This project is converting a dead cfl bulb to a led bulb,using some leds (5050 led chips), non-polarized capacitors and polarized capacitors, resistors, cfl base and 4 diodes.
The component value are found in my schematic on the above.

Above are the parts needed from the cut open cfl bulbs.
(cut the bulb at the seam using a hacksaw, don't break the glass part.

Above: Creating the led board by drawing the circuit on it, cover the wanted parts with aluminum tape, then make a solution of 1 part vinegar, and 1 part hydrogen peroxide to etch the circuit. Let the circuit board sit in the solution for 12 hours and the board will be etched out and you can solder the surface mounted led.

| add a plastic container on top the the led to prevent electrocution, when bulb is on |
