A new age of repair.

The LEDs I ordered to fix this kitchen lamp arrived while we were away so rough as guts Jimmy who is getting more and more hopeless with intricate repair jobs did a quick solder job to patch up this lovely efficient lamp.

Back in the days of inefficient and poor colour temperature Edison type lamps they just became land fill after failure.
I inclined to think the failure was caused by insect ingress rather than as a result of our power company pushing 250+ Volts along our line that is specified to be 230 Volts.
