@keiraholst1563 Год назад

The engineering topics you'd need under your belt are: - PWM (changes the intensity of light) - Voltage threshold (voltage drop exists in wires and below a certain threshold, the component stays off) Manipulate voltage threshold as you need with resistors/capacitors and such. At least, that's my humble guess.

@electricidea 3 года назад

Hey Mehdi, years ago I had the same problem with cheap LED lights from IKEA: If I only disconnected one supply line, they continued to glow dimmed. They were powered by a cheap power supply and I solved the problem with a better power supply. This was a power supply which generates DC without ripple. The cheap power supply from IKEA had a considerable ripple on the DC output voltage. Therefore I suspected the cause in a kind of induction, because it was fixed with a smooth DC voltage. Induction only works with AC voltage as we all know... OK, my LEDs were designed for direct current. Therefore there was certainly no rectifier in it. That is then like a bad rectifier in the cheap LED lamps you tested. Then the ripple of the bad power supply with the direct current LEDS works like the alternating current and the bad rectifier in the AC lights, right? Or to keep the story short: The phenomenon also exists with 5V and ripple on the power supply. Fascinating, isn't it?

@erlgro 2 года назад

". Induction only works with AC voltage as we all know... " lol ;) does it? :p

@electricidea 2 года назад

@@erlgro Absolutely correct! But if a power supply does not produce a good DC voltage, then the small amount of changing current direction or pulsating voltage is enough to induce a small current. Then the LED lights up. And that even if only one wire is connected!

In Italy there are screwdrivers with a little light in them, which you can use to test live wires for current.

Sounds like the same principle as the chinese led light.

They are working somehow differently, as no capacitor is involved within the screwdriver. There are two electric components: a neon glow lamp and a high-resistance resistor (sometimes built into the lamp). The resistor limits the current to a harmless level.

Hi sir One thing i like this channel very much because you first demonstrate practically and then theoretically by drawing circuit diagrams and your puns and getting shocked frequently and with standing it like an iron man... And at end of video your voice music is splendid... Another amazing content sir....🙏👍😊

Could you do a video talking about how the dimmable LED bulbs work? - compare them to the standard non-dim LEDs.

@segevstormlord3713 3 года назад

One interesting thing is that this half-addresses a question I've had about the commercial incandescent-replacement LED bulbs just like the one you struggled to break into the plastic housing of in this video: when they fail, the first sign is that you turn off the light, and the LEDs flicker for a little while afterwards. Eventually, they flicker when on, then don't turn on. I wonder if this is the control electronics failing in a way that causes shorts across the drain resistors. Is there a way to fix this, or to set up your bulbs so that they don't suffer this?

LEDs sometimes act like a PV panel. When they operate in the reverse they are used a movement sensors and are also producing power. So while they are set up in series and you make a full bridge rectifier using LEDs you increased the chance of the LEDs lighting up without being connected to any power supply.

@MrHeroicDemon 5 лет назад

I understand him but he does get into some detailed stuff but he broke it down nicely, He used the resistor to absorb some current that is stuck in a loop to stop the glow, the small lights can glow with the left over charge while the light is turned "off". It uses the wire in your home as a tool to keep the looped charge. That's what I got from this. Would be fantastic for hallways at night.

@jdilksjr 4 года назад

Instead of breaking the return wire of the circuit, break the live wire. I had this problem when I replaced fixtures in my house. Some glowed and some did not. The ones that glowed the switch was breaking the return wire, which works with Incandescent lights but not these lights. I re-wired the switch so that it broke the live wire going to the fixture.

@flybyw Год назад

I thought it's common sense to install the switch on the live side before the appliance, as taught in school.

@EduardGabrielMunteanu Год назад

Yeah, switching the live wire is standard and safer. Doing it the other way around leaves the return wire live even when the switch is off. (Although you should turn off the circuit breaker anyway for extra safety when working on it.)

@rnoid Год назад

Did you mention the full bridge rectifier is also needed if using the series capacitor to supply power, to enable a charge & discharge path?

Thanks for sharing, one quick question. Why some LED 120V lightbulbs mostly used in recessed lighting ( very common in US nowadays) flicker when used with dimmer switches while trying to dim the lights i.e will not dim smoothly either to bright and starts flickering when dimmed but work fine under regular switch. Thanks.
