    00:32 The LED light is obviously watercooled so that it can be brighter without overheating. To save on shipping the bulb gathers the cooling liquid out of the atmosphere.
    If it breaks it's like Apple usually says: It's not that the product is broken, but you have been using it the wrong way.

    Proof of point: My grandfather has a GE lightbulb that looks like one giant circular heat sink.

Seriously, it’s hanging out of the ceiling on hot spaghetti and looks fine for brightness.

    It is infuriating! When LED lights for home application came around I was delighted, only to discover that the concept of planned obsolescence was still in effect.

    This makes me think of LED Christmas lights. They work well for a while but after some time the bulbs go dim. I did some digging one day out of curiosity and noticed a resistor installed in parallel with the lights to prevent the bulbs from completely dying when the resistor fails. In my case I suppose the resistor failed leading to a higher current draw through the resistor but not high enough to trip any breakers, kill any lights, or melt the transistor.

    When I buy Phillips or other brands, they always die very shortly, and get replaced with the cheap ones.

    I purchased 20 x 4' LED fluorescent light fitting substitutes for my home. after 6 months one failed. I took it back under warranty and they replaced it. then 3-4 others began to fail. I became tired of driving to the store and pulled a unit apart for an autopsy. In each there was 4 x SMD resistors that had fried. I pulled a part a working unit to see what they should have been. and checked them on my infrared camera. They were 20K, rated to only 80mw, but through poor design they were dissipating 300mw, sitting at about 70º C. Meaning that they would slowly cook and either burn out or de-solder themselves. I replaced them with 22K 1/2W regular pigtail resistors and they never failed again. When the unmodified lamps subsequently failed I could repair them and restore them to the ceiling in one third of the time it would take for me to go to the store with the receipt and haggle for a replacement. Total replacement parts cost? < 20 cents

      Basically yeah. Engineers would love to make stuff that lasts as long as possible. But first the marketing guys come in and say "you have to make the product sexier, it doesn't matter if it isn't as good as long as it looks better than competing products!" So you lose some functionality and durability due to that. The the bean counters come in and say "these products must fail after the warranty period expires so that people buy more products!" And so you get these shitty products that might look nice but are generally just bad. It's not because the company couldn't have made a better product, it's because they don't want to. That's how you get stuff like Apple laptops that fail after a year or two due to some really dodgy design "features" that basically guarantee those laptops don't last that long. And LED lights that fail after a 1000 hours instead of 30 000 hours they could last if they were made better.
