Why should I buy an LED light with a 1000 hour lifetime and no warranty? Does this really have that short a life time (most LEDs are &gt;20,000)?

You are probably looking at price and nothing else. This thing does not work.

It is a non user serviceable sealed assembly. The LEDs should last 10's of thousands of hours. However if one goes out then 3 will because there are 4 x parallel series of 3 LEDs. If one series of LEDs goes out the odds are the problem is the driver circuit not the LED itself, so you would either accept that it became a ~ 15W light that's a little dimmer or buy a new one.

The LED bulb is claimed to have 20,000 hours life span. I have used for two years and it still works fine. There is bulb sold on Ebay and 12 are sold, so I guess some one did need to replace them.

That would be a question for the manufacturer. That's a lot of playing! This is what their website says:All our LED lamps come with the LEDs pre-installed in the lamp shade. The LEDs will work for up to 50,000 hours with our unmatched manufacturer's 2-year warranty. This means that if you use your lamp 5 hours a day, then the LEDs should last 10,000 days or more. We will replace the LED component for you during the warranty period if it does go out. However, if the LEDs need to be replaced after the warranty period, we do sell replacement LED components for $15-$25 each, depending upon your model. That would be a question for the manufacturer.

The information on the LED bulbs says they last for many years, something like 20 years if left on 6 hours a day. I will be dead by then. Sure, whenever theynburn out you would just unscrew and replace like any other bulb. The ones I have give a light like daylight and are great. I am so pleased with them.

Make sure it is the exact same light. I have another light that looks just like this one but is a different model and has a weak beam. The light must be an "Extreme Bright" Ultra Bright Zoomable LED Bicycle Light. If you can get it for $4 with the correct holder you are doing great. I don't know how the warranty works? I never worry about warranties. If it is a quality product a warranty is a non issue. Hope this helps.

I believe it comes with a 1 year warranty limited to factory defect... 30,000 life hours is a helluva long time- especially given its limited usage! I'm not deeding this light to my kids though, and it works great for my liking... If I get a few years out of it I'll be happy!

I have had mine running for around a year almost constantly. LED's are rated for anywhere between 2,000 and 20,000 hours. So to answer your question, a long time!

Does not appear to be replaceable very easily. But this shouldn't be a problem because when I look at other LED lamp descriptions on the Net, the ones that give a lifetime spec generally say they're rated for 20,000-50,000 hours of usage.

Theoretically, leds should last for years regardless of operation hours. If they fail from defect, it is usually right away. That said, voltage spike or damp will shorten average lifespan.

It's hard to predict the future, of course, but LEDs are expected to outlast incandescents and fluorescents, so they should last many years, even at 12 hrs per day. Certainly long enough that the technology and prices may be significantly different by then.

Sorry, can't remember if it came with a warranty. Had ours for a year; no problems. LEDs should last a long time.

No way to tell. If there are no mechanical failures, the LEDs should work for at least 50 years! Nothing to wear out.

You don't. The LEDs should last a minimum of 5 years. I it doesn't, send it back!

I don't know about the warranty, but I did buy these lights to put on our deck. Replacing the none LED lights.They have been up about 6 weeks, love the soft light, if they will last 6 months, that will be "great". I have used lights on this area for years, and I am hoping the LED light will last longer,, than the cheaper ones I have used in past.

It's based on 3/hrs of day of use, which is 1,095 hours/year, or about 22.83 years. As with any product, using it more or less frequently will extend/reduce the life.In my own case, I've used three of these for more than 3 hours a day for 2.5 years or so, and have not had any issues so far.Also, the lifetime quoted assumes you follow the directions (i.e., don't install this in a *fully* enclosed fixture as the heat buildup will rapidly degrade the LED).

10 Years That is the Life of the battery but how long it lasts being Used I do not Know. The LED Light is supposed to last for 2400 Hrs.
