[WhatDoYouThink!]

This method only applicable for 1 damaged light. For more than 1, it won't work.

This method only applicable for 1 damaged light. For more than 1, it won't work.

It will work if it is not a driver failure. 

But every LED (pair) bypassed, it will drop the power by 1W.
For constant current LED driver, it will adjust its voltage down to a lower wattage. However such driver has a minimum output voltage, so this method will fail if the voltage cannot be dropped to the desired value, thereby burning the remaining LEDs (one by one as one continues to do the soldering bypass).

I have never tried on LED bulbs though as mine are cheap low wattage 3-5W bulbs, so not worthwhile to do so.

If one has a soldering iron, I think the bypass soldering method is still worth the effort for the more expensive flat panel LED lights.
Just need less than 1-2 minute to solder. 
The spoilt (burnt out) LED should have a pale black dot in it.
