Just Put Super Glue on the Led Bulb and you will be amazed 

Me, a man with a soldering gun, watching someone sharpen a pencil to obtain graphite to mix with baking soda and super glue to add a conductive link to a circuit: 🧐

*From other similar videos* - can use foil and tape instead. - lifespan is short, because the current flow through the other LEDs is increased. - better options noted are a diode, LED or resistor to match the current flow. - best option presented is to use 1 bulb as a parts donor, remove LEDs with soldering iron or heat gun, and use in later bulbs that fail, here 1 donor bulb with 15 LEDs could repair 14 other bulbs, mark the side to match (clockwise or counterclockwise) because you have to maintain polarity.

I’m sure a lot of people would share my sentiments and say that I’ll just buy another bulb and use my time more efficiently

That's 3 minutes of my life I can't get back...Thanks

Seems like a lot of work to fix a $3 bulb, but I get your point. Just showing you can fix if needed.

That $4 bulb got way more attention than it deserved..

Wow! He invented a lightbulb using only a lightbulb and some other stuff! Amazing!

This guys a genius. I've been using ramen noodles for electrical circuits but they lose conductivity when they dry out. This is revolutionary.

Instead of graphite, you could also use the metal from the johnson rock that you can obtain from the top of Mt. Everest after fighting yetis and sacrificing 5 human male boys.

I had a flat tire on my car. Figuring I was screwed without a spare, I then recalled this amazing video. I mixed super glue and baking soda and attached a light bulb to each lug nut. It worked as well as this amazing video solution

The guy (after using graphite instead of a soldering iron): You know, I'm something of a scientist myself

This is awesome, thanks for posting!! Everyone knows it's next to impossible to find replacement LED bulbs these days. It's totally worth doing. If you don't have any superglue, just buy some... it's usually found near the light bulb section of your favorite store.

Instructions unclear. House on fire.

Can't say I was amazed. I was expecting something amazing if you applied super glue to the actual bulb like the picture implied.

How to create an electrical fire Hazzard 101. The resistance and the size of path you create with the graphite is pretty unpredictable.

Bro chopping up lines with the soda like he's done this before. 🤣

Thanks, I've been wondering what to do with my extra pencil graphite. 🤪

You could test another dead bulb, take a working led off of that bulb and solder it on to this one. Because if you keep taking leds off of this bulb and bridging the contacts where it used to be what you will find is the rest of the leds will start burning out faster and faster the more you do this because the the amount of current will increase each time you remove an led and do this.

Yes I tried this and now I look like Doc from back to the future. ⚡️

1 hour later he saved a $1 bulb amazing

Wouldn’t a tiny bit of solder work as well?

Make sure to use uninsulated tweezers and test the socket first

I've been drinking bottles of Windex for years to prevent me from streaking but this is revolutionary!!

This video is effective at teaching people to put tweezers into a live circuit running through the mains.

Seems like a little more than just superglue but I could be wrong LOL.

This is such a fire hazard 💀

Making the world a better place with super glue and baking soda one day at a time

The comments on this wall tho 🤣 too funny..

Handy tip. As an engineer, I feel confident soldering, but a lot of people don't have a soldering iron, but have lead, baking soda, and super glue.

They stopped the video before the house burnt down?

If don't insulate the tweezers and do this while sitting in a full bathtub it's really neat.

Way way way over kill

That's a lot of work. I would recycle and get a new bulb in the mean time

I think this was a bright idea. Like who would just go out and buy a new one for cheap, when you could do this and save yourself the inconvenience of replacing it altogether? The satisfaction of creating this fire hazard and putting your family at risk should be paramount, and is endorsed by the video creator. It came from the internet, so it must be great or true. All hail this life hack (or light hack?) We shall sleep easy at night knowing we have heroes giving us these quality fixes and optimal techniques. Think of all the women that must hang off his arms. So much awe, we've all been honored by watching this great video.

Keep the broken bulbs (throw away old blown leds) use the leds to fix all your other bulbs.

Before I clap my hands he has to show me first how to reattach and reseal the bulb cover which is the more difficult part.

Now your spread the same electrical load over one less LED. The remaining LEDs are over-driven and will likely burn out more quickly. Get more pencils and super glue!

I couldn’t help myself, but I snorted that pencil lead and baking soda mixture!😳

Excellent fire hazard well done .🔥

Or, you could buy a new light bulb, lol. They last quite a long time usually, so replacing it wouldn't be an extravagance. (The LED bulbs on my front porch burn between 8 and 12 hours a night depending on the time of year, and have been doing so for 5 years without replacement, so far.)

This look so safe!

That was way quicker and more convenient than changing the bulb.

Cool trick. I’ll buy another bulb.

Nobody noticed that the burnt LEDs have a different (lighter) color?

I can see thousands of people going "whyd he put that thing on the tweezers like that?" And skipping that step......

Love watching these videos.... Loss of brain cells makes my life less complicated.

Used to use pencil lead tracings to bypass BIOS locks on Enterprise edition Dell laptops. Worked a treat!

