First-World Problems...

Starting several years ago I began swapping the halogen landscape lights for LEDs. As the halogens burned out I changed the bulbs and often the slotted covers, which were warped and melted from the heat of the halogens. There were even a few housings that were so beat up that they needed changing.

But...that heat kept the snow from covering the lamps. What a convenient bonus! The LEDs run so much cooler that they get buried quickly...mostly until spring. And because I don't want them sitting in wet snow for a few months, I swapped the covers for solid glass.

Of course no good deed goes unpunished...I now have condensation. Horrid icky vile condensation!

The agony never ends!

10 It's near impossible to keep inground fixtures from problems. We had lighting in the brick sidewalk outside our auditorium/classy entrance to the prep school I labored at for 12 years. Looked great shining on the entrance-when they worked. Thick glass and rubber gaskets, but still condensed water. When it wasn't that, it was water getting into the conduit and shorting things out. A Royal PITA!

19 My FWP is cheap Chinese junk being sold as repair parts. My old Maytag washing machine ran for 20 years on the original clutch. When the spin cycle quit working, I replaced the clutch pack with a repair kit from Amazon. This lasted about a year. The next Amazon replacement also lasted a year.
I have a new repair kit on the way from a different internet supplier, which is supposed to be OEM. I will be annoyed if it turns out to be the same kit as Amazon sells.

Posted by: Idaho Spudboy at September 08, 2024 02:11 PM (4N1cO)

20 I've been through several sets of outdoor, solar LED lights for the deck. They stop charging. So, either the battery is no good or the panel is shot.

And obviously there's no standard battery other than a nominal "AA" size. But it has to match the capacity of the original battery or the panel won't charge it properly.

So they get tossed as the batteries are about as expensive as the lights themselves.

Posted by: Martini Farmer at September 08, 2024 02:11 PM (Q4IgG)

21
I ended up using 15 watt incandescent bulbs in my front walkway and driveway lighting. Enough light to do the job, enough heat to melt the snow, and on a timer to save power.

On the south side probably about 20 solar lamps along the back walkway. They're a bit of a nuisance. Rechargeable batteries dependent on sunshine (amazingly enough) don't always get sunshine or the same amount from location to location. But sometimes they all work and it's kinda impressive for an hour or three.

Same problem with traffic lights - old-style traffic lights were warm enough that they melted the snow on the lights.

LED traffic lights don't do that - so heaters have to be installed to melt the snow.

87 There are ways to prevent condensation, but they require completely different mechanical design. Given a housing buried directly in dirt and a single flat "glass" covering, extra heat is the only option.
You can get that heat by going back to halogen bulbs, but there is another possibility: a resistor across the LED so that the combination uses the same power as the halogen. It's obviously more trouble, but with experimentation, it may be possible to reduce the heat to an optimum level. One definite benefit of this arrangement will be longevity. Of course, you can't just tuck that hot resistor next to the LED, but the MTBF of a resistor and the MTBF of an LED is far longer than any halogen of comparable light output and power consumption.
Oh, sorry, jargon. MTBF = Mean Time Between Failure

Posted by: nurse ratched at September 08, 2024 02:33 PM (igX5u)

I dunno about that, I have been disappointed about surgical glue recently. I cut my hand up changing the motor on a dryer two weeks ago, and the cut on the base of my hand got two stitches and that did well, but the super glue on my ring finger wore off in a day and I spent a week taping it closed so it would heal right.
I guess there is not a lot to do with a deep cut across the side of the finger tip, but I hate having it frown at me when I change the dressing.

107 Same problem with traffic lights. But, the cities have come up with a solution. Send government workers around to clean off the lenses every time is snows.
Posted by: No Name Today

They have heated traffic light hoods now, too! That solves the problem by using the electricity the LED bulb saves to melt the snow.

And adds an additional manufacturing cost and a few more points of failure (the heater itself, plus the thermal and humidity sensors that tell the heater when to run). The government/industry/lobbying complex sees those as features, not bugs.
