Replacing LEDs in strip lights
I use this sort of thing: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/163956674647
When they eventually fail, it's the LEDs that have gone. Isn't it possible to buy a strip of LEDs to slide into it instead of buying a new power supply and chassis aswell? Uneconomical and wasteful of resources. |

By-the-foot LED tape lighting is available - but probably more trouble than it's worth - to try to hack-install it into a fixture. https://www.leevalley.com/en-us/shop...t?item=00U4138 John T. |

If you have a lamp with 100 LEDs and one is preventing the others from working, you replace it. |

Secondly it has power wasting resistors in it. They make all this fuss about saving packaging, not using carrier bags, etc, etc, yet we're throwing out perfectly good fixtures and power supplies. |

There are plenty of led strips on aliexpress sold separately to the power supply. |
