I cannot find a replacement bulb for this flashlight. Does "Lifetime High Flux LED" and "5 hour continuous use" mean "the end" when the light quits?

LED bulbs are a new generation of light bulbs do not think of them like the old light bulbs with burned filaments. LED flashlight bulbs in general should last several years (thousands of hours) and are not meant to be replaced. The thinking is that there will be newer technology light sources in the next several years that you would not want to replace the bulb (think VHS tapes). This flashlight should last you several years without replacing the bulb and is meant to be thrown away when done. By then the new laser light sabers will take its place. If yours does not work after replacing the batteries then it is defective or the batteries are in backwards and not seated properly.

I'm sorry but I cannot answer this question for sure. We no longer have the packaging that it came inBut I am thinking that once the LED goes out, it's done. Maybe that is why they are fairly inexpensive.

Since this light uses an LED bulb you can expect 5 hours out of the 4 AA batteries it takes to power it. The bulb itself will give you 100,000 hours or about 10 years of use out of it just keep enough batteries on hand and you'll be fine

You have given me valuable info .Might be a reason not to but another Dorcey if there are no light replacements .Not a good sign.I will try looking into this. seaBee

The LED bulb in mine lasted about 4 hours. It just went dead; the switch is ok; tried new batteries, no use. Dorcy has no replacement parts for it.

Have not as yet developed the problem. Wish I could be of more help . Is there any ad for new bulbs?

that is a good question- If my light goes out, I hope I have a replacement. Sorry

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 do not know how long it would last, however we had a power outage of 1 hour and 15 min a few weeks ago and was during the day. The flashlight comes on automatable but our hallway is dark and the night light stays on. I pushed the button to turn off the flashlight and left the night light on. After one hour and the 15 minute outage the nightlight was just as bright as when it first blacked out. In one hour there should be plenty of time to get some lights going (flashlights etc.). With the lamps being LED I am convinced there will be plenty of time on the battery. Hope that helped, I'm sold on it.

that's a good question - I don't know the answer but Contour says the life of the bulb is around 20 years but even then it has a lifetime warranty - I think the bulb will out last me :o} - I see LED light bulbs rated at 10,000 to 100,000 hours -- I really like mine and seems very well engineered

it fit mine however it uses so little voltage that we did not know two of the batteries went bad about 45 days later and the leaking battery got swollen and ruined the flashlight. If you use it pull the batteries out every 30 days faithfully and check them. We lost several other LED lights the same way. Cost us more to replace the flashlights than we saved in batteries.

I have owned mine since the beginning of November 2014, and by the middle of December 2014, the light burned out. It also won't hold a charge. Without being able to replace the bulb and/or the batteries, I wish I'd purchased a different model. If the light lasted and the charge held, this would be 100% Awesome!!! (BIG IF)

They purport to last 2000 hours. This current bulb has lasted a little over 1200 hours so far and it's in really good condition. Are you getting the "Replace Lamp" warning?

I'm kind of having the same issue. The new batteries I have put in, die fast. I have been using regular store bought batteries. I know there are higher power batteries sold at places like Batteries Plus, that are specifically designed for high lumen flashlights. Might be worth looking into if you want to have optimum performance from your flashlight. I recently ordered a Zebralight SC52. Waiting on it now, but also ordered a $10 high powered AA battery to use in it. It was a battery they sell, and recommend. If you still don't have good light after trying these batteries, I would send it back, or try an exchange, because these Nebo Redlines are pretty cool. Good Luck. Hope I helped in some way.

If it's the same flashlight I reviewed, I recommend that you contact the manufacturer. Here's their information: BrightMedic, 1704-B Llano Street, #219, Santa Fe, NM 87505. Also, their web site is: http://www.brightmedic.com. Hope this helps.

Not sure of the total hours of use but I do know that I've replaced ever one of my sure fire bulb with one of Cree high lumens bulb and will never go back to surefire. For the price just buy a few of them.

I have never had a light bulb go bad.There is also a 24 month warrantywith the E01 although I am not surehow this would be executed. The bulbIs integral to the head of the flashlight and would require factory replacementthrough warranty. Bulb replacement isa non-issue in my view.

There is no replacement bulb. The leds are permanently built in. There will however last an extremely long time

Has anyone every used an led or florescent to their "life expectancy". I'm guessing about 3% of the real world.I've had many, Many incandescents outlast the previously mentioned. Thanks China

my reply is I need to get one also but 42 W 4-quad bulb since I zapped mine with electro static discharge last night.the company you deal with should be able to give you the right replacement for the number you give him. look around if amazon can't help go to Full spectrum or a store near you that sells different type of bulbs.even Amazon should have replacement book to look it up.

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.

Its a LED bulb that will last hundreds of hours - there is a super tiny screw at the base where the light bulb housed, but I would guess from looking at it the answer is no. I love mine!

I would guess you just got a defective battery. My experience has been fantastic. I use it almost every night. The beam is brighter than any comparable flashlight I've ever owned. I haven't ever had any problem with the battery holding a charge, and it lasts for a long time. Did you charge it fully before use? You should have. Also, the instructions say to plug it back into the charger after every use. I do this even if I only use it for two or three minutes. Unless you've had it a long time, Black and Decker is pretty good about standing behind their warranties. I'd give them a call.
