Seconded, however:

if you go to Technology Connections YT channel, we are not responsible ~~if~~ when you find yourself watching a 6 hour play list on light bulbs

Or even worse, six hours of video making LED christmas lights look like the incandescent light from 30 years ago.

At least that particular quest is finally at an end

Yes, hopefully. For his own sanity. Someone finally made commercially available LED bulbs the way he was trying to DIY it.

But they were a tad pricey…
