It's never too late. If you're 110 you might not make it to graduation though.

I'm sorry but that's utter horseshit. I don't know where you heard that from but it really sounds like manufacturer propaganda. The driver circuitry won't fail unless it's also cheaply made and consequently running far hotter than it would if made correctly. They definitely did not spend money on a failure study to redesign the led part to match failure rates. They just did the cheapest thing possible that made light without exploding or (usually) melting.

There are multiple LEDs in the bulb and they're overdriven, meaning they're designed to fail. They can be modified to put out dimmer light that will last a very long time but that's not something most people know how to or will do. Failed ones like you describe are usually repairable also but same issue that most don't know how to or won't.

They fail like that because one element dies entirely which messes up the circuit. If the dead one is bypassed with a small resistor the others will light back up.

Yep.

That isn't what I was referring to about nature though.

Hydrazine exposure can cause skin irritation/contact dermatitis and burning, irritation to the eyes/nose/throat, nausea/vomiting, shortness of breath, pulmonary edema, headache, dizziness, central nervous system depression, lethargy, temporary blindness, seizures and coma. Exposure can also cause organ damage to the liver, kidneys and central nervous system.

But a higher cost to produce at volume.

If you mean corn ethanol it doesn't have the same kick.

We should just make everyone use hydrazine and let nature do its thing. 😆

Why would you ever turn that on? In any form it's ugly as fuck and frankly embarrassing that a whole ass group of developers has gone this long without seeing grass much less touching it.
