The engineering topics you'd need under your belt are: - PWM (changes the intensity of light) - Voltage threshold (voltage drop exists in wires and below a certain threshold, the component stays off) Manipulate voltage threshold as you need with resistors/capacitors and such. At least, that's my humble guess.

At the time it both confounded and pleased me no end. I presumed it was some sort of brown out where the voltage fell low enough as to prevent most things from operating but not completely out. Last night we had another power failure but when I arrived home, both the nightlights were out.

Hey Mehdi, years ago I had the same problem with cheap LED lights from IKEA: If I only disconnected one supply line, they continued to glow dimmed. They were powered by a cheap power supply and I solved the problem with a better power supply. This was a power supply which generates DC without ripple. The cheap power supply from IKEA had a considerable ripple on the DC output voltage. Therefore I suspected the cause in a kind of induction, because it was fixed with a smooth DC voltage. Induction only works with AC voltage as we all know... OK, my LEDs were designed for direct current. Therefore there was certainly no rectifier in it. That is then like a bad rectifier in the cheap LED lamps you tested. Then the ripple of the bad power supply with the direct current LEDS works like the alternating current and the bad rectifier in the AC lights, right? Or to keep the story short: The phenomenon also exists with 5V and ripple on the power supply. Fascinating, isn't it?

One interesting thing is that this half-addresses a question I've had about the commercial incandescent-replacement LED bulbs just like the one you struggled to break into the plastic housing of in this video: when they fail, the first sign is that you turn off the light, and the LEDs flicker for a little while afterwards. Eventually, they flicker when on, then don't turn on. I wonder if this is the control electronics failing in a way that causes shorts across the drain resistors. Is there a way to fix this, or to set up your bulbs so that they don't suffer this?

In Italy there are screwdrivers with a little light in them, which you can use to test live wires for current. If you touch the screwdriver to the wire, and then your thumb to the back of the screwdriver, and there is current in the wire, the light will turn on. Sounds like the same principle as the chinese led light.
@Astrofrank

They are working somehow differently, as no capacitor is involved within the screwdriver. There are two electric components: a neon glow lamp and a high-resistance resistor (sometimes built into the lamp). The resistor limits the current to a harmless level.

Hi sir One thing i like this channel very much because you first demonstrate practically and then theoretically by drawing circuit diagrams and your puns and getting shocked frequently and with standing it like an iron man... And at end of video your voice music is splendid... Another amazing content sir....🙏👍😊

9:02 So that's actually a switching power supply!? Wow!
LEDs sometimes act like a PV panel. When they operate in the reverse they are used a movement sensors and are also producing power. So while they are set up in series and you make a full bridge rectifier using LEDs you increased the chance of the LEDs lighting up without being connected to any power supply.

Thanks for sharing, one quick question. Why some LED 120V lightbulbs mostly used in recessed lighting ( very common in US nowadays) flicker when used with dimmer switches while trying to dim the lights i.e will not dim smoothly either to bright and starts flickering when dimmed but work fine under regular switch. Thanks.
CAPACITANCE in the house wiring it was my mystery too i want to learn more about that sometimes i disconnect everything and i still see the lamp glowing a bit
The day before this video came out: Buy a capasitor on sale! Next day: buy a mehdi on sale!

Nice video!!! I bought a rope light that has the same issue, the thing is that I have the stuff around the whole yard and it never turns completely off.... What resistor would I add to an led strip (the rope light) that's about 150ft long? I'm estimating 800W and on although I use a dimmer to make it not as bright. since it's an LED strip can I just bridge the positive and negative terminals at the end of it? - t glows without the dimmer as well - Thanks so much!

Hi! I am from the Philippines and I have the same problem with some LED Edison/Filament Bulbs that I bought from China 🇨🇳. I tried to google and research for an explanation and stumbled upon Steve's video and then your video and watched it. I have a question though, so if this "glowing" or "partially lit up" LED bulbs continues-- 1.) Would it continue to consume electricity enough to be considered as a "waste"? 2.) Would the life and durability of the Led Bulbs be affected? Thank you so much in advance! 😊😁 (**Btw, my light switch has the small light location indicator. Hence it could probably be a/the reason why the bulbs are still slightly lit.)
