I always have this comfortable feeling when I listen to Mehdi talking about energy effectiveness and developing toys for kids. DIY, science and wholesome family (looks like ElectroCUTE is really doing well) - that's the way to go.
I purchased 20 x 4' LED fluorescent light fitting substitutes for my home. after 6 months one failed. I took it back under warranty and they replaced it. then 3-4 others began to fail. I became tired of driving to the store and pulled a unit apart for an autopsy. In each there was 4 x SMD resistors that had fried. I pulled a part a working unit to see what they should have been. and checked them on my infrared camera. They were 20K, rated to only 80mw, but through poor design they were dissipating 300mw, sitting at about 70º C. Meaning that they would slowly cook and either burn out or de-solder themselves. I replaced them with 22K 1/2W regular pigtail resistors and they never failed again. When the unmodified lamps subsequently failed I could repair them and restore them to the ceiling in one third of the time it would take for me to go to the store with the receipt and haggle for a replacement. Total replacement parts cost? < 20 cents
It is infuriating! When LED lights for home application came around I was delighted, only to discover that the concept of planned obsolescence was still in effect. Which makes the whole situation even more infuriating, given the fact that cartell-planned obsolescence in traditional light bulbs was one of the first large-scale industrial scams to be found out...

Engineers design parts to last. Manufacturing companies that churn out thousands of these things design parts to break after 3-6 months so you have to continually buy replacements.
Basically yeah. Engineers would love to make stuff that lasts as long as possible. But first the marketing guys come in and say "you have to make the product sexier, it doesn't matter if it isn't as good as long as it looks better than competing products!" So you lose some functionality and durability due to that. The the bean counters come in and say "these products must fail after the warranty period expires so that people buy more products!" And so you get these shitty products that might look nice but are generally just bad. It's not because the company couldn't have made a better product, it's because they don't want to. That's how you get stuff like Apple laptops that fail after a year or two due to some really dodgy design "features" that basically guarantee those laptops don't last that long. And LED lights that fail after a 1000 hours instead of 30 000 hours they could last if they were made better.
No, the companies that ask these manufactures to make it for as much profit margins as possible and the boss gets a huge sum of money. Price does not equate quality from any location, that or brand. I paid a lot for certain brands and they still die in 3-6 months. A lot of the time is is also the enclosure that the led is in.

