Don't forget:
>supposedly having a lifetime of a whole decade
>dies faster than incandescent bulbs
>usually dies just after a couple months
>costs several times as much as a incandescent bulb
Ian Brown
even if these would last just 300 hours they already earn themselves back. at least when you get ebay ones and live in europ
Wyatt Walker
You mean that specific design?
Quality LED lights last a very long time, but then they don't have a meme design.
Benjamin James
what do those small carrots do

If that's happening to you, it's because of one of two things:
1) The wiring in your house is complete fucking ass.
2) You're buying the cheapest LED bulbs you can find, and guess what? You get what you pay for.
I've been using LED bulbs for two years and only ONE has failed and that's because I dropped the lamp.
Hunter Barnes
>what do those small carrots do
brighten up your day
Justin Robinson
>incandescent
Literally designed to fail.
I still don't see why this was legal and why so many cucks actually defended them.
Good riddance.
Ryder Flores
>Literally designed to fail.
as if this wasn't the case with the LED ones with their shitty capacitors too.
most LED bulbs fail because of the choice of caps and/or bad heat dissipation.
Adam Barnes
LEDs have a very good lifespan (unless you drive them too hard or don't cool them well).
If a LED bulb fails it's usually the power supply that fails.
A decent power supply that fits inside an Edison screw is relatively expensive.
Christian Bennett
>cheap led bulb fails because it used cheap parts
wow that clearly has to be a Phoebus cartel style conspiracy
Gabriel Sullivan
>A decent power supply
Most LED bulbs that get bought around here run straight from the mains and have their own voltage reg inside them.
Austin Rivera
>cheap led bulb
who said that?
Landon Richardson
I bought some from IKEA and they are working after 2 years.
Chase Phillips
Tech disappointments, huh?
Colton Roberts
Yes, that's why I mentioned that they need to fit inside the Edison screw.
You don't really find shitty capacitors in expensive LED bulbs.
Aaron Stewart
the cheap shit flickers
Grayson Gutierrez
the ic ones dont
Joshua Russell
>You don't really find shitty capacitors in expensive LED bulbs.
Andrew Lopez
What brand did you buy from?
If they put shitty noname crap caps in their led bulbs, then you should warn people to never buy from them again.
Bentley Ross
>the cheap shit flickers
you can easily see if they flicker or not by using your phone cam and see if their light produces stripes or other shit in the image. in general LED bulbs get better and better
Matthew Miller
no reason for me to buy on shitbay when ikea is 5km away.
huehue.
too bad they're mostly 2700k.

Takes $2-4 with shipping to get ones that don't flicker shipped to your home, from China.
Jaxon Sanchez
It's not the LEDs dying, it's the PSU.

>think it's finally a simple way to transmit data
>it's actually unnecessary complicated and pushes far too much responsibility on all parts of the vendor chain, as a result nothing works reliable
Jason Jackson
What cheap chink bulbs don't flicker?
Logan Baker
>>dies faster than incandescent bulbs
>>>usually dies just after a couple months
pic related, anecdotally mine are all coming up on year 3 with no issue, unless there's something I don't know about this design specifically
Angel Hall
A lot of them.
Sebastian Morris
Proper SMPS and still just 2$?
How do the chinks do it?
Jose Myers
Yea, its pretty amazing even if you take the pretty evident quick assembly into account.
William Taylor
what's wrong with it?
post lapturd or intel shill
Isaac Nelson

Send them to Big Clive.
Charles Lee
High lumen blue LEDs are a new-ish technology.
Robert Miller
>2133 ram causes it
Alexander Kelly
Nope, mine came with 2400MHz and even checked the BIOs setting. It's the Radeon drivers that causes the thing to crash. Going on 6 months without a patch for it on Windows 10...
Benjamin Robinson
dat cat
Brandon Sanders
That was more like a scam, user.
Made by a joo too.
Ayden Russell
What had you expected there?
Not quite true, I've cheap bulbs for 2.5 USD for 6W for a year now, and they didn't failed yet.
If it has capacitive dropper - LEDs will fail first.
Easton Ward
There's no cooling in the OP's design. It's guaranteed to die in a short time.
Christian Martinez
>NFC
Nothing actually wrong with NFC, just no one fucking uses it
Isaac Wilson
>needing a circuit board to create light
This shits a fucking joke.
Serious question:
How many of you have fallen for the LED meme already?
Brody Collins

Nigga please. Get back to us in 100 years.

Not really. It uses contactless, but its not near-field
