3 LED

Two things I've learned about LED lightbulbs, and one thing I've recently learned about myself:

  1. LED lightbulbs don't last anywhere near as long as it says on the box.  Not even close.
  2. When LED bulbs go bad, they don't simply stop working-- they start flashing like a strobe light.
  3. I am one of those people who are sensitive to strobe lights, so when an LED in its death throes starts flashing away I have to shut my eyes and leave the room.  Otherwise I'll end up on my knees with nausea.  
I was curious what the inside of an LED lightbulb looked like, so I sawed one open with a hacksaw. Everything is pretty flat inside. There's really no need for that big plastic dome, other than tradition:
