I think it's more about how well balanced all of the individual LED's in the bulb are. Unbalanced circuits have more current flowing through some paths than others and leads to premature failure of individual elements and it's usually rapidly downhill from there for the rest of the bulb.
- jacob019 7y agoNormally the LEDs are wired in series so that they all have the same current.
- londons_explore 7y agoLED bulbs that aren't current controlled are rare now. You're right - just sticking a bunch of raw led's in parallel over a "12v" source is a recipe for disaster.
