Do Not Buy This Light @ MKE Gadgets

Do Not Buy This Light @ MKE Gadgets #202
When buying light fixtures for your house, do not buy them with LED panels. Once the LED panel burns out or the power supply burns out, you have to change the whole light fixture. By light fixtures are taking lightbulbs that way when the lightbulb burns out you just change it.

I applaud your dedication to the reuse, repurpose or recycle philosophy. I'd like to see a lot more of it on YT; mostly I see a lot of things thrown in the garbage.
One of my favorite endeavors is to repurpose old, quality tools into updated, usable tools for my shop. Saves me a ton of money & gives me projects.
BTW: The cheap components &/or poorly constructed electronics is the cause of failure in products like the porch light. Unless a person can repair them, don't buy 'em; in the end, it would be more environmentally positive to use an old fashioned incandescent bulb rather than buy & throw away an 'enviro friendly' LED fixture multiple times!

Anybody can throw something out, but I like to take it apart before I throw it out and put as much as I can and metal recycling bucket and take it to my local scrap yard. Thanks again for your comment.

The white goo behind the LEDs is a heat transfer compound. It spreads the heat to that aluminum panel behind the LEDs.

Yeah, I knew that but I just can’t member what it was called. It wasn’t very sticky and maybe that’s why the light broke. Thanks for your positive comment and continuing support.

I've never seen a fixture with the led built-in. Definitely prefer a boring 'ol Edison socket 🙂

Thanks for your positive comment.

I ordered a smoked old fashioned once. It came to the table in a housing that looked a lot like that light you took apart. Maybe your light housing could have had a second life.

It’s on its way to be recycled in meltdown into something more useful.
