth of your time and effort. $7 probably saved you many hours of time shopping for capacitors and learning how to properly weld. Not to mention the possibility of injury prying off the bulb.
Every brand of LED bulb I have tried flickers. At every location in the house the LED bulbs flicker. Usually they operate just fine for a few minutes then a little flicker. And then immediately before I can get my eyes turned towards it it stops and operates just fine. Brand new bulbs do it. Year old bulbs do it. Every brand does it. Bulbs rated for dimmers do it. Bulbs not rated for dimmers do it. The LED bulbs do not flicker in unison so it's not some common power problem in my house. They all flicker independently. At another house the LED bulbs do exactly the same thing.
CCFL's and incandescent bulbs did not do that. My many UPS's do not trigger and they would if merely a single cycle of 60Hz was missing - or if the voltage dropped for an instance. It's confined to the screw in medium base(E26) bulbs. Even the BR30 ceiling can light bulbs do it. I have never seen the candelabra base bulbs on the chandelier flicker nor the ones in the ceiling fans. That chandelier is the only fixture that has a dimmer switch.
My neighbors have outside flood lights. They are the medium base type. And they flicker. So it's not just my house.
The only thing I can figure is I am going to have to open up every bulb and design my own power supply for them. Apparently the power supply is poorly designed on all of them. I wonder if they all use the same chip? It is not uncommon that I have found a problem across all brands of some appliance and on investigation determined they all use the same driver chip.
I design car DVD players. I noticed a particular bug on all of our DVD player's rendition of the screen image. Years later our newest design still had the same little bug. Then I had a chance to examine some competitors DVD players and they all had the same bug. I traced it down to a DVD mpeg rendering package of C code that everyone was buying and dropping into their products. No one wrote it themselves because writing an MPEG engine is hard and thus quite expensive. The bug was never fixed by the C code supplier. And today, 15 years later, it's still there. Apparently I am the only one that notices it and complains. But I'm only the electronic design engineer so my complaints are ignored by the software department.
I opened my flickering bulb, found two capacitors. Being nott sure which one I need to replace, I looked up replacements for bot, it would cost me at least $4-$6 to get new ones, let alone the effort of soldering and replacing them and putting the bulb back together. Not worth the effort, can just buy a new bulb.
Hi, the lights in my room are connected in one switch and runs through one wire they both do this. Should I just replace both bulbs or is it something more serious?
Thankyou.
Loose wiring. If it’s can lights check below ceiling (tighten the bulb) and in the attic (remove cover plate and check wire nuts).
I guess incandescent light you can take the glass off and replace the filliment or compact florcessent light same thing
no
So.. it is the bulb?
the capacitor stores the energy and “flatten” the ac current into dc, right?
No. Capacitors only work in AC circuits.
@@KGDRAWROF Nonsense
@@KGDRAWROF "AC" as in Air Conditioner?
!! same F ( Farad) , same or larger V ( Volts)
Lol why!
Electrolytic capacitors lose their properties over time and they need to be replaced. The power throughout the circuit become weak and inconsistent.
You're saving money this way while also being environmentally friendly.
We took up the bulb
Cool video, but way way too much work for a bulb i can pick up at walmart for $3
$3?? Did you mean $30, no? Because this is the smart LED light. Not just regular "dumb" bulb for $3.
Pin point to the problem.no bla bla bla.
I've got a WHOLE BOX of brand new LED lights. Every one of them FLICKERS constantly. I think they are badly designed. Replacing the capacitor is way more work than the value of the bulb.
I don’t need a new lightbulb
But there is one in the living room that kept flickering more
Ok, but I was hoping for a simple fix.
[Goes to store and buys new bulb]
Um no
Surgeons hands are not my strong point.
Don’t worry two of my lights flickered in the house
It must have burn out already
Moght need some practice opening theses bulbs😂😂😂😂😂,open it then fix,😂😂😂😂😂
Flickering lights bother me
Gotta admit it was difficult to stop watching. Could have been to the hardware store back and done in half the time saving me time which, to me has value. Makes no sense to me.
gah damn, flash warning 😭
What? why 3 minutes wasted watching you get the bulb apart? Fast motion that shit
Or run to the store and grab a pack of four new ones for $7.
That’s 5 minutes of my life I’ll never get back. Apparently 14K people have done the same. Where’s the nearest lightbulb store?
Great. I'll just go take a course in electrical repair and soldering to fix a pos bulb. Trash Can! Or better, bust it up and put it in a BLMer's salad.
I just wasted 8 minutes of my life
Can a Pollock fix a light bulb like this?
