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.
Hi mate. You may know the answer to my question. Is the cheaper supa glue which you get in the dollar stores, ok to use for all these fabulous hacks? Or do you have to buy the really more expensive one (ie: Supaglue’ brand) ?
People commenting that it's better to replace with a $3 , forget that this is viewed also in countries where a $3 is quite a lot of money to spend than repairing. I am in South Africa and I definitely will repair instead of replacing.
@@ClintByrne it's perfectly safe. There's a transistor in the base that downgrades the power to 2w to 18w. The full current isn't passing through the graphite in the pencil. But all you have to do is trace around the blown out light with a pencil to complete the 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.
@@Anonymous-zv9hk LEDs don't have a linear relationship between current and voltage. A quick Google search for "LED bulb internal wiring schematic" shows the LEDs in series, placed in parallel to a Zener diode, providing a constant voltage to the LEDs in series. You could measure across the failed LED to determine the Zener voltage, but you wouldn't know the design LED current and equivalent resistance because they vary. Unless you have the LED part number and can locate a data sheet, you would need to either take apart a good bulb, or temporarily connect an LED from a failed donor parts bulb, to measure the normal (all LEDs working) current and voltage drop, to know what size resistor to use.

@@Gnarmarmilla The higher electrical resistance of the graphite/clay/baking soda/super glue mixture will create heat, which can melt and combust the plastic.
@@-VolkoslaV- Funny thing, 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 stick to oil and grease lubricants causing more damage then using nothing. And quite a few time I have used them just like in the video to quick fix LED lights out on the job sites. Because it saves time rather than driving to a 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.
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.
I was thinking the same thing. You just effectively removed a resistor from the circuit, putting more current to the other LEDs (assuming the graphite is a good enough conductor to be approaching 0Ω) and without more information about the rest of the circuit and those LEDs load, he may have just turned all of them into a ticking timebomb of heat. At the very least he's going to accelerate the demise of the remaining LED's.
That’s what I said. Those contacts act as circuit breakers in case of overheating. Now it’ll continue to get hotter until there’s a fire! Someone wasn’t paying attention in class on this subject.

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
Cool, I was wondering if this trick would work on fixing remote control contacts that have been worn down? Like making a paste with the shavings and glue first then applying it. I've tried cleaning with eraser, denatured alcohol, and other things but nothing really works that well so far.
Your contact may have just acquired some non-conducting film (oxidation?), so try scraping the surface a bit with something like a knife blade or sandpaper.
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
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.
5 million views x 3 minutes = 25 million minutes. That’s 250 000 hours or 29 years of life wasted. And we wonder why the aliens can’t be arsed to stop by for a chat and a cuppa.
New video title: “How to teach people to make an electrical fire hazard using graphite and super glue. Oh, and teach people to stick metal objects into a live 110-220v circuit.” Gee what could possibly go wrong.
So does this mean the LED bulbs are usually connected in series? Such that if there's a fault in one, it affects the rest? To be honest, I've never even thought about it.
Yeah an it wouldn't put way more time n effort into increasing your chances of a house fire than I feel is sensical. Tbh you could take the foil wrapper off a Hershey's kiss or similarly packaged candy make a square a few layers thick an glue it over the dead led or the socket for the dead LED and it would be a quick 2-5 min fix for a bulb you probably are gonna wanna use somewhere you don't mind the added fire hazard lol.
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.

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
I can't tell if this is genius or ridiculous. The engagement it creates in the comment section is inspired, at least.
So how many ohms is that a resistor you just made and how many Watts ?
I have a new appreciation for soldering irons and pencil sharpeners
Just do this one thing...
Proceeds to do 40 other things
Cool, I was wondering if this trick would work on fixing remote control contacts that have been worn down? Like making a paste with the shavings and glue first then applying it. I've tried cleaning with eraser, denatured alcohol, and other things but nothing really works that well so far.
Your contact may have just acquired some non-conducting film (oxidation?), so try scraping the surface a bit with something like a knife blade or sandpaper.
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 💡
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
Learn something new every day!
😂
I did that too!
@@joeyjamison5772 This youtube video has created an entire industry of do it yourselfers!
I learned the word lug nut. Thanks.
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!
God bless capitalism.
Easiest video to report.... ever.
Spam? Check... Misleading? Check.... Reported... Check ✔️
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.
You seem like a safe person to be around
Yes and if apocalypse comes I got yea.
5 million views x 3 minutes = 25 million minutes. That’s 250 000 hours or 29 years of life wasted. And we wonder why the aliens can’t be arsed to stop by for a chat and a cuppa.
A drop of solder works WAY better
I hope kid’s don’t watch this and try at home.
Hello from India 🇮🇳
New video title: “How to teach people to make an electrical fire hazard using graphite and super glue. Oh, and teach people to stick metal objects into a live 110-220v circuit.” Gee what could possibly go wrong.
"Amazed," no. "Unimpressed," yes.
So does this mean the LED bulbs are usually connected in series? Such that if there's a fault in one, it affects the rest? To be honest, I've never even thought about it.
Yes, doing this will increase the voltage in the others, make them burn faster and potentially become a fire hazard
Purpose of baking soda? Maybe wet salt better? After putting superglue? It won't getDry? Good idea but is soldering possible?
Wouldn't a thin wire wrapped around the dead led do the same thing?
Less likely to burn down a house too
That's the way I'd do it.
I'm sure I've seen him do that in a different video
Yeah an it wouldn't put way more time n effort into increasing your chances of a house fire than I feel is sensical. Tbh you could take the foil wrapper off a Hershey's kiss or similarly packaged candy make a square a few layers thick an glue it over the dead led or the socket for the dead LED and it would be a quick 2-5 min fix for a bulb you probably are gonna wanna use somewhere you don't mind the added fire hazard lol.
Yes
Lots of potential applications...thanks for sharing.
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.
Where do you get molten copper from? 😧
Total materials cost: $7.99
New LED bulb: $2.49
Or a drop of solder or get a new $1 bulb
Where did you find a LED bulb fir $1?
In Australia it's around $5.
@@zdet4723 you're right , can't buy singles but about $1.80 a bulb , divided from a six pack Sylvania on Amazon, either way there's no way on earth I'd go to the trouble of this video to save a bulb.
@@zdet4723 Any Dollar Tree store has them for $1.25. If you aren't in the US, I guess you are on your own.
@@darylp8564 how are they gonna call themselves dollar tree when they're charging 1.25?! Inflation is getting out of control.
@@darylp8564 89cents. Walmart. It's like 15 bucks for 24 of them.
Oh great. Another child safe inventor video.
I think it's better to use a soldering iron
I think you're a hater
Wow. That’s marvelous. Thank you, mate.
That’s just dangerous
Won't the overall resistance change and potentially cause the other led diodes to burn out
Correct - current through remaining LEDs will increase, leading to a decreased life
It amazes me how this person comes up with this crazy stuff....
Gonna be real, I think they make Christmas lights that can go on even if a bulb blows out feels like that's something they can do for good
More of an EXTREME need or "teach your boy a little something about electricity" project. However, if you already feel like there's never enough hours in your day, then adopt this practice and at least you'll have something to point to! ;)
~ fyi: no complaints, I enjoyed it. but weighing my time v. replacement cost...easy.
