    Saving led lights from the dumpster

    Led lights are mostly junk. They are mostly made from the cheapest components. So they go bad very quickly.

    As a gesture for our planet please save them.
    Easy.
    Recap them or replace the
    Damaged led lamp. Sometimes a single led will cause failure

    Yes I made a well engineered led solar light out of two different obes

    cost me £9. To make each one, greased all insides to stop it filling with water and packing up.

    three months later, it filled with water and packed up

      Thing is, those leds burn out because they run overvolted so that they burn out.. they put many leds in series as to achieve one higher voltage led.. true solution would be to add +1-2 led chips in series, but thats kinda impossible. Irl buy decent bulbs, like osram,phillips and they last way more compared to cheap chinese stuff. I have wasted way too much time collecting bad led bulbs and fixing them. Just recycle them properly, dont throw them in the compost.... Also your one time use friggin eVapes..... Those are the worst for our planet.. yet we still manufacture them.... Straight up junk factory.
