Default OT CFLs - retrofitting low ESR capacitors


"kreed"

** FFS - learn how to trim !!

The one advantage they have over incandescents is that they are not
affected by vibration.



** Low voltage incandescents are genuinely not affected.

But most CFLs are easily damaged by it.

After time, the glue fails and the glass tubes or spirals come loose from
the plastic case.

Then with vibration or handling, the feed wires break.

There simply is no quality control and a myriad of things to go wrong.

And the Chinese are making them.
