Real saving using LED lightings

[fuzz1]

Hi

LED lights are of poor quality and most of them fail within a year. So I don't know if we really saving much using them.

However in my opinion you can make some savings with the following tips


- Don't throw away the LED lights. They consists mainly of three components.
1 casing
2 led driver
3 led strip

usually either the led driver or the led strip gets damaged. it's really less expensive to replace either of them and keep the casing.

or if you still want to make a cheaper repair.

find out which led light is burnt and replace it or just short it.

- if the led driver is damaged the driver can be repaired.

usually the capacitor is damaged. just replace it. or could be some other electronic component but that becomes slightly more complicated but can be done

I have replaced the LED diodes several times, they often poor quality

Yeah that's very true the quality is poor.

We can get a few more months with just a few minutes of our time. I have also modified some lights where there are bulbs in them. Replaced them with arrays of led. They last longer and you get more lumen thus more light
