How long will the light last? Are there replacements or do I have to buy the whole light again?

It's rated at 50,000 hours. If on for 16 hours a day, that is 8½ years. I don't believe that. I'd figure 2-3 years.

They say 50,000 hours, which if you burn it an average of 18 hours a day, 365 days a year, it will work for ~7.6 years. There are no replacement bulbs that i have seen.

Theoretically it should last forever, however depends upon the quality of the LED's themselves. The Apollo arrived with one light half out already rofl!

50,000 hours.... WELL WORTH IT as your plants will love it far beyond just a hid or t-5 etc (I would NOT use it alone unless your doing one plant...) And NO you can not change bulbs etc.. when its done its done... Its a TRADE OFF off being able to replace a bulb for BETTER growth! LEDS RULE YOU WILL never want to go back when you use it! I wont! I am already looking into a BIG ONE ie a REAL DEAL non ufo (PRICEY ONE) leds work that good!THAT GOOD...

The lights are rated for 50,000 hours of use, or over 5 and a half years. The entire light would have to be replaced at that time unfortunately.

The leds will last year's and years before going out.. if your crafty new leds can be soldered in place, other than that for the price u can throw away and buy new..lol.. I run alot of these units. I haven't had any led go out yet.. and the plants love the spectrums... hope this helps..

50,000 hours (over 5 years of continuous use) according to the manufacturer. No replacement parts. Have had similar led lights working 24 hours a day for 2+ years with no issues.

Should last years if climate is good. Don't want to run over 88 degrees or like 65% humidity. Never had a problem with leds at all so idk how these work probably need to replace whole unit. Others like growblu or advanced led can replace single pods. These are cheaper then others but definitely work well.

I would start with Amazon. I had an issue with mine in less than a year after purchasing. Amazon sent a prepaid return label and replaced the light.

It wouldn't be advised to try. The plastic around bulb could crack, they are pretty cheap in that aspect. Replacing the light itself is probably a better option.

There is no bulb replacement for this lamp. The bulb has a 40,000 hour rating, which should be good for several (approximately 20) years of service, even at 8 hours per day. Unless you have a bad bulb, the cost of the lamp should be just over a dollar per year. Even at half that rated bulb life, it's still a very inexpensive item. The cost of a replacement bulb could easily exceed the price of this entire lamp. It is just as likely that the switch or the power supply will go bad before the bulb's life is ended. That's my opinion.

Is it a matter of replacing a battery or bulb? Otherwise, I think you'll have to call the company. I cannot find my stick right at this moment (I have a couple of different ones) and so I can't check if it's even possible to replace those parts. I imagine the company would replace the whole stick for you - if the light just doesn't work.

I also need a replacement diffuser, as the break easily when changing the light. Customer service for GE/Jasco said they cannot provide replacement parts, which is bad news for consumers and the environment as the only solution seems to be to buy a whole new fixture.

They have a replacement light on Amazon...Marineland LED Aquarium Light. I have had to purchase two already. I find that if you keep it from getting wet, ie: put clear cellophane between it and the top of the aquarium then it does last. The second one I purchased is doing fine since it has not been getting wet.

Actually, I don't think you can replace the bulbs. LEDs are usually good for about 25,000 hours. That's about 20 years. What did you have in mind. I don't know about you but I'll be ready for a new technology magnifying glass way before that. Batteries will be your issue depending on how much you use it not the LEDs. You need a really small Phillips screwdriver to replace them and it takes three. The cover is real bitch to get off. You need a really small Flathead screwdriver to pry it off. Thank God the screw is held in place in the cover or you would probably loos it. A small screwdriver set & a couple of rounds of changing batteries and it's no big deal.

I'm sure the company has replacements. However, I personally do not like that lamp as it is too small to use and leaks. I like the large V&O; lamps that are painted green. I think they are about 18" tall and run a long time on oil.

They are a sealed unit. you cannot replace a bulb they have 104 leds and are a half inch thick. Somewhere I read they are supposed to last 30,000 hours. May be able to get more info from led wholesalers.

Not sure. Haven't had to replace mine yet. I would guess a lighting showroom or supply place.

Use the light for a while, Web search the manufacturer. Most are glad to sell more components. After three uses, mine is left out of the way because of the weak magnet and clumsy handling. If I could find the spare I got with mine, I'd give it to you...not convenient

mine did not come with a replacement bulb. It does not work/function very well either, very temperamental. If you don't hold it just right, the light flickers on and off. We don't use it very often because of this. Good luck

Nope. Mine burned out and there is no replacement. None. Nada. Zilch. Zero. I would not buy this light. The center light is an incandescent but there is a problem there also. A regular bulb is to long so it exposes the bulb below the shade forcing you to tip the light up so it does not shine in your eyes. Altogether it is a very poor design or one that forces you to get replacements from the company but I never found the replacements anywhere.

I thought the light would last for years, but the first one last a week. The second one burned up in 3 weeks. The third one did burn put the bulb. I assume it is possible; however, there is so much plastic in these lights that it would be very difficult to replace a bulb without breaking something. When mine burned out, I finally punted and replaced the entire fixture. I bought a much better quality at Home depot. Good luck!

They would have to have some type of ballast system to power the light. I would just replace the entire unit. There cheap. Mine seem to last about 3 years but i only run it on the weekends. I want to update to an LED in the future. Good Luck.