Love this channel! This episode gave me a Michael Keaton vibe with how Electroboom will be angrily harvesting failed components and turning into some kind of Vulture-esque supervillain (or anti-hero) taking on the cheap component corporations and factories!
This makes me think of LED Christmas lights. They work well for a while but after some time the bulbs go dim. I did some digging one day out of curiosity and noticed a resistor installed in parallel with the lights to prevent the bulbs from completely dying when the resistor fails. In my case I suppose the resistor failed leading to a higher current draw through the resistor but not high enough to trip any breakers, kill any lights, or melt the transistor.
I love these subjects about light bulbs and their pros and cons. In this case, Mehdi just didn’t shoot the lamps with a 500 magnum because he’s in Canada
Made me remember the cheap lights my grandpa bought, how did i know they were cheap even before they died? Life moved in 25 fps in that room, not even a rectifier in them. Has been the greatest give away every time i'm somewhere that they saved on lamps of all things
Glad I'm not the only one experiencing such a bizarrely high failure rate for LED bulbs. I bought a box of regular GE brand soft white bulbs and within a few weeks one of them started flickering. It was so slight that I wasn't sure if I was just seeing things but sure enough a few weeks later it went out completely. Later in the year I bought another box of the same bulbs and not only was one of them dead straight out of the box but for some reason they come on with a slight delay compared to the old ones, even though it's the same model of the same brand that I bought at the same hardware store just a few months earlier.
Protip: write the purchase date on the base of your LED bulbs if you can, and also keep the receipt from the retailer. That way, you know which receipt goes with which bulbs, and getting the information required for warranty is easy.
Funniest thing is that when I buy the cheapest ones from my local store, they don't fail, literally never had any of them fail, and they're all over my house. When I buy Phillips or other brands, they always die very shortly, and get replaced with the cheap ones. I guess the big brands led's are just overengineered and have some failure points the cheap ones don't have. But honestly I'm just lucky with that cheap brand since I've tried other cheap brands and they were terrible.
Big Clive explained that nicely when he reviewed those Dubai lights that philips really don't like to make because it show how they deliberately make them worst and push those leds to max so they fail quicker EDIT: well I just now saw that Mehdi mentioned Clive video.... 😅
i'll pay a heavy amount of 3$ to get the brightest one more info if you are canadian then Canadian Dollor or if you are form any else part of the world except America then good luck turning them to your currency
I absolutely loathe my old management when they keep insisting on switching from a light fixture with a built in LED, when it fails (which sometimes does) instead of an easy 1 minute bulb replacement you’re now stuck with replacing an entire fixture.
to be fair tho, there is a thing called planned obsolescence, Veritasium made a nice video about it, where products are meant to be the opposite of long lasting, so that consumers would repurchase new ones and increase sales
Thanks for the video Mehdi! I too get insanely angry when single function devices don’t perform the function they are made for. A car, I get it. Many devices all having to work in unison is complicated. But a water pipe should be able to last forever if it is designed properly. It has to do a simple job, it just needs proper manufacturing. Likewise a lightbulb should be able to function for a VERY long time, as it doesn’t have to do multiple jobs/functions.
The manufacturers do know how to make things that last but all collectively decided that they will all make products that don't last so they don't run out of customers.
My dislike is for his advertisement which doesn't include "not all items may be available in your country" So you get a dislike for trying to psychologically profile people, totally incorrectly, who leave a dislike!
Correct, man, components pushed to the limit to give their best for a few hours and circuitry reduced to a minimum. I also bought the same lamps, two of them died two days apart, not even 500 hours of operation ... Congratulations on your work, colleague: I am also an electrical engineer :-)
it's probably not that the R&D department didn't find anything, it's that the higher-ups didn't listen when they were told about the problem, possibly because it would have cost them more money to fix it than to just leave it.
All the R&D in these companies is about making something shaped like a working product as cheaply as possible. For example, they may have managed to save half a cent by eliminating the watertight seal and still have the lamp work for several days, good job!
Huh. I have only ever had like 4 or 5 die, and I often buy dirt cheap ones. And the ones that died were in a ceiling fan fixture that made the LEDs flicker when the fan was on, so I attribute that mostly to an old lighting fixture that was designed for incandescent lighting.
Did you notice if the cheap Amazon bulbs "popped" when you broke the glass or just shattered? I'm guessing the bulbs aren't even vacuumed out so simple condensation could be responsible for the water getting in.
There's no reason to use a vacuum in an LED bulb. There is a reason to seal the freaking things, but I guess that's too much trouble for crap manufacturers.

Love this channel! This episode gave me a Michael Keaton vibe with how Electroboom will be angrily harvesting failed components and turning into some kind of Vulture-esque supervillain (or anti-hero) taking on the cheap component corporations and factories!
BigCliveDotCom got a shout-out from both Electroboom and Technology Connections. On the same day! Nice!
I see you are a gentleman and a scholar.
When you claim the warranty they just send the old light to landfill so you as a consumer aren't screwed today... but the planet is screwed tomorrow.

Nope and the way you comment it you sound like someone who will benefit from advertising stuff for others.

This makes me think of LED Christmas lights. They work well for a while but after some time the bulbs go dim. I did some digging one day out of curiosity and noticed a resistor installed in parallel with the lights to prevent the bulbs from completely dying when the resistor fails. In my case I suppose the resistor failed leading to a higher current draw through the resistor but not high enough to trip any breakers, kill any lights, or melt the transistor.
I've seen that with incandescent Christmas lights too, to prevent the "one goes out, they all go out!" problem.

