Yeah another doobylamp video. But it s the trashiest lamp I could find this time. Another look at a mass produced generic LED lamp designed to burn bright(ish) and fail fast. Because it only costs a dollar, pound nobody is going to bring it back for a refund. The most intriguing thing about this one is that it seems to be from a mass producer of these lamps for many brands, but this one has been optimised for being extra cheap and nasty. After hacking the 5LED one I measured the voltage over the LEDs at 250V. That s 50V per LED suggesting around 18 LED chips in each LED package Even with the dooby hack it s still dissipating just under half a watt per LED. But it s still going to last a LOT longer than in its original form.
