On older LEDs you could replace the caps, but newer ones use SMT caps that require more than just a soldering iron. It makes a huge difference, and also eliminates the slight delay when switching the lamp on (though I don't recall experiencing this with recent LED lamps, even cheap ones).
- jalk 1y agosearched for images of "LED bulb teardown", the SMT components are not that tiny, so quite possible to solder with a regular iron. Am I missing something?
- Workaccount2 1y agoReally the worst part is that the bulbs are usually glued/ultrasonice welded, together, so you kind of have to destroy it to open it up.
