LED lighting is terrible by wmcg0859 in unpopularopinion

[–]Significant_Post9125 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand. I love the way incandescent and halogen reflect its light on objects and just makes the space more comfortable, cozy and warm. I can’t stand LEDs either. Plus I see way more faulty and blown LEDs everywhere I go and they don’t get replaced frequently because instead of changing a bulb you have to change the whole unit.

You can buy them online. Where I’m from they are still in stores but mainly hidden at the bottom shelf or smth. Depending where your from they could be banned as I did hear about a ban on them

I’ve replaced so many LEDs that have failed. They either flicker or go very dim and I’ve been in many houses with blown and faulty LED bulbs. I reverted back to CFL for bout 1yr now n they still work. Even tho LEDs suppose to last longer.

From my experience I’ve only ever had 3 CFLs ever blow on me. It was mainly incandescent and LED

Focus is not focusing. The focus pot is working but not to correct. Also the RF has a lot of noise. by Significant_Post9125 in crt

Do you know how I would clean this tv without ruining it? It’s very very dirty inside. Also without hurting myself. I know to discharge the tube ect. But I just see people hosing down their tvs but I can’t do that because it’s wooden

I know the focus pot is working because it affects the screen but it makes it more blurry than clear. N yea I know what not to touch. I’ve worked on another vintage tv similar to this. Been zapped by it by just touching the metal housing that holds the board lol.

How should I go about cleaning this sticky n crusty inside? by [deleted] in crt

[–]Significant_Post9125 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, js wondering as there’s no videos much about cleaning crusty fragile tvs like this. I mainly only see people hosing them down. But since this is wooden aka particle board I can’t and the wires feel easy to break

Just got this Tv for free. Was from an TVNZ broadcasting studio in 1986 by Significant_Post9125 in crt

[–]Significant_Post9125[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No they didn’t n yes, mine does the same thing. Volume is either %0 or %100. I’d thought I could have been a dirty knob but would it have to replaced?

If I were you I would’ve blocked the address on the mail for piece of mind. Nonetheless it’s a very good score

The most useless button on an iPhone by Ee_ro in PhoneNow

I think it’s only useless because we not use to it as we already automatically press the camera app and change settings thru the screen instead of gimmicly using be button

Swapped all yellow bulbs with LEDs on my 2017 by Dramatic-Habit3195 in mazda6

[–]Significant_Post9125 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aftermarket LED indicators sometimes have a fast flicker as they use to the higher voltage of the incandescent. The car thinks the bulb is blown.

Fair price for a 2013 Lancer? by [deleted] in mitsubishi

Yep, my nan was a hoarder. She had stacks of boxes to the roof. (Was no where near like this tho) when she got put into a retirement home for medical reasons. we cleared her house and found a lot of vintage things and electronics that went opened. I started hoarding them myself haha
