    *From other similar videos* - can use foil and tape instead.
    - lifespan is short, because the current flow through the other LEDs is increased.
    - better options noted are a diode, LED or resistor to match the current flow.
    - best option presented is to use 1 bulb as a parts donor, remove LEDs with soldering iron or heat gun, and use in later bulbs that fail, here 1 donor bulb with 15 LEDs could repair 14 other bulbs, mark the side to match (clockwise or counterclockwise) because you have to maintain polarity.

    • @1SCme
      @1SCme Рік тому +6

      @@Anonymous-zv9hk LEDs don't have a linear relationship between current and voltage. A quick Google search for "LED bulb internal wiring schematic" shows the LEDs in series, placed in parallel to a Zener diode, providing a constant voltage to the LEDs in series. You could measure across the failed LED to determine the Zener voltage, but you wouldn't know the design LED current and equivalent resistance because they vary.
      Unless you have the LED part number and can locate a data sheet, you would need to either take apart a good bulb, or temporarily connect an LED from a failed donor parts bulb, to measure the normal (all LEDs working) current and voltage drop, to know what size resistor to use.

      I was thinking the same thing. You just effectively removed a resistor from the circuit, putting more current to the other LEDs (assuming the graphite is a good enough conductor to be approaching 0Ω) and without more information about the rest of the circuit and those LEDs load, he may have just turned all of them into a ticking timebomb of heat. At the very least he's going to accelerate the demise of the remaining LED's.

    You could test another dead bulb, take a working led off of that bulb and solder it on to this one. Because if you keep taking leds off of this bulb and bridging the contacts where it used to be what you will find is the rest of the leds will start burning out faster and faster the more you do this because the the amount of current will increase each time you remove an led and do this.

Also each of those LED's are running on 8v of power. So the chance of fire is practically non-existent. I would even argue the lit LED's are most likely throwing more heat then that bridge.
      I personally for years have used construction pencils for lubrication on many of my tool because the abrasive dust I create stick to oil and grease lubricants causing more damage then using nothing.

      any noteworthy amount of current would flow through the tweezers anyway, the resistive properties of the hand/skin are far, far, far greater.
      Especially considering the comparatively low DC voltage here.
      If they would be anywhat concerned for a fault causing mains to flow through, insulating the tweezers with heatshrink won't really do much, they rather should then connect the tweezers with a resistor to ground to guarantee a low-resistance path to flow over.
      Or rather they shouldn't even work on it in a live state at-all if that were their concern.

      It really shouldn't be that big of a deal. The LED array is in series and is being driven by a constant-current power supply, so the current in the circuit will stay at whatever the supply was set to, which will cause the supply voltage to be lowered, which *should* keep the rest of the LEDs happy. My bigger concern would be possibly getting conductive graphite powder in places where line voltage is present.
