In this episode of Fix It! I will be having a look at a self-dimming LED downlight that quit working after only 1.5 years of usage. I will not only find the simple mistake that makes the light useable again but I will also explore the lights circuit secrets. I will show you exactly how it works and I will also directly compare it to the same lamp type which was produced a couple of years later and show you how the new light does everything better. Let’s get started!

One of my best teacher ❤️
Is it me or you lost weight ? 😀
Sherlock scott
New Idea: Power inverter using sg3525 and IR2110?
Why don't you make an ossciloscope using arduino.
Can you make a video about sensored and sensorless brushless systems like Castle and Hobbywing?
Please make anything using raspberry Pi zero
Ending with " i will see you next time" so cringe
Do you think you'd ever do a DIY or buy for HDMI KVM's? I do a lot of work on 3+ computers and would love to build a diy KVM but I don't know where to start. I know software solutions exist but I'd love to get the hands on knowledge of building it myself! Great video btw 😀
I really enjoy your channel 🙂
Time 4 a new intro Mabey
Hey Scott! I see you sometimes using Arduinos. I don’t know if you know the Seeeduino XIAO, but maybe that’s something cool to check out ? Recently saw them on AliExpress and decided to buy a bunch. Really tiny devices and you can do quite a bit with them.
Love to see improvements in even the smallest part of one’s home’s appliances.
No flickering is GREAT.
PWM is usually use because it cheaper.
Glad to see the new IC.
Isn't it ugly to sell something else under the same name?
Great!
By the way can you explain how that multiple outputs are handled by single pole switch using RC timer.
Past couple of days I was building an adjustable temperature led light panel to my room. This kind of function might be the best way to control it.
Are there any differences in light colors between both dimming technologies? I think the cause why using PWM is to maintain the full and original light color.
Liebe Grüße 😀
What the fuck is wrong with your language?
Who in their right mind looked at german and thought "hmmm… not enough rules" and why did the same individual after getting high on brake fluids decide to make a crap ton of exeptions to those same rules. What the actual fuck
Are you an electrical engineer or an electronics engineer?
I'm so hooked on this channel that now I'm starting to say "Stay creative and I will S E E Y O U N E X T T I M E !" like him
Very interesting
You are my favourite youtuber! i always like you`re videos.
Normal people:buy a new lamp
Great scott:let's open it and see what's inside
I dont trust Ebay, Aliexpress etc.
welcome Mr. breath
i had same problem
Damn that electrical box is a work of art. I mean, great video as always, but damn that's nice cable management.
GreatScott, the man who empties his pens faster than he manages to dim his LED lights;)
Scott had a Big Clive moment. Approved!
i enjoyed that video : )
Hello Great Scott! Nice video.
Did you understand how the new design converts AC to DC and boost it ? I cannot see any capacitive dropper like in the old design …
How does the cable break inside the ceiling? It's not like it's currently being moved…
after watching many of your videos and subscribing. what pen do you use to write with in your videos? it writes nicely and your hand-writing is top notch for these videos.
That is one nicely organized fuse box, very neat cable management.
I really don't get the dimming part. Is it just the 0,5s transition?
You sir are the reason I have 7 toolboxes filled with circruitry components and soldering hardware, and also the reason my girlfriend calls me Tazer Boy! Keep up the epic content, you've saved a lot of people a lot of stress, hassle and trouble over the years by making electronics simple, fun and rewarding to learn and understand!
super brother
I think all (dimmable) LED lamps and pc/laptop monitor back-lights should be driven in the same way as the new version. Flickering LED lamps are uncomfortable to the eyes and can be really annoying, especially on lower PWM frequencies.
Oszilloskop für 13.000, jetzt bin ich neidisch ;-). Ich bin am überlegen, ob ich mir eines für 250,- hole, aber wann brauch ich das schon, bin ja eher Software-Entwickler, von Elektronik habe ich nur bisschen Kenntnis, bastle aber gerne mit Raspberry/Arduino….
I wonder how the cable break happened, because the cable wasn't bent back and forth all the time
OK, but why it did not work after 3 swaps?
Using embedded LEDs is a mistake – plug in GU10 is much better – can change failed bulbs cheaply, no risk of the same style going out of fashion, can change colour temperature if you want…
I'm going to guess its that poly film capacitor.
