Twelve years ago I rebuilt a gooseneck lamp to carry a surplus LED head:
One of its three LEDs just failed:
Given that I very deliberately glued the whole thing together in the sure knowledge “the lamp should outlast me” and much later built the other LED head into a desk lamp, well, it’s like that and that’s the way it is.
The Sherline will be just a little bit dimmer in all those photos …

You know what they say — the LED’s probably fine; it’s just the circuitry that broke. ;-P
IF the driver consists of a bridge rectifier and a series resistor, then it compensated by making the two remaining LEDS brighter!
