ianaee, but the board from the led bulb looks just as hand soldered as the board from the cfl. I don't think the following argument holds up very well.

"I was quite impressed by the use of connectors in this bulb rather than relying on low-cost-labor for hand-soldering which has been used in the manufacturing of CFLs."



Daniel_Newby provides an alternative explanation: that it's wave soldered.

The Rebel LEDs can't be hand soldered or wave soldered. They are reflow soldered. You can do this with a toaster oven.
