My NanoLeaf NanoLight LED bulb from 2013 finally gave up the ghost: or did it …?
The LEDs glowed for several minutes after removing it from the socket. I suspect capacitance is afoot.
Although it was absurdly expensive ($45 [USD?]; that’s about $62 with inflation) when I got it from the original Kickstarter campaign in 2013, it has been run for several hours a day since then. I always liked the shape of the bulb, with its origami-like folds.
Modern LED bulbs are much cheaper, but this one looks classy. The magic smoke has well and truly gone, and all that’s left is a faint glow and the stench of rancid phenolic.
