104 LED filament lamp - just because....
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 พ.ย. 2021
- What initially started as a rough rig to test some bulk LED filaments from Aliexpress, turned into an attempt at making a really big LED filament lamp.
It has to be said that side by side, the 12 filament Philips Dubai lamp appeared brighter at a similar power. So the Philips LEDs are definitely higher efficiency.
None of the filaments supplied in this batch were broken, there were a few that had clearly been weeded out in the factory, and they provided a few extra. The packaging was simple with the three strips of filaments on a piece of cardboard and wrapped with film. Antistatic packaging would be preferred, but they seem to have survived shipping well.
The listing I bought these LEDs from is:-
www.aliexpress.com/item/10050...
The cost was £10 per set of 100 filaments, but that may go up if lots of orders are placed.

This also keeps the channel independent of TH-cam's advertising algorithms allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty.

you could make a big seven-segment display from these
Mikeselectricstuff did.
Or maybe a member emitting something, as shown by a traveling stream of lit filaments?
Yes.

2:05 When I did the electronics module in A Level physics, whenever we had a test or an exam, often, one of the questions was to draw a bridge rectifier, but I could never remember which way round the diodes went, so I always had to work it out in my head as I drew it. If only someone had said "all the diodes point to positive." It's obvious too, when you think about it.
Honestly i still prefer the block drawing cause it's much less annoying, faster and cleaner than my crooked diode bridge
It is usually the simple things that mess with us..
I was always like, "okay, this is going to be positive, so these two go this way, and this is going to be negative so those two go that way". But I never 'made the connection', and realized that yeah, they all point to positive.
the way I do it is, draw the diamond with caps in the place of the diodes, then simply turn the caps into diodes. I do this quite often when I am not sure which way to put the diode, draw it as a cap, think about it and convert to diode.
I was lucky enough to hear this line "all the diodes point to positive" from the local tv mechanic. And it saved me later in physics lab
It's not an ugly creation, Clive. It's a 3D-mounted electronic circuit, yet another piece of art.
It could be squashed down to a more 2D style if Clive was radical and actually used some thin heatshrink tubing to insulate the bare wires…
IIRC it's called "deadbug style", because it remembers a dead bug evidently
Anytime the Kink Palculator makes an appearance you know the project is a gooder
Yeah... you _could_ run them at low power... or you could HUMBLE THE SUN!!! Come on, Clive, they can take like a watt per strip right? So 100W lamp, that isn't anything to be scared of! Show who's boss to them channels with the hundred LED flashlight things they think are so clever. Come oooon! You know Photon would do it!
It might require more than a capacitive dropper for that.
Is it weird I read HUMBLE THE SUN as Dr. Doofenschmirtz? SET FIRE TO THE SUN!
Come back Photonicinduction, all is forgiven.
styropyro would like to know your location.
@@olsmokey what happened to photonicinduction? What did I miss? Lol
I use a UV flashlight to count the individual LEDs, they glow as bluish dots as the phosphor glows yellow. My filaments operate optimally at 60 volts each.
"Optimally" should, if we are being realistic, include lifespan.
Just for a count, this works, especially on these type of filament/diode circuits. If it is shrouded by a diffuser it obviously doesn't help bit this is a good tip.
welding helmet/lens works also with LED powered on, you can look right into them safely
Emitters. No Filament.
@@Karl_Kampfwagen I call the "sticks" composed of many individual emitters (LEDs) "filaments" since that is what they are intentionally trying to simulate by design. 🙂👍
They do look quite well matched on the brightness side of things which is progress. Look forward to projects using these filaments!
Man, I just realized that I've been subscribed to this channel long enough to remember when Clive didn't introduce the Cliff Quicktest by name every time he used it. When I decided to look into getting one, I had to dig around for a bit to find the video where he mentioned its name.
Thanks! I just asked and then saw your comment.
I really, really like those filament style LEDs. Years ago I bought several bulbs that used those and were about as close as you can get to an early 1900's style bulb while still having useful light, which I absolutely adore. I know there are others that look even closer to the original bulbs, but those are purely for show that give off next to no light. Not that that's a bad thing, of course. But I prefer them being functional as well as visually appealing.
i bought one with a rustic-looking lamp for my mom last year! they're called edison bulbs if we're talking about the same thing
Yes, the filament bulbs are the only ones I like to buy. They've gone down in price quite a lot over the years. Those offerings from people like Phillips I think with the hazy opaque plasticy bulb and plastic base with the gubbins in just aren't the same 🥳
I also love the Edison bulb for LED lighting because you get the aesthetic dialect of incandescent with the energy savings of LED. And, you can bet that Thomas Edison could scarcely have imagined that we could turn his light bulbs any color of the rainbow using the power of the internet. Also, I read about a new LED fabrication process that produces a CRI of 98+, making it the closest thing LED has yet become to natural daylight or incandescent light.
