Introduction

Use this guide to repair a fused bulb by easily replacing a fused LED with a new LED and completing the closed circuit through which the current flows again and lights the bulb.

What you need

Step 1

              Fused LED Light
  • Remove the upper semi-sphere diffuser by twisting or applying some heat with a heat gun or dryer to soften the adhesive.

Step 2

  • Use a battery or a cell with connecting wires and apply them to the exposed solder ends on each LED.
  • The LED which doesn’t lights up is detected as the faulty LED.

The LED which doesn’t lights up is detected as the faulty LED.

Step 3

  • Using a knife or screwdriver, remove the faulty LED.
  • We need to replace it with a similar LED or a resistor.
  • Connecting the terminals directly can result in an increased current and multiple LED failure.

Step 4

  • Using the soldering iron solder an LED or a 100Ω (2W or 5W) resistor into the faulty LED space.

Step 5

  • Connect the bulb to a power source to detect if it’s working.

Step 6

  • Finally, twist the light-diffusing dome back on the light bulb.
