   That's true, and I had my first LED bulb go bad about a month ago.  Some   
   nice LEDs to play with, I cut the bulb part off, it was plastic, but   
   haven't gotten to the circuit board.   
      
   Though I recall reading somewhere someone posting about repairing either   
   CFL bulbs or LED bulbs by changing some capacitors.  I guess the trick   
   there is to get the casing open in a way that you can put it back   
   together, not unlike all the ac adapters floating around that have aren't   
   meant to be opened.