A couple of years ago on Amazon I accidentally bought a Maglite Solitaire penlight that used an incandescent bulb instead of a LED cob. It was so dim that I thought I'd been scammed! But yeah, it turns out that there's a market for really dim lights. In the case of my little Solitaire it turned out to be for aviators and campers. In those fields, it's beneficial to have a dim light by which you can read maps and manuals without disrupting your night vision.
I recently bought three of the ST64 by Philips Hue and put them in a nice table lamp, all upright next to each other in a horizontal configuration. They are dimmable and go very bright, but can also be super dim solely as decorative fixtures. Expensive but pretty neat!
I always really like the videos where you’re making your own lights.
Impressive as Clive's soldering skills are I'm thinking a ship in a bottle type build. Imagine the shapes and structures... 🙂
Would love this. Then say, put in an inverted 5 gallon carboy!!
I've said it before & I will say it again, True Cliveinites (fans of Clive for those who currently have that "cow looking at an oncoming train" blank stare) absolutely respect, honor & love Clive for his personality, knowledge, honesty & the most important of all...doing shit for no other reason than he can! Now, make no mistake the man's a seasoned veteran, a real Pro at this stuff, I don't see any other channels having the foresight to use an explosive containment pie pan, or forks of death! Thank you for including us in your mad science experiments Clive!
Not often the circuit looks exactly the same as the circuit diagram. 👍
Clive always good at explaining everything even in layman's terms
What's a layman, in layman's terms?
Pretty interesting how these come, was kinda expecting a tube. Cheers for the share!
You could make either a ridiculously bright filament lamp (if the filaments are rated 0.5-1.0w ea) of 50w+ or a super long lasting one that still provides an entire room of light (round cage maybe?).
Instead of a "super long _lasting"_ lamp, how about a _super long_ lamp‽ 👀
Connect all 100 filaments in series! It'd be like a fluorescent lamp! Or an LED strip!
But instead of being powered by _boring_ 12V, 24V, 120V, or 240V, it'd require a _far more interesting_ 4~5 kV! (According to my sleep-deprived calculations, anyway 😴)
Can the FART transformer output voltage get that high at enough mA? I don't recall its specs 🤔
(I only managed 3 hours of sleep last night, so after feeling like a zombie all day … _this_ … is apparently what my brain comes up with while I'm barely still conscious 😶 🤷♀️)
_Don't play with high voltage, kids!_
@@AndrewGillard A cold-cathode neon transformer might work.
I was thinking maybe build a large corn-style bulb, but with a potentiometer in series, so that you could make it a 20w bulb that lasts forever, or crank it up to something like 50w that would have a shorter lifespan, if left to run at that brightness for a long time.
@@arletottens6349 I'll be looking forward to witness the LED saber of death right here on the grest interwebs.
@@AndrewGillard that's a very stupid idea. I love it.
You are a very polite gentleman, with a soothing voice.
The pinkculator is back!
Clive I love it when you mirror electroboom with the FULL BRIDGE RECTIFIER, your lovely accent makes even more enjoyable and makes me giggle like a school girl when you do it
5:50 “This looks safe” Clive, 2021. Long live CLIVE! Love ya brother!
This type of video is hands down one of my favorites to see you make stuff up. I'm excited to see this Clive-ai lamp. This will be epic. You are gonna give Phillips some serious competition. Can I pre order 1,000 units? Great video
I think it should be written Clive-aye in honour of his heritage ;-)
He's going to try to buy the Lordship of Mann from King Chucko and the House of Keys and these will be called the Mann Special Edition low-ewaste lamps.
I jest
Bigclive, a fantastic example of creating your own lamps. Cannot wait for the next idea 💡 from this
Using a safety device by bypassing the safety is very amusing, because we've all done it before.
I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with as this looks afordable and impressive.
Whimsical. A nice light video.
Clive, thanks for saying 120 volt American fixtures. Drives me nuts when people say 110 volts when it's not been that way for like 40 years.
I think generally it's a good idea to rate toward the upper end of what it can be like in the UK, it can still be higher than 240, if you don't take that in to account you could see results you didn't expect
110 has the advantage of being the international and memorable value from the traditional set of 55/110/220 . 55 V is appropriate for arc-lamps (19th century). 110V and 220V are the doubled values chosen as standards when the electrical grids were built. 230 and 115 seem to be fallout from the idiotic attempt to create an EU compromise between 220V grids in the rest of the EU and the unusual 240V grid in the UK. The only nice thing about 230V is that the 3-phase version is a round 400V instead of the traditional 380V.
I get in trouble with certain people if I say NZ uses 240VAC when it really uses 230VAC. Mind you, those people then start talking about earthing systems and totally confuse me :)
@@johndododoe1411 only 55 for an arc lamp?
