Bulbs tubelights fans other electronics all used to work for years with guarantee , then came warranty , and now even no value of warranty, these greedy companies charge so much and make substandard products to last little .
See how smartphones are downgraded in quality and further downgraded in name of updates
Bt, nw, just replace them as prices has reduced.
Purchase LED bulb in bulk during the offer and use them when require.
Availing warranty is really a headache so bulk purchase has no side effect.
Till date, max I have paid Rs.60-65 for Normal bulb (with 2 AA batteries) and Rs.99 for Smart bulb.
very easy, just remove the faulty LED and join it's both points using a soldering iron.
To find a faulty LED, use any Slant Tip Tweezer or one made using any hard metal wire, and touch both sides of LED.
