Your big-top circus guide to why so many 100W LEDs are a pile of elephant poo.

Nice one Coco – you tell ‘em
Have these LEDs improved, or are they the same pile of elephant poo as they were 7 years ago?
It's been a while since I've been to clown college, so thankyou Coco!
Ah, those were the days… pie inna face class on mondays, exploding capacitors on wed… I usually burnt out circuit boards on thursdays with bad datasheets. Such is the way of school.
I know this is a terribly old video Clive, but I gotta say – this is precisely the format that people need to be producing fact videos on regarding pretty much everything in life, lol 😂
It’s as though the same stupidity that was exhibited to make you create this, is present in all aspects of the same people’s minds – no matter the topic… 🤦♂️
China can keep there comments and crappy led lights nobody wants landfill
Lol, educating the haterz one video at a time… 😂🤣👍
Coco? No! I see you as more like Puddles Pity Party! ;-p
Thanks for calling a spade a spade
I would love to see a schematic of that little tester that you used there. I bought some 10W LEDs from banggood a while back. So far I've built a couple of small fixtures that use them, and am running them at about 3W, with quite sufficient brightness. The ones I got are wired internally as you've shown there, it's my understanding that you can also get them with all of the elements wired in series. I didn't want those because I wanted to be able to use them on a 12V supply.
What gets me about this stuff is that a lot of those crappy ones should have been culled as a part of the manufacturing process as being defective, and yet they're putting them out there and people are buying them! Jeez…
You don't make me laugh often but the "Coco the Clown" had me going for a good minute.
haters gonna hate…
I have an old projector at home. I found the service manual of it, which says the lamp outputs 3600 lumens, so I decided to replace it with a chinese chip bought from aliexpress for about 20 USD. I successfully removed the ballast of the old lamp, overridden the ballast check on powerup, and assembled the "100w 3600 lumen'" LED and its 100W drver circuit into the projector.
Everything lights up, but it is nothing compared to the luminous power of the original projector lamp. I have checked the inside of the projector assembly, and there is almost no light escaping from the inside. Have I been scammed? Where can I find a good place to buy a real (minimum) 3600 lumen strong LED chip? (I am just hoping that the driver circuit is really 100W, because thats also from China)
