What kind of light arrangement is this

[Isaac]

This house is a relatively new build and I found this when I tried to change the light bulb so to speak. What are all the different pieces of it and what do they mean? I get the LEDs.

That is an LED fixture. The little yellow-orange rectangles are the active light emitters. From the number of them, that is probably a very bright light. I've go NO IDEA what the other stuff is. Perhaps you have some kind of dimmer switch? Or is the house pre-wired for smart controllers? But there IS a UPC sticker. Perhaps you could get your phone to read that and it would tell you something.

How many Isaac's does it take to change a light bulb?

Perhaps we will never know.

Interesting. I have a new ceiling fan with such a light. Here's a link re replacement light.

A few, that's the way it's looking

Yes it was pretty fascinating to me this whole deal. Thank you for sending that link, so I also noticed something interesting on that Amazon link that said
"We can change the color(3000K-4000K-5000K) by turnning on & off the switch, with memory function, the light will keep the light color if they are lighting for more than 8 seconds."
I wonder if mine has the same function I'm going to try it because I swear that sometimes it looks brighter than other times and I always thought I was just going nuts.

Where is the fixture? Indoors in an inside room? In an inside room but with windows that let in sunlight? Outdoors on a patio? I'm wondering if the lights in question have an "ambient light" sensor to dynamically adjust brightness.

 

[Isaac]

Ooh interesting question and reason - yes, it's actually in an indoor secondary bedroom, a relatively smallish room with one 'standard' sized window only

 

[Isaac]

It is the room from whence I work, sort-of-work, and terrorize AWF with my random questions.

Oh, pshaw! No terror in YOUR questions. We have at least three or four people whose questions are far more likely to get an adverse reaction. Kindness forbids me from naming names, but at least three such persons exist and have posted on this site in the last month.

The plastic lens stays relatively cool to the touch, making bulb changes a breeze. The base however can be very hot

Anyone tried scanning that 2D barcode printed on it? I tried with my mobile app but did not happen.

A friend of mine moved house. He rung me up for something and I noticed that there was a terrible hum on the line. I said that's a terrible mains hum Barry .... Yes, I know he said , I've moved house and this has happened! Don't know what to think?

I said, is the phone on the floor? Why yes it is he said ..

I said are you upstairs? YES! I am... He sounding a little surprised.....

Are you in a room directly over the Kitchen?

There was a short pause as if he was checking the windows to see if I was outside staring in!

I said move the phone over a few feet or put it on the table. He did, and that cured the problem...

This was the era before cell phones ...

Anyone else know what the problem was?
