Whats wrong with my lightbulbs

In the saga of my beleaguered light bulbs, I've found myself knee-deep in electrical components and a fair bit of frustration. Of the four LED bulbs I invested in, only one survives unscathed, while another's flickering demise is imminent. My investigation revealed overheating bases, resilient capacitors, and an interesting LED filament setup. Ultimately, it seems one LED strip in the bulbs went open circuit, setting off a cascading failure. It's been a journey through minor electrical engineering heartbreak, with some messy disassembly and a sprinkle of high voltage excitement!
