Oscillator Powering 6 Modified Led bulbs

[magnetman12003]

Hi SkyWatcher 123,

Do you think the boost converter with split positive light and charge method might work with ten 7 watt 12 volt unmodified bulbs in parallel?   I have many 12 volt 1.2 amp hour batteries.  I would only power all the parallel bulbs with 12.31 volts to be on the safe side. Why I am keeping with the unmodified bulbs is because if this pans out no one will modify a light bulb later.  They would rather just be lazy and buy a stock bulb- plug it in for results.  This goes for 120 volt AC led bubs also.

Hi all, Hi magnetman, thanks for the links.
Just thought i would share some interesting observations.
I decided to bring all 12 modified led bulbs up to almost full brightness with the boost converter.
Using an amp meter at input to boost converter, the voltage output was around 58 volts and this gives blazing light in the room.
That is using 22 watts and if they were powered by the ac grid, it would be 66 watts.
If i raise the voltage a little more, the brightness increase is barely noticeable, though the input more than doubles.
So, that is 1.83 watts per bulb at what i would consider at least 90% of full brightness per bulb and raising it further makes little difference anyway.
Seems a rather efficient way to light up a home, though remember, these are modified led bulbs, which helps the efficiency apparently.
peace love light

Hi SkyWatcher 123
When you modify the led bulbs do you discard the frosted plastic dome cover and just use the bulbs light plate?  Specifically what 12 bulbs were modified- Sold by and watt rating for this experiment?

Hi magnetman, this is the closest bulb i can find on the website, though mine are the non-dimmable version.
https://www.meijer.com/product/home-improvement-auto/electrical/light-bulbs/led-bulbs/meijer-led-55w-a19-es-soft-white-40weq/t1/t1-873/t2/t2-10048/t3/t3-1123/t4/t4-2200/70882034106.uts

I don't know if these dimmable ones have the same led board as mine, though if you have a meijer store in your area, you can go and see if they have the non-dimmable ones.
Otherwise, maybe some other equivalent 40 watt led bulbs can be used, though they might have a higher led board forward voltage, though i think your new boost converter can go higher in voltage and that would work.
Yes, i removed the plastic dome on all the led bulbs for more light, just don't look at them or you will be blinded temporarily.

Hi all, just want to share another observation.
I bought a couple 60 watt equivalent GE HD 10.5 watt led bulbs.
I placed those and a couple of 40 watt equivalent 6 watt ecosmart led bulbs into the can light assemblies.
That is using 33 watts input power from ac grid power, no modifications.
The light from those does not compare, maybe half the practical illumination.
Compared to the boost converter driven, 12 modified 5.5 watt led bulbs, that are only using 22 watts input, which light up the whole room, with blazing light.