Where I am in Aus atm my UPS is showing 235V atm.
I love the pink calculator so much!
They seem to promise a singles day price of € 13,03 / lot in 2 days or so... let's see how well Mr. Cheng holds up to his promise if he gets a ton of orders from us :-)
Brilliant Clivei lamp. Certainly giving Phillips a run for their money. Every home should have Dubai lamps. Thanks for sharing Clive. 😀👍
And the most spot on Clive thing ever, the dayglo-pink calculator. Thank you for the video, loved to follow the thought process.
This is quite interesting. Can't wait to see what you do with these!
I love everything that emits light for some odd reason!
LEDs are on top of the list.
Oh Nice another Clive video you making my Sunday better.
Who cannot admire Clive's version of the solderless connection? :)
The plan for the fake dubai lamp sounds really good!
The Clive-ai lamp. Brilliant! Literally!
That bridge rectifier is the most hilarious thing I have ever seen. You straight up just did the drawing and then bent it.
Am looking forward to seeing how this works out, I have started 'doobying' the light fittings in my home from the video you did. Would be interesting to see if you can create a 'high power' dubai-style lamp which could adequately illuminate a larger room with the single bulb, maybe using 15-20w.
Looking forward to seeing what you make out of all those strips
It hasn't bothered me but, thanks for telling us about bring the lights back up.
It shows you are being considerate of your audience.
Really enjoyed how you exploited the 3rd dimension in the creation of your test rig (rather a lot, really)
I appreciate when you tell us to watch our eyes- I'm usually watching this at night with a toddler sleeping nearby 🤣
Love this.
Not overseen in these filaments, though. They're really fragile, I had a pocket floodlight torch with one inside. Really good for working in small spaces. Dropped it once and now it's willing to work only occasionally. So... Great in non destructive environments. Saying non destructive, I'm amazed (and disappointed) that you haven't torched the lot ;-)
Great experiment and test Clive, I would suggest to increase the wattage of the 1 k resistor as it will age after a few turn on and offs with the inrush current to the 470 nF capacitor. (1 Watt is usually enough) On Cree streetlight leds I use 2 uF and 100 R 5 Watt for I limit and that has been going for years without fail.
I did get caught out with that resistor. I normally use a high value on very low current droppers. The LED current ended up being higher than I expected.
Thank you for a very interesting video. This seems to be exactly what I needed for a retrofit I have been contemplating. Ordered some straight away. Thanks again.
I love these lamps, i've had many osram bulbs over the years, and they all burn out after less than a year of use due to overheating.
I've had some cheaper brands that actually caught fire aswell, but these led-filament bulbs just last forever!
I have 7 of these in a chandelier in the bathroom (sounds fancier than it actually is) and they have ran continously for 8 years now, only turned them off to prank the wife every now and again..
for the first time I like an in-the-air circuit on TH-cam 😅
Quality illumination right there Mate! I didn't re3alise they were so cheap nowadays, and it has given me an idea for a fairly high output outdoor luminaire using a few of these "collections"!
I foresee glass blowing equipment in BigClive's new workshop for CLIVEai Lamps. Maybe we'll get a new channel of howto videos with GlassCliveSlinger modelling spectacular frocks.
That's pretty cool, Clive.
Great video as always Clive. thanks...!
it's not ugly, this is still better than most stuff people sell on etsy overall.
I have been waiting for this video for sooo long, thanks Clive! I guess I know your interests long enough now that I was not to be disappointed and there will be something like this soon.
Top job as always
Finally got around to converting those 120v items to 220v. Gotta love those dropping capacitors. Thanks for the advice!
Good video, I like the whole strip of those lit up. Maybe you could solder some extra ones into the places where there are missing ones.
I rememberin the good ol' days before mains-powered LED lamps were affordable, my dad made his own. He usually kept the bases and electronics from failed CFL lamps, and would use the bridge rectifier and smoothing capacitor on those tiny CFL driver boards to make a 168VDC supply, which he would then connect to a set of 5mm white LEDS.
Unfortunately, the super-cheap 5mm white LEDs didn't last long, and the homemade LED lamps would lose brightness pretty fast. He got tired of swapping out LEDS, commercial ones are now affordable and relatively reliable, so the homemade ones are sitting in the shop pile somewhere.
I should see if I can get Dad some LED filaments to play with, he could make some fun 3D printed novelty lamps....
"Point toward the positive and point away from the negative. " Sounds like we have a song coming on :)
Nice, can't wait to see more projects with those.
The strobing is surprisingly prominent
All diodes point to the positive now i will be able to remember. Thanks Stephen.
Clive's name is Stephen?
Very cool Clive, love the clivi lamp
Nice Clive looking forward to your finished lamp, it should look awesome if you make it.
