Electricians...LED bulbs not working...

Replacing a row of vanity light bulbs that have burned out over the years with LED bulbs.
LED's won't come on in the fixture. Fixture has juice and LED's work in regular light sockets. Any ideas?

Did you try regular bulbs in other sockets, to verify that it's not actually the fixture giving trouble?

The 80’s were awesome

Might be bad sockets.

Women love those bars for some reason.

I had a similar thing happen in my great room. My problem was the set of electronic 3 way dimmers needed a certain amount of current draw to work. It was a 8 bulb chandelier and if I put 2 regular bulbs in it the other 6 LED bulbs would light up without them they would not.

Those are pretty standard for contractor grade single family homes. They are hideous, but common.

One of my LED bulbs went out after a few months and there was liquid inside the bulb.

I'm not an electrician, but I am a glass guy. In addition to a shitty light box, it looks like you need a new mirror, too.

Yellow bug light in a bathroom. Interesting choice.

Also not an electrician, and I'm also here to provide no help and insult the décor in your home.

Yup. That's all I had on hand. NO dimmer. Regular switch.

That vanity strip does not appear to be LED friendly.

although it's nice that you have crown moulding in the bathroom, it looks like your trailer isn't level and it's causing that gap between the molding and ceiling....may want to renail and caulk

you're supposed to unscrew the cap and drain the storage fluid before installing.
