0000 0000 1100 0111

Two out of three ain't bad

Recently an LED in the house went dark, and usually I'd just throw it out and replace it. This time I thought it was a bit rude as the bulb is nominally rated 30000 hours and it had only been in for around 100 hours.


Two possibilities:

1. The bulb was not up to spec

2. The variations in AC voltage at our place was too much for it

Either way I could see some clear marks from a possible short, and so I wanted to open it up and take a look.

The result is a little bit of a boring video, but nonetheless "illuminating". Also, breaking into the device was a bit of a laugh.
