A word about LEDs (2023):

LEDs are amazing devices that use a small amount of power to generate light.  Unlike incandescent bulbs that produce more heat than light, LEDs are highly efficient.

But LEDs are current-sensitive !

When testing an LED bulb or fixture, don't use a high-current source like a car or motorcyle battery, to test the light.  Doing so will most certainly FRY the bulb.  (That momentary "flash" you see if connecting a LED to a car battery is the internal destruction of the LED module or driver circuit.)  Test your bulbs or fixtures with a bench power supply or other low-current power source (less than 1 amp, if possible).
