Why does LED lights do not last 20,000 Hours?

Nov

20

LED lights should last 20,000 hours according to the package but it does not last that long as you know in many cases. Also, LED lights drop not suppose to heat up, but they do. Why?

Well, LED (Light Emitting Diode) does work in DC (Direct Current) but households are running AC (Alternate Current). That means, each LED light build must convert DC to AC. Yes, there is a little AC/DC converter inside each LED light bulb.

That is what is causing the LED lights to heat up. Also, when LED lights go out, it is often AC/DC converters are the one that burnt out not LEDs themselves.

Office Space in Kobe, Japan

Nov

17

I had a chance to look at some office spaces in Kobe, Japan. The office space I looked at goes for about 10,000yen/3.3sqm/month. 3.3sqm is called Tsubo (坪) in Japan and is 35.5832sqf.

So 100sqf = 2.81tsubo = 28,100yen = $255.45

The only unknown at this point is the initial cost. I am waiting for the real estate person I met to send me a proposal. If I can start the development office in Japan to hire software engineers and designers ... that will be golden.

Rumor: Tiger Woods is switching from Nike to TaylorMade ... No, Adidas is not signing Tiger Woods to TaylorMade, Tiger Woods is buying TaylorMade from Adidas. At least he is part of the team who is buying TaylorMade. Wow!

digital zoom

I really do not see the quality improvement on the photo over iPhone 6 Plus. It took good zoom picture up to 2x but after that it is no recommended. So far, i don't see much improvement over 6.

I just got my upgrade, iPhone 7 Plus 128GB.
It took one hour to backup my iPhone 6 Plus (64GB) and now I am restoring it on my new iPhone 7 Plus (128GB). I used iPhone 6 rom 11.11.2014 to 11.15.2016. I liked it. I hope iPhone 7 Plus will serve me as good.

Jet Lag Busting Golf

Nov

15

I played gold with my friends to help me get over my jet lag. It stopped raining just before we started and started to rain right after we finished.

I shot 88 ... It is a better score than I did all summer. I think I play better in the winter.
