I've had a quick look and even that has shown me the shortcomings of the commercial designs which are lasting less time than incandescent lamps. I tested 2 failed items the 240 Vac driver is dead (possibly at the zener feeding the output transistor). I have felt for some time that for most domestic (and commercial lighting)applications Low voltage is past its prime and it is time to migrate to Extra low voltage if renewables and efficiency / product life are going to move forward.

But you don't want to deliver low voltage as the cost of transportation goes through the roof even though the end point is efficient

But with that said then each node becomes complex and adds failure modes.
So you don't get to the 15 year payback point of these overly priced solutions.

So all the enthusiasm is misplaced and consumers will learn and not adopt.
Even if you fix it later. people do not generally update their perceptions.
