Comment on Is there any use of an end-of-life LED lightbulb?

Is that LED? It kind of looks like a fluorescent bulb from the photo. I’m not sure if there’s much you can do with fluorescent lamps other than use them up, or how safe trying to disassemble them is. I think the stuff inside them isn’t great.

If it is LED, or you can disassemble it safely, the base might be useful for components, or perhaps so you can run another device off a light fixture if you need to. (Looks like a European connector of some kind? I don’t know if the lights and appliances get the same power where you are, so your mileage may vary there too). I have a few old adaptors I bought at street fairs and junk stores with a light bulb screw on one end and a outlet socket on the other. Sometimes useful when you’re working on old houses with few outlets.

Sorry if that’s not helpful, hopefully someone else will have some ideas.