Came here for carbonated madness and shenanigans. Ended up subscribing just to hear Big Clive talk... Why is it that some people can talk about absolutely anything, and you still want to listen? And why is it that not a single politician in history has this ability?!?
Finally we can make super-dubai bulbs
Can't wait to see this lamp.
That was absolutely amazingly Awesome big Clive
As someone who works at factory, I did make a couple of janky jigs to test LED strips... and messing around with naked wires IS an industry standard... not just in china :D
My buddy Clive. Keep up the great videos. Haven't been able to catch the live steams like I used to since Hurricane Ida took our home internet and reliable mobile service. Looking forward to seeing you soon in your steams.
great idea. love it
I loved your Dubai LED lamp video. very interesting
Yeah, this is safe 🤣🤣🤣 Classic Clive 👌
It's nice to see how small your power supply is. Useful for projects with limited space. Imagine if 12V 50W or 100W would be somehow that small.
(thumbnail-pic) WOW, 1872 LEDs, take those to the Antiques Roadshow :P
I could see these being good for a lighting panel, like those TH-camrs use to give area and personal lighting for podcasts etc. As the individual LED strips are less harsh than small dots in conventional LED's.
I ordered a few of these that are 3v, they came today. Pretty cool little lights. Hooked up to cigarette sized (vape) batteries. Neat little device to show folks/car key fob light.
Philips have released an LED 'HPL" series of LED filament lamps designed to replace lower wattage MBF. I picked up an 18w lamp which is designed to replace an 80w and it's quite impressive at 3000lm!
Very impressive, Clive. All you need now, is a fish bowl to put it all in.
And the fish, don't forget the cute, little fish!
Oooh, Love these and all the creative things they could be used for.
I'll have to check to see if they have any low voltage versions.
They have. I made a wire-suspended text in a picture frame out of 38 parallel 3V filaments. (And I soldered 38 smd resistors to each filament before soldering them into the net mid-air ... I'll not be building a second one anytime soon XD)
Interesting! I've seen LED bulbs with similar shaped filaments yet the bulb is advertised to consume ~ 5 watts. Certainly these look easier to use if you want to wire them to a mains voltage for cheap
sweet Clive I will order some of those today because i can build some cool looking LED lights !
"Cliveye" Trademark that! 'Safer, greener electronics for your future.'
Awesome!!! I not knows that these LED filaments are sold separately, as another guy said before you can do a 7 segment displays with them, but had to regard his specs (voltage drop and maximum direct current) so you had to make an exclusive power supply line and a proper driver circuits since logic output circuitry can't driven it directly, I imagine making a big numitron displays with them...
Greetings from Brazil!!!
This man is a legend, I saw this after the Dubai lamp video and I was like damn this is gonna be interesting!
Love your videos Clive. Keep it up.
I'm picturing a massive Big Clive logo light made with hundreds of these filament LEDs
i cannot unhear full bidge rectifier wihtout Mehdi's voice
I'd like to see a vertical fluorescent tube lamp with the phospors removed and these inside.
After nearly 200 years, ohm’s is being calculated on a pink calculator. He will be proud
thank you for this detailed knowledge
Yes, yes very well done indeed. Very emotional!..
For once I was ahead of you on design. Lol. I was thinking how I would do it and boom you had the same thing. My thought was to shape them into a cone, like a spot light with the negative side on the outside ring. The globe is also a good idea, maybe a small fish bowl from poundland.
Sometimes, I feel like BigClive is ElectroBoom but slightly more careful with live wires :D
The first time that I saw the HOPI not hopping, as only the led stripes were on 👍👍👍 !!!
All you need is an upside-down goldfish bowl glued to the top of a tall vase with a wide openning to make a large light bulb. LOL
Philips gave us the Dubai light bulbs, and Edinburgh gave us this. A win for Scotland.
@Matt Quinn it's the best I could do as a Finn LOL. Thanks for the correction. I thought all Glaswegians sounded like Groundskeeper Willy??
Can you imagine the green after image in the center of your vision if all you did everyday for work was manually test LEDs ?
What I think would look awesome is to twist the filament strip round to make a "helter-skelter" arrangement, then mount it into a glass done or tube.
Excellent… my friend .. simple ..clear… informative.. can’t wait too see ridiculous lamp build… Challenge yourself try to make it better than the Dubai lightbulb using more filaments than they do.. 🎉
From what I've seen in previous uploads, Clive loves enormous videos.
Impressive soldering skills and quite interesting video 😁
Big Clive. Have you considered doing any of these lighting projects using cordless tool batteries? Such as ryobi 20v or the ryobi 40v. I am using the 40v which are being solar charged during the day to power both indoor and outdoor lighting at night. Also Christmas lighting now. I have found a great mppt charge controller for charging these 40v batteries via programming.