I saw one of these tutorials, used a piece of aluminum foil to fill in and it worked just the same, without all this hassle 💡

Soldar os terminais também resolve e é bem mais eficaz.

If everything in life was that simple I'd give up .

All you have to do is trace the blown out light with a pencil about 6-7 times to complete the circuit again.

Congratulations, you just made that blub blow completely two times faster to get a couple of hours of lighting.

kudos for highlighting that we can fix things and delay more e-waste from going to the landfill. (yes, that is shade at all the "i'll just buy another one" comments) But there are a number of easier, safer, and quicker ways to jump the dead LED circuit. Personally, I could have just placed a small sliver of solid metal on it and then secured it with a drop of RTV silicon or some other high temperature safe adhesive instead of superglue.

Very nice fix! Clear instructions!

People are going to be shock8ng themselves after watching very clever

Well that's certainly more than "just put super glue"....Maybe just say DIY conductive element for circuit.

Just do this one thing... Proceeds to do 40 other things

Superb tip!!!If only for colouring the Sodium Bic its brilliant. The fact that it is conductive is beyond belief for one who's soldering is more like welding!!

I have a new appreciation for soldering irons and pencil sharpeners

I hope kid’s don’t watch this and try at home.

Or you can spend 3 bucks for a 5 pack at dollar general and spare yourself this headache.

I replaced all the leds with the mix. I now have a custom dark bulb.

I think it's easier and quicker to buy a new bulb 💡 😜.. Also tip : a better quality bulb 🙏🏾

I'm confused as to why you would do this?

Won't the overall resistance change and potentially cause the other led diodes to burn out

I think this video shows a perfect master at work. It's pure pleasure to watch him. I hope there are many more videos like this to come.

This video was definitely made for me a woman in Jamaica with no maintainance and reairing skill this video is definitely a like for me.

Yes, this indeed amazing. But Isn't make leds becoming hot faster than before? Because, suppose there are 10 leds, 1 died... The power supplies energy ofc for 10 leds, make the loads lesser, means too much power input for others

OR you can put in a new bulb...🤔💡🤷🏻‍♀️

The most amazing thing about this video is that I took the time to watch it.

Alright , but how about if another LED is burnt ,later another and another ? How many times can you fix it like that (or with a soldering gun) without increasing the overall electric power of a circuit too much ???

Never know when I might be in a position where I have to choose between replacing a light bulb or feeding myself. Thanks for the info!

R.i.p idiots shocking themselves

thank you!. You gave me an idea of how to repair a broken carbon /membrane bridge in a pcb

You seem like a safe person to be around

What is the resistance of the graphite compared to the LED? Maybe it is better than solder.

JUST SUPERGLUE ? LIES AGAIN

Funny thing, To all those who criticize if it was soldered the resistance would be too low and the light would soon burn out completely, especially if it was a cheep bulb. Also each of those LED's are running on 8v of power. So the chance of fire is practically non-existent. I would even argue the lit LED's are most likely throwing more heat then that bridge. I personally for years have used construction pencils for lubrication on many of my tool because the abrasive dust I create sticks to oil and grease lubricants causing more damage then using nothing. Quite a few time I have used that pencil lead just like in the video to quick fix LED lights out on the job sites, because it saves time and money. Rather than driving to some store somewhere in a town you don't know just to find they don't sell high powered lights. To date I own 3 light that have been repaired in similar fashion and they are at least 4-5 years old by now.

Bro the moment he starts pouring out the baking soda 😂 I'm dying!

Wouldn't a thin wire wrapped around the dead led do the same thing?

This would be incredibly useful, in a setting where the world no longer makes LED light bulbs. But also, I can't imagine a setting where a torch doesn't also do the trick instead.

These replies are brilliant. I've been rofling for the last 10 minutes.

Me, a man with a working LED lightbulb, watching a guy break a perfectly working LED circuit to then make one out of graphite to replace it. 🤔

Or a drop of solder or get a new $1 bulb

Great way for a future insurance claim when your home burns to the ground from too much resistance causing heat. My self a $1.25 at the "Dollar" store is a safer route to go.

Wow.... Just trying to get the plastic bulb off is far more work than I'm willing to invest.

Good vidéo 👍 MacGyver 😁😋 tanks

Personally, I think the best option is to just dip the whole exposed array of LEDs in molten copper. Trust me, it will light up nice and bright when you plug it back in.

Fire Hazzard advice for all. 😂😂😂😂😂

But, why?

Imagine if multimeters existed

बहुत ही अच्छा आइडिया दिया है। धन्यवाद जी।

great job good friend keep up the good work

I think it's better to use a soldering iron

I haven't disliked a video in years and wow, it felt good doing that lol

I love it. So simple.

If a person already has heat shrink in their tool box they might have approached this differently.

Dude: "Just use..." Also dude: proceeds with a series of specific tedious and small steps before using the glue Noice

Genius. With the price of these bulbs new it’s worth it to mend them. Ty.
