This is the first time I’ve used the glass substrate version of the LED filament. So it was somewhat disappointing when they arrived loose and all bent in random shapes …
This is the test of a simple power supply for the LED filament lamp. It uses full wave rectification and proper smoothing for flicker-free operation. It’s basically a 100 ohm …
Yet another LED filament lamp to add to the rapidly growing pile of dismembered lamps. This one is an 8 filament version that is the first I’ve had that actually …
A dark, almost circular filament broke away from the sun in a gauzy, feathery swirl, on Nov. 15, 2015, in this video from NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory. This filament eruption …
An interesting new direction for the LED filament lamps. At first I thought these were just using a longer version of the metal filament base, but it’s a completely new …
A shorter version of a full (40 minute!) video that I had trouble uploading. These LED “filaments” are now available loose on ebay, so I decided to get some and …
I have to start by saying that these lamps look fantastic. They are manufactured as if they are glass lamps, but use big long filaments made of strings of LEDs …
Making a huge open filament lamp with a load of the LED filaments just seemed a logical thing to do. So here it is. It uses a smoothed resistive dropper …
You can now support this channel at I had some LED filaments left over from my big open filament lamp project, so I spontaneously decided to make a tubular LED …