I love these subjects about light bulbs and their pros and cons. In this case, Mehdi just didn’t shoot the lamps with a 500 magnum because he’s in Canada
In rural Canada gun ownership is a big thing. But he lives in the city
In my experience, loose live wires seem to attract each other into a short circuit every time. So yeah, a little bit of electric tape goes a long way.
Made me remember the cheap lights my grandpa bought, how did i know they were cheap even before they died?
Life moved in 25 fps in that room, not even a rectifier in them. Has been the greatest give away every time i'm somewhere that they saved on lamps of all things
Glad I'm not the only one experiencing such a bizarrely high failure rate for LED bulbs. I bought a box of regular GE brand soft white bulbs and within a few weeks one of them started flickering. It was so slight that I wasn't sure if I was just seeing things but sure enough a few weeks later it went out completely. Later in the year I bought another box of the same bulbs and not only was one of them dead straight out of the box but for some reason they come on with a slight delay compared to the old ones, even though it's the same model of the same brand that I bought at the same hardware store just a few months earlier.
Protip: write the purchase date on the base of your LED bulbs if you can, and also keep the receipt from the retailer. That way, you know which receipt goes with which bulbs, and getting the information required for warranty is easy.
So I pay more, and do all this paperwork, fileing, and record keeping?
How about I just buy a better made bulb from someone else and skip all that 💩
2:40 "Weaterproof". Says it all, right there.
Funniest thing is that when I buy the cheapest ones from my local store, they don't fail, literally never had any of them fail, and they're all over my house.
When I buy Phillips or other brands, they always die very shortly, and get replaced with the cheap ones.
I guess the big brands led's are just overengineered and have some failure points the cheap ones don't have.
But honestly I'm just lucky with that cheap brand since I've tried other cheap brands and they were terrible.
Same here, we just get generic Walmart bulbs and they last just fine.
I run the generics I like best, and they're great too.
Big Clive explained that nicely when he reviewed those Dubai lights that philips really don't like to make because it show how they deliberately make them worst and push those leds to max so they fail quicker
EDIT: well I just now saw that Mehdi mentioned Clive video.... 😅
I still have some original EarthLED bulbs from 2008/9 going - they have large heat sinks and the brightest model has a small fan built into the base.
i'll pay a heavy amount of 3$ to get the brightest one
more info if you are canadian then Canadian Dollor or if you are form any else part of the world except America then good luck turning them to your currency
Yeah modern LED bulbs are designed to fail early.
Electroboom's daughter has grown up a lot, wait a minute, how long have I been watching this channel?!
8 years
I absolutely loathe my old management when they keep insisting on switching from a light fixture with a built in LED, when it fails (which sometimes does) instead of an easy 1 minute bulb replacement you’re now stuck with replacing an entire fixture.
The reason is for the ( usually 10♎) surge protection and also acts as a fuse.
I would open 10 of them in a day, short that part and works perfectly..

@@kirkjohnson9353 gottem
to be fair tho, there is a thing called planned obsolescence, Veritasium made a nice video about it, where products are meant to be the opposite of long lasting, so that consumers would repurchase new ones and increase sales
Finally! Thank you so much for making this video. The race to the bottom in LED quality control has totally gotten out of hand.
Thanks for the video Mehdi! I too get insanely angry when single function devices don’t perform the function they are made for.
A car, I get it. Many devices all having to work in unison is complicated. But a water pipe should be able to last forever if it is designed properly. It has to do a simple job, it just needs proper manufacturing. Likewise a lightbulb should be able to function for a VERY long time, as it doesn’t have to do multiple jobs/functions.
Holy crap! This guy's awesome! He's like a motivational speaker and a mad scientist in one. 😁😁

Correct, man, components pushed to the limit to give their best for a few hours and circuitry reduced to a minimum. I also bought the same lamps, two of them died two days apart, not even 500 hours of operation ...
Congratulations on your work, colleague: I am also an electrical engineer :-)
I like how Mehdi finds out way more about problems with _their product_ than these companies' actual R&D and engineering departments.
Someone who slaps a series resistor on a string and then cant even glue a lightbulb together has no R&D or engineering department.
it's probably not that the R&D department didn't find anything, it's that the higher-ups didn't listen when they were told about the problem, possibly because it would have cost them more money to fix it than to just leave it.
@@izzaaay More like they were designed not to last.
R&D is a thing. Market departments wants the R&D to design them to fail.
All the R&D in these companies is about making something shaped like a working product as cheaply as possible. For example, they may have managed to save half a cent by eliminating the watertight seal and still have the lamp work for several days, good job!
Really cool, maybe you should build an ultra power flashlight using all the harvested leds :)

Huh. I have only ever had like 4 or 5 die, and I often buy dirt cheap ones. And the ones that died were in a ceiling fan fixture that made the LEDs flicker when the fan was on, so I attribute that mostly to an old lighting fixture that was designed for incandescent lighting.

Did you notice if the cheap Amazon bulbs "popped" when you broke the glass or just shattered? I'm guessing the bulbs aren't even vacuumed out so simple condensation could be responsible for the water getting in.
There's no reason to use a vacuum in an LED bulb. There is a reason to seal the freaking things, but I guess that's too much trouble for crap manufacturers.
You already had me laughing when you said “Hi…” 😂
