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

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.

Do manufacturers like to be super GREEDY? For 💰?

[@WeighedWilson]

Sounds like he struck a nerve on an average Canadian engineer.

[@Kepe]

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.

[@AFlyingCookieLOL]

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.

[@gleggett3817]

Or engineers designing down to a price point because that's all a customer is prepared to pay for an item even when it has a short useful life.

[@Seedyrom247]

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.

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.

Rumor has it that most electric appliances (especially microwaves) short and kill themselves as soon as they realize they were delivered at Mehdi’s home address 😂

[@applemachome]

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.

[@praxydalegend477]

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

"please pay shipping and handling on your 'free' led replacement bulb."

[@awesomeferret]

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.

I like how Mehdi finds out way more about problems with _their product_ than these companies' actual R&D and engineering departments.

[@noalear]

Someone who slaps a series resistor on a string and then cant even glue a lightbulb together has no R&D or engineering department.

[@izzaaay]

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.

[@mihirmutalikdesai]

@@izzaaay More like they were designed not to last.

[@SilverSpoon_]

R&D is a thing. Market departments wants the R&D to design them to fail.

[@gubx42]

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!

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.

3:24 as an electrical engineering student, my advice is instead of buying the ones with a warranty, get ones that are proven to work. Think outside of the box, instead of buying the same bulbs over and over (which is more polluting than just disposing of ONE pack of those cheap bulbs) I suggest you buy visually high quality LEDs.

[@Bicycleworkshop]

I was able to significantly prolong the cheap LED bulb life by relapsing it's LED by more durable/quality ones. New LEDs can handle more current -> operates not in max current -> lives a lot longer. Resoldering process is very easy when you use a "LED Lamp Remover Station Heating Plate" from aliexpress: 4$ :) Some of my LED bulbs are operational for about 5 years (indoor everyday use on a kitchen ~3/hours a day)

True that, all the LEDs I have, and a few CFLs I have left, have always lasted longer than any incandescent lamp we've ever had.

Vielleicht die LED-Lampen aus der Einführungszeit. Da sollten die Käufer dafür begeistert werden, die Qualität war in Ordnung und die Kühlkörper reichlich bemessen. Nachdem das Aus für die Glühbirne durchgesetzt war, gind die Qualität der LED-Lampen rapide zurück und ohne ausreichende Wärmeabfuhr sterben die LED reihenweise.

[@Furiends]

9:00 The LED "filaments" are actually a ceramic backed circuit board with a string of LEDs on them. Then a phosphor coating is wrapped around it that also acts as a diffuser for the LEDs.
