- It's incredible how much electronics can be crammed into the base of a "filament style" Smart bulb! After setting-up this nedis WiFi bulb, I dismantle it, to reveal the secrets it contains within. I attempt to reverse engineer it, and explain it with a schematic!

Very nice well done ,That's a lot of stuff to fit in the base of a led bulb
Impressive
nice! never seen the inside of a WiFi bulb. I was not sure that it will work after the teardown - great work. Thanks.
That was a bit deja vu just like watching Big Clive haha but a nice video thanks
One tip, put the grease back on, the buck and dual channel linear PWM control can get hot, and the grease needs to contact the aluminum case. If you want longer bulb life. Regards, good video.
I did forget to put the thermal paste back 🤣. And I only realised after glueing the base back on😮💨. Mabe I won't run the lamp on full brightness, to help prolong it's life. I know the linear regulator chip automatically ramps down, to compensate for overtemperature. So it's brightness will drop if it gets to hot. I don't think the buck regulator is doing much work, It's just supplying 3.3v to the WiFi module🤔. Hopefully it will be ok.
Good video , interesting to see how they do it . Nice to know that PTFE can be used like that. On that subject. Although I'm an electrician I once worked in a factory making heat exchangers. The foreman wasn't the brightest but would never let himself down by saying he didn't know something . When asked what PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) stands for he would reply " Plumbers Tape Federation of England" 😁
My father-in-law wanted lighting inside his built-in barbecue. We didn't have any heat resistant cable at hand. So we stripped back some of the insulation of regular cable, and generously wrapped the individual conductors with PTFE tape. Then we twisted all the conductors together and wrap the whole lot with copious amounts of PTFE tape. I terminated the DIY cable into a ceramic lamp holder with a regular incandescent light bulb. The flames from the barbecue, have been licking over the light bulb and cable for years now without problems. It's amazing what you can do with "Plumbers Type For Engineers"
@@MyProjectBoxChannel 😀I would have over engineered the hell out of that using SWA or Pyro . Nice tip
@@mrflibble5311 I love pyro (mineral insulated cable). It's kind of dying out nowadays. I don't know how many of the young guys can do it anymore.
@@MyProjectBoxChannel I'm in my mid fifties and I don't think I've seen Pyro being installed here in about 20 years. I once saw a building after a fire and all that was still standing was the Pyro. I don't think the young lads wouldn't know it at all . I'd reckon they don't teach it anymore.
That's a lot of stuff to fit in the base of a led bulb. Thanks for showing us. I was waiting for you to wound yourself whilst peeling back the metal. I usually manage that when attacking led bulbs!
Interesting how the string of LEDs attempts to recreate the look of the old filament bulbs.
Very nice well done, I wonder what the life is of the LEDs being high voltage?
There should only be about 3v or so, across the individual LEDs inside the filament. There are many of them connected in series(80+) so they divide the voltage across them. If the current passing through them is kept at a sufficiently low level, they should last a long time.
@@MyProjectBoxChannel You are probably correct, with the PWM they will not be driven too hard, another good video, thanks Bob
💔 "Promosm"!!!
I don't know what you mean! I bought this bulb in the supermarket with my own money. No sponsorship or paid promotion.
