I don't know whether your light uses the same pesky led chips as mine. The first time I saw multiple broken LEDs in a series chain with a Philips light. Turns out the little buggers have 3 parallel LEDS in a single SMD package. After a year of usage I've got a light with 6 or 7 little black dots on the LEDs in total (among 16 SMD LEDs, some of them had one or two still functional sub parts. Looks like light manufacturers won't let us have long lasting lights unless we make it for ourselves?

I have two questions. Why did the cable break if it is installed in the ceiling? It must be damaged after being installed and then completly broke of thermal cycles.
The other questions is why are the PE wires not connected on the daisy chain? This can be a potential problem if someone does replace the last light which requires the PE to be connected.

Is the reason why the new led dosent flicker that the frekvenz is mush higher >5000 Hz? I know you can buy some small led dimmers that have a frekvenz at 10 kHz. Can you mby try building a circuit that can boost a voltage, from 4. 2 to 12. Have a dimmer and on/off system? That would be awesome

Hey Scott, you can try recreating your buck converter with an 8 pin PIC microcontroller. It will be a good introduction to hardcore Embedded C programming and also you can talk about configuration bits / fuse bits which are quiet important when coming to microcontrollers.

Wow! Awesome video. Here we have seen something very hard to find: a user-friendly producer that instead of making new versions of less valuable stuff, improves its products and this time it has also been lucky because it achieved a better result with less components

I would like to tell you that with a reference of one of your videos, i successfully made my own DIY SMART HOME using the NodeMCU. and as always your video is full of information and curiosity and hard work. lots of love and thanks. And stay safe.

Will be grateful to learn more about your reverse engineering method. sometimes I came up with different electronic stuffs and don't know what can I do.
It will help me to better understand about the components.

Hi greatscott, I wanted to make a 1 - 30v and 1 ampere regulated power supply using lm317 with constant current control. Any suggestions and circuits would help a lot

I wonder why the cable broke like that while it was installed. Maybe it broke during installation, and thermal expansion/contraction Murphy's Law-ed its way in?
