Foxanon - Smart Chip LED Bulbs That Do Not Blink (E27, 69 Leds)

Good day.

Today's review will be devoted to another LED light bulbs that I purchased not so long ago in the vastness of Aliexpress. These bulbs are very similar to those “corn” bulbs that I once surveyed, but they have one significant difference: Chinese drivers with a capacitor in the role of ballast are here, theoretically, absent, and some tricky system is hidden inside the case, which has code designation "Smart IC"

In general, I’ve been trying for a long time to switch the lighting in my apartment to LED bulbs, and if the utility and utility rooms (corridors, bathroom, bathroom, pantry and kitchen) are already over, then living rooms are not so smooth. Most of the bulbs I received did not quite meet my requirements, and therefore I was not in a hurry to put them where my family spends most of their free time. All this time I was trying to find something optimal, I needed bulbs with an angle of illumination close to 360 degrees that would have acceptable brightness, low power consumption, low price and, most importantly, would not negatively affect the eyes of my family members, but there weren’t any suitable options. And so, one fine evening, I found out that the Chinese made a “breakthrough” in lamp-building and invented corn, inside which there was no worthless Chinese driver and capacitor, and in their place came the smart chip Smart IC. It was decided to take. And to take in such quantity to completely replace all the bulbs available in the living room. In general, 10 bulbs were ordered: 9 for use and 1 in reserve. Bulbs with 69 SMD5730 LEDs in each were ordered (the exact same bulb, but of an old type, was installed in my pantry - it flickers terribly and its brightness is akin to a 40W incandescent bulb). The seller was chosen by chance, the bulbs were bought here . The lot was drawn up and paid, a few days later the seller gave me the track and the package began its journey. The movement of the parcel from China to Belarus can be seen here.

All the bulbs came in a regular gray plastic bag. Not the safest packaging, I tell you, especially considering what's inside. But despite this, all the bulbs came intact and intact. They come in pretty nice factory packaging, which is a cardboard box with bright and colorful printing. Old corn was delivered in a white cardboard box on which a sticker could be glued to the maximum indicating what was inside. The live content of the package looks like this:

As you can see, on the box you can see to which group of energy consumption our bulb belongs, as well as its characteristics (what kind of light and how many diodes). Judging by the rest of the pictures, we can conclude that the box is universal: for bulbs with a base E14 and E27.

Inside this colorful box, each of the bulbs was packed in a plastic bag.

Each light bulb has a manufacturer's name - "Foxanon", which is printed on the upper plastic part of the base. In general, there are no complaints about the quality of manufacture of bulbs. Yes, they are a little crooked. But there is nothing particularly criminal (in the one in the photo above, the dome will be snapped from the base, because it seems completely oblique).

At the upper end of the plastic dome are holes designed to remove heat.

The bulb size is the same as in the previous version: 102x30 millimeters.

In principle, in appearance there is nothing more to say. It's time to look inside and find out what is really there and how lively their vaunted Smart IC looks like. If you look at the contents of the ad, then there are several photos showing it to us in all its glory.

It is time to see if this is true. We open the case and observe the following picture:

Of the significant elements, we see the filter capacitor at 105 degrees (which is not shown in the seller’s photo), as well as a diode bridge.

We turn the light bulb and see what has come to the place of the old capacitor:

And where is our smart chip, which the Chinese praise so much? In general, one disorder. Putting the bulb back. It’s time for tests.

We connect the bulb through the "black box":

We get an active power of 5.3 watts. Which is not so bad for a Chinese diode bulb. If you recalculate according to the formula 221 * 0.04 = 8.84. It turns out that this light bulb has 3.5 watts of reactive power, which is used to power second-order elements. For the sake of interest, I connect the exact same light bulb of the old model: We see 3.0 watts of active power. It turns out that the new version, although not the same as the seller described it, is much better than the previous version.

Our light shines like this:

The last thing that remains is to screw the bulb into the chandelier and compare the brightness with the 75-watt incandescent bulbs used in it, and at the same time check whether it blinks or not. Well, check: As you can see, the brightness is a little less. By eye, these bulbs shine like 60-watt incandescent bulbs. 6 bulbs are enough for high-quality lighting of the room with an area of ​​18 squares. As for flickering - it is not there, to be more precise, I could not see it either through the camera of the camera, or through the camera of the smartphone.

All the bulbs have taken their places in the lighting fixtures and so far they are working without any problems. As a conclusion, I can say that the updated version is much better than the old version and the only thing that upsets me is that the filling does not match what the seller promised and I was not able to see Smart IC. So I’m still thinking about what to do with the seller ... In general, I still have conflicting feelings from the purchase, but let's see how these bulbs show themselves during operation, after which it will be possible to draw a more detailed conclusion about their quality.

In principle, that’s all. Thank you for your attention and your time.
