Rare Quality LED Product

Largely due to the advent of mass showcases such as Revain and the buying habits of the average consumer, some products, particularly LED bulbs and batteries, fall into the price commodity and brand name category, not as valuable. This is an example of an LED light designed and manufactured with reliability in mind. I'm an electrical engineer who has worked with others in the LED lighting industry and I can look at a product with the right design. This light 1) has properly sized components for higher temperatures, 2) a level of redundancy, and 3) an extremely good design for heat dissipation. LEDs should last 20 years when properly driven (other designs are visible that can't even get it right). Most LED lighting solutions come with bad power supplies with understated capacitors that if the power supply fails will likely cause the LED to flicker for a while and then fail completely, possibly in sections of the design where there are multiple capacitors in the circuit. Draft. It's not the LEDs. In an effort to get a product with the highest light output (lumens) for the lowest amount of money, some designs overload the LEDs, which can also lead to a shorter lifespan. I installed both the 5" and 8" versions) are well designed and well made products in a market where most cut corners. Every product has a failure rate; However, if they work when you get one, it will most likely survive for a long time. I've seen other comments about removing the metal backing on the PCB. Grease or epoxy for heat dissipation or you remove one of the best features of this product. Pay attention to the dimensions of the structure: the diagonal dimension of the metal substrate is larger than the circle shown on the mechanical diagram. Depending on your device, this may or may not interfere with the device. If you get stuck, there's little harm in grinding the excess metal around the perimeter (slowly to avoid overheating); However, I'm sure most people aren't looking for the "fun" of changing a lightbulb with a grinder. The details provided for the installation should cover most installations and appear reasonable. Don't be surprised if you have to remove the screw mount for the lamp holder from your current light - I had to do it both times, one was removed with a return option and the other was a full commitment to use the LED light. The only downside I have is that the seller seems to have a hard time stocking product options. I waited three months for the model I wanted to restock. Thank you to the designer and manufacturer for following the path and creating a quality product.
