Why is it not patented! Wrap an LED bulb with electrical tape and you'll be amazed

I would have soldered the bridge, not taped it. If you tape it, as soon as it heats up, the tape will fall off.

why does the thumbnail picture have tape wrapped around the threaded part of the bulb - Click bait maybe???

[@joeschmo622]

Probably to keep it from leaking after screwing it into a faucet...

This is not economical, given the low cost of a replacement bulb and limited remaining lifetime of the repaired one. A much better investment of time is researching what brand of bulbs has longer serviece life. In my experience, they differ drastically. Some fail quickly and some keep working for years. I guess it's more profitable for stores to sell bulbs that need to be replaced often, so the shelves are full of junk. The title image is a clickbait.

That has got to be one of the worst ideas I've seen in a *long* time. Al oxidises quickly and becomes nonconductive. Tape puts hardly any pressure on that wad of foil. That's pretty much the *definition* of a loose connection. Just melt a blob of solder across those 2 pads to bridge it. Simple and permanent *and reliable.*
