RE: Sylvania RefLED R50 Teardown

Hi Shabaz,

I have yet to purchase an upscale LED Bulb. All of my LED bulbs were bought from the Dollar Store a year ago and I have yet to have one fail. I have been tempted to crack a good one open just to see how they are constructed. I like lots of light in my work areas so I routinely double them up.

Thank you for sacrificing one of your bulbs and taking the time to let us peek inside.

John

Great teardown and analysis. These LEDs bulbs are improving, but there is still room to go. I replaced almost every bulb in my house about a year ago with well reviewed bubs. To date, I have 3 solid failures and 3-4 that are starting to 'blink' or toggle on-off. I still have to see if the manufacturer will honor their guarantee.

Nice read!
