I've seen a very few short circuit Chinese manufactured LEDs in
Chinese assembled equipment. But I'd not be surprised if these
happened to be due t lack or proper handling procedures.
Incidence  is perhaps in the 1:10000 range. May be more and I haven't
seen them before they were caught but probably not.
