[🇩🇪GER] LED Retrofit Lampen von Lidl und Aldi Nord im Test - Als Videolicht geeignet? 

The power meter's display is multiplexed, this means it turns on one segment after the other, fast enough so that this is not visible to the eye. However, when the led lights are pointed at the camera, it gets so bright that the camera has to use an extremely fast shutter speed to compensate. The fast shutter speed means that each frame of the video has a very short exposure time. So short, that only individual segments of the display are recorded. This is why the display looks so strange on video.

@@DrCassette Oh, I see, it makes sense, but not knowing about the multiplexed display to begin with, I'd never figure out. What a neat explanation, thank you!

Congrats on your simultaneous DE-EN translation skills... I can barely keep up with auto-translate. The HOPI apparently is a very universal tool... and to be honest the only thing I care about these LED bulbs is how many SMD LEDs are (as Big Clive would put it) grilling in series. Spec wise I still have to find a LED bulb's shade that I prefer over a CFL. And still I reckon incandescent is best... it's just so inconvenient: it burns and you waste a lot of energy as heat. And I know one thing: where I have inc. bulbs I can trust them for years and years... even dacades. Where I installed LED I expect to go at any moment... I've had several bulbs fail within hours, never seen anything like that with the worst of the resistive bulbs.

@@m80116 I'm wondering what do you mean by trusting incandescents for many years or "even decades" Sure enough you mean bulbs in a kind of application where they aren't on for any prolonged amount of time and are seldom used, like a bulb in an elevator machinery room, storage space, maybe a pantry, or something like that? I mean, an incandescent light does not last lots of years (like nearly a decade) by any stretch of the imagination if used everyday in a living room, kitchen... as it only has a lifecycle of like 1000 hours.

Von Osram habe ich hier auch viele LED-Retrofit-Lampen, davon ist bislang keine ausgefallen, aber das Warmweiß sieht schon ziemlich gelb aus.

Besonders bei den LED-Retrofit-Lampen von Osram ist mir das aufgefallen...

Eine von den Müllerlicht-LED-Lampen (verkauft unter der Marke Casaya) die ich hatte war direkt im Neuzustand schon defekt, sie flackerte. Ich dachte, das würde an der alten Lampenfassung liegen, deswegen hatte ich erst darin herumgebogen und schließlich aufgegeben. Erst nachdem eine zweite von diesen Lampen auch anfing zu flackern, kam ich darauf, dass der Fehler nicht in der Fassung, sondern in der Lampe lag!

Videos will continue to be in English language, this video is an exception because it discusses two LED retrofit lights that were on special offer in two discount store chains in Northern Germany. So this video is not relevant to an international audience.

@@DrCassette Hello Drcassette Perfect thanks.

Hauptsache meckern.
