    Followed the instructions here with some minor changes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2e1SUQNMrgY


    - Removed the LED board by using a long screwdriver and pushing down from the small end of the bulb. Trying to pry from the top will just break the plastic.
    - No need to desolder the chip, you can get to the pins from the back.
    - Did not have to use a separate power supply, 3.3v from the serial worked fine.
    - Had to invert the Warm/Cool LED pins,

    You were very lucky that the programming pads were accessible just by a fraction of the board. It really makes the job easier, but I still really like desoldering WB2L just like on the video you linked.

    Now you can buy multiple those bulbs and use them in, for example, DGR:

    Anyway, thank you for posting the guide! I have slightly modified your topic, but in general, it's informative and helpful. Feel free to post any other device teardowns you can.

    Do you know if it's possible to make the bulbs brighter? I think that the bulbs were much brighter when they had the original Tuya firmware.

    Yes, it is possible to make this kind of bulb brighter, you need to adjust the current limit of BP5758D. This can be done via console command, namely BP5758D_Current
    Screenshot of documentation regarding the BP5758D_Current command and its function.
    However, following command must be used with extreme caution because you may overcurrent your LEDs. That may damage them or at least shorten their lifespan significantly.

    Sorry to bother again, but is there a command to get the default current value? Just trying to see where it starts out at.

    Hello @andy212332 ,
    if you look at our driver source code, here:
    https://github.com/openshwprojects/OpenBK7231T_App/blob/main/src/driver/drv_bp5758d.c
    You can see that default values are:
    Code: C / C++
    Log in, to see the code

    Which are resolved to:
    Code: C / C++
    Log in, to see the code

    Futhermore, when decoding user-given current value to BP's internal one, we are using the following formula:
    Code: C / C++
    Log in, to see the code

    I hope that answers your question. If not, let me know how can I help you futher.

    Thanks, "BP5758D_Current 40 40" seems to be around the same brightness as what it originally had.

    Very well. You can now use that setting to regain full brightness.

    On a side note, I would also recommend looking into the PowerSave 1 command, which may slightly reduce the heating and the power consumption of the WiFi module .
