beko1987 Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Went into Robert dyas earlier, and saw one of these in the cheap bin (ex display) Fancied trying one for ages, so picked it up and once the cheap shit app was sorted, it plays with my Google home nicely, and emits not half bad light either. Went on ebay just now and bought 2 more for not much more than the £7 one above, for the 2nd front room and hall light...

What a bargain* I hope they last! interesting to see they managed to cram some semblance of smart tech into such a small space (unless they have a plastic collar?) these bulbs use a gas heatsink a combination helium and other gases (as helium has a high thermal mass) in the bulb to keep the LED strips/filaments at the correct temperature the problem is helium is a really small gas on a molecular level, so if you have a less then perfect glass to metal seal it can leak out over time and then LED's fail because they are no longer have any form of heatsink this is generally not a problem if you have been making incandescent lightbulbs for the past 50 years and have the techniques down, but a lot of the Chinese OEM's these LED bulbs are sourced from have not, so you see a lot of early failures sadly its a shame as otherwise its quite an elegant solution to the fact LED's need heat-sinking and making the bulb look pleasing to the eye (it gets rid of the unsightly and expensive/hard to make metal heatsinks) and if you are a manufacture of incandescent lamps then you can easily and quickly adapt your production lines over myglaren, rainagain and Remspoor 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
