My First local Lazada.sg shopping experience

I was in need of some LED light replacement, as the one installed in my Kitchen was dead.

I described the situation in the post : https://peakd.com/diy/@sinlg/dead-led-ceiling-light-during-covid-lockdown

In that post, I attached these photos :

Over time, the lights dont even start up for all the individual LEDS.. my kitchen was in darkness.

Because of the COVID19 lockdown, most of the shops were closed and I was unable to get a replacement.. I finally found the exact model in Lazada by

I have no choice- so I ordered immediately on 15 June 2020. The system told me to expect deliver on 25 or 26th... .. I may have to look for alternative.. but thank god it cam on 18 June, 3 days in..

but to my surprise, the Diatomaceous Earth which I ordered on 17th June.. arrived together with the Lights.. a one day turn around.. fantastic.

So when I returned home today to see the packages... I was delighted

I've opened up the plastic piece covering the "Power circuit" and most the components are surface mounted on the same plates as the LED... except for a few bigger components like capacitor and resistor. I tried to look for visible damage of the components but I cant see any.. there are two tiny chips that are also surface mounted. Could be voltage regulators... so small components ... may not withstand high heat dissipation over long periods of time... which may explain the short lifespan.

If this new set doesnt last at least a year, I may have to look for alternative brands with bigger power drivers.
