New type of E27 MCOB Led Bulb

I like the design of these bulbs, but my concern is due to the vented aspect of these dust will build up on the glass plate over time and there is no easy way to clean them. I guess you could blow compressed air into the vents?

You could probably do that, but it might just create ‘dust bunnies’ which would be more aggravating. Maybe spray a little electronics cleaner into the bulb to wet the dust, then blow it out with compressed air? Or, just make sure it is installed inside a fairly closed light fixture.

Cool light!
Big Clive is cool too.

Here’s another one:

So these are not COB but COG, chip on glass.

I like that COG design. Can’t wait till it evolves into nice looking bulbs. Certainly does not need to have the traditional A60 shape anymore.
I have just received a few of the retro filament style WW COB LED inside glass bulb for a fixture I am repurposing. A60 and some ST64 versions in 6W and 8W.
One 6W A60 fizzled when I hit the switch… broke the glass and saved the COB strips. Threw the rest away. Good I ordered an extra.

Nice find, thank you.

I’ve been wondering if the audio stream on these videos could be routed through a Google Voice phone to get a transcript.

Searched for mcob on our forum and found nothing.
Embarassing and scandalous so I changed the titel on this thread.

For those of you in the USA, those new type of bulbs are being sold at Home Depot. They came out on Black Friday. A box of 10 is priced at $19.88.
They didn’t sell, so the price is being reduced. So far I have seen them as low at $15.00. I am thinking they will go even lower.
They are being sold as “rough service bulbs”

Tempting dchomac!

This may push you over the top :wink:
Now they are $15 for the 10

Advertised as bouncy bulbs: World's first (nearly) unbreakable LED light bulb can be dropped off the side of a building and still work

I wonder what “amber” means. Lighting Science used to make “turtle safe” amber LEDs, so they ought to know.

Looks like these ‘filament’ bulbs are all called “amber” — glass enclosure of a LED strip.

Huh, the Home Depot/LSC “durabulb” looks to have the square light source inside.
The “AliExpreess linked earlier in thee thread (”COB) to have emitters on a circular board — anyone know more? THe illustration looks like light is emitted on both sides of the board (the side of the bulb toward the screw threads isn’t shaded)

I wonder when we’ll be able to buy ceilings that light up ….

I don’t need bulbs, I don’t need bulbs… I DON’T NEED BULBS…. {But I can use them if I had them!!! } Grrr… :person_facepalming:

How can you continue to resist?

(even more temptation)


and a second store

If it would make you feel any better, I succumbed and bought 2 buckets. :blush:

Lifetime supply of bulbs for 20 bucks yeah, but on wrong side of atlantic ocean

How about 24 bulbs for $10?

Crazy, isn’t it?

I guess at a buck a bulb, it’s my responsibility to do a tear down.
So here goes.




^ Not a real COB (or COG), but just 4 of those LED filaments stuck on a piece of glass.
