Work's LED panels are dying

Put anything here that's badly designed/made, failed, catastrophically exploded or just an epic fail in a general sort of way.

Work's LED panels are dying

Postby HIDLamp » Wed Jan 17, 2018 10:31 pm

FYI one of the LED panels in the suspended ceiling at work is going EOL. 1/4 of it is out completely and when it is cold the remaing working bits shimmer at about 30Hz for about 20mins untill it's warmed up. Even then it's illumination hasained a rather wavy effect across it's surface ;eoled

Good! Hopefully they'll all fail and then they'll really see they should have kept the fluorescents

Well, if all the LED panels die, buying a couple of boxes of tubes is a MUCH cheaper solution than buying a load more LED panels! They'll likely last longer too!

It's the same here, everyone's been brainwashed into LED LED LED and nothing else. Cos of course, every time you fit a fluorescent or discharge light, a polar bear dies.....
