I made my first LED lamps a considerable time ago when there were hardly any available to buy. The cases were made from repurposed bases from compact fluorescent lamps.
The original red ones (red LEDs are super-rugged) are still going strong, even with continuous 24/7 operation.

One of my favourite Clive videos! Something inherently cool about competently making one's own household items, especially less traditional ones.
It feels good to make reliable good quality tings.
i bought a gu10 lamp and put it in an old b22 cfl base. nice slimline spotlamp now.
A home brew LED lamp before the mainstream commercial ones arrived. Thanks for sharing.
Very interesting and a wonderful channel 🙂
The LR G6SP are 625nm. It's a nice red orange color.
I wonder how good the first gen 40 and 60w equivilant bulbs are doing now.
nice video, well explained
Hi think your videos are rely good. I'm wording if it's possible you can do something on LED headlight for cars or motorbikes
Leave a red lamp lit in the window at night for me to find my way back to you, oh those old westerns… 🙂 Nice work on those 🙂
Hi Clive, great video – any other creations to share?
I always take my hallway lamp with me on my journeys, just kidding Clive!
I wonder if there would be a way to mechanically connect the discharge resistor only when removing a lamp from the socket.
