Don&#8217;t hesitate!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Como_reparar_un_foco_LED\">How to Repair an LED Bulb<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83d\udcc5 Materials Needed<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Shovel screwdriver<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pressure pliers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pincers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Soldering iron or hand soldering iron (preferably 40W)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tin for soldering<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>UTP or Plastic Insulated Phone Cable<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fine sandpaper (optional)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83d\udd27 Step-by-step procedure<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Identify the damaged focus<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before disassembling it, check that it doesn&#8217;t really turn on. This confirms that a repair is worth attempting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Disarm the spotlight<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use one of two methods:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Using your fingers and screwdriver:<\/strong>\u00a0Press near the base of the spotlight until you open a slot, then pry the screwdriver off.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>With pressure pliers:<\/strong>\u00a0Place it at the junction of the dome with the base and press lightly until it loosens.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Check for Faulty LEDs<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Visually observe the LEDs looking for black dots. If it&#8217;s not visible, use the insulated wire as a &#8220;bridge&#8221; to test each energized LED (carefully, as there&#8217;s high voltage).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Remove the damaged LED<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Turn off the light bulb from the power. Use tweezers or a pointed tool to break up the damaged LED and remove it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Make the bridge<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Using the hand soldering iron and tin, join the two points where the damaged LED was soldered. This resets the circuit in series or parallel, depending on the design of the bulb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Test the focus<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Carefully re-energize it. If all other LEDs light up correctly, the repair was successful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Reassemble<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Replace the diffuser cap. Since the internal glue has already broken, it can be re-pressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"\ud83c\udf93_Consejos_y_tips\">\ud83c\udf93 Tips &amp; Advice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Safety first:<\/strong>\u00a0Always disconnect before handling. The energized test must be done with extreme care.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong class=\"\">Brand Defective LED:<\/strong>\u00a0If it is not clearly damaged, mark it when it is detected to avoid confusion.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong class=\"\">Durability is not affected:<\/strong>\u00a0LED bulbs with switched sources will not suffer from having a bridged LED, as the current is automatically regulated.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong class=\"\">Check the internal connections:<\/strong>\u00a0Sometimes the fault is not in an LED but in the contact foils inside the bulb. Apply pressure if they are loose.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong class=\"\">Practice with unusable spotlights:<\/strong>\u00a0Before trying one that you really want to repair, try with bulbs that you already consider disposable.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This method is very useful to extend the life of your LED bulbs without spending money on new ones. If you have several damaged, you can repair many in a single session.
