I recently purchased some led light bulbs and I noticed something strange about them...particularly that they have a small pinhole on the face of the bulb, What are the chances this is a microphone or camera? They were made in china.

Literally zero. Thats an index for the the PCB to seat properly on the aluminum disc heat sink under it.

What the fuck are they going to do, stick a 4g chip into every bulb and connect to some Chinese cell towers that they magically erected all over the US?
>led
>light bulbs
Pick one

I like this explanation better than a camera or mic,

I was thinking more like an RF carrier or something

If you look through this guy's channel here: https://www.youtube.com/user/electronupdate/videos
you can see he tears down tons of various LED bulbs to show all of their components, and performance characteristics. The flat circuit board seated atop a little disc is a pretty common configuration.

>using pieces of shit like incandescent bulbs that use a brazillion watts or using meem shit like CFLs that die after 2 weeks

How do you think leds are made? They put several leds mixed until they make baby leds. That led looks like it's going to grow out just fine.

Look, another moron.

>mfw I could run both my desktop and my server, or an entire 2.25 incandescent bulbs
Brah, stop being a fucking retard. Thanks.

Thanks for the channel I couldn't find my specific off-brand but it does seem a common configuration except on the other bulbs I can't see anything similar to what is on my bulb

I think me meant LED=/= light bulbs.

>take LED
>add diffuser
>suddenly light bulb
Given that he posted some grandpa, which doesn't even fucking make sense since incandescents are grandpa-tier, he obviously meant that light bulbs made using superior LED technology are somehow inferior to the shitty alternatives.
this thread is turning into a led vs edison debate

>LED=/= light bulbs
wut? Are people not aware that LED lightbulbs exist?
>>51269589
And anybody arguing in favour of Edison is just incorrect.
