How long do the light tubes last? Do they need to be replaced each shoot?

Well, I installed them on a friend's Mark III and she's shot several thousand rounds since. They aren't indestructible but they will last as long and any other part on the gun if you don't use it as hammer

i would say for a long time. but like the add says dont get gun cleaner in the tubes cause it will dull down the tube color.

The light tube last 5 or more years. They do not need to be replaced after each shoot.

As long as you don't hit them on something they should not need to be replaced

No, the entire unit replaces the front site on the pistol. Mine is still on there. Guess you only have the replace it if it wear outs or is damaged like any other sight. You can interchange the tubes for the other colors if you like so I guess it might have an easier chance to be knocked out if abused. I've had no problem with mine but take very good care of my weapon. Hope that helps.

I still have the 10k bulbs that came with it, and 2 zoo med plant bulbs. I've heard that you should replace them every 6 months, and recently noticed that one of my bulbs is getting quite dim. I'm going to personally replace two at a time when they start to go out.

I've been using mine for a year though I don't have them on often. The adhesive for the lights are starting to deteriorate though.

The one I had before lasted over 5 years. I did have to replace the tube as it broke where it connects to the housing. I just ordered a replacement and with a bit of effort was able to fix it myself. And I am not mechanically.

the entire fixture will need to be replaced. LEDs will last longer than any other type of bulb and they do not get hot so they will last a long time...

Maglites have a lifetime guarantee. Just box it up and send it in to them if something goes wrong. If they charge you for a new LED it's worth it. They always send my lights back like brand new. Never cost more than 20 bucks with shipping. You can't beat that what a New Maglite.

I have not had to replace any bulbs. It is my understanding that they last for many, many ours.

After they are lit for the first time they are fragile. They will last a long time but if it gets knocked over or tossed around they will probably break. I bought about a dozen spares after i bought the lantern last summer...haven't needed to replace one yet.

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.

This projector is led based, meaning there is no replacement bulb. The led (light-emitting-diodes) serve as the light engine which is designed to last the life of the projector. According to the manufacturer the leds should last approximately 30,000 hrs. If they fail within the warranty period just replace the projector.

Don't know, I haven't had to replace them. But it's my understanding they last or thousands of hours.

i only had mine for about 6 months, i guess the work till the lights go out. they seem sturdy so i figure a couple of years. i swear by this product. a neighbor still has bugs and i havent seen any in months. well worth buying.

Yes! I don't know their longevity? If it comes time to replace one , I'm sure you will see "tell-tale " signs that it's appearance has changed enough to warrant replacement. I don't use them on a daily basis, just 2-3 times a week. I personally feel they are excellent. Compare them to others, watch " U-Tube", you will get the idea quickly.

Yes and the bulbs cannot be replaced. The lights are supposed to last for 50,000 hours so I don't think you have to worry about bulbs any time soon.

They last as long as any other alkaline bateries I've used. 210 lumens are hard on bateries, I go through about 6 a year.

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.

No, unless you take the unit apart and conduct some DIY soldering and find a matching LED. However, LEDs have a general life expectancy of 50,000 hrs. If you use your lights for 10 hours a day, it should last 13.7 yrs. Of course it can lost longer.
