Does the bulb need to be replaced ever?

According to the label on the lamp, its life span is 40,000 hrs, that gives you about 4.5 years if you leave it on 24/7.So...no, you don't need to replace the bulb, you just have to get a new lamp after 40k hrs.

There are 27 LED bulbs in this light. Although no light bulb, LED or otherwise, will last forever, high quality LED's have been proven to last hundreds of times longer than conventional incandescent or fluorescent bulbs. I don't believe that any individual LED in this light can be replaced. The website lists the light to last 45,000 hours. That means if you turned on the light and forgot about it, as long as there was power to the light you could return in 150 years and the light would still be on. I'm not sure how they tested this, but that is their claim... I have replaced all of my desk lamps, at home, school, and work, with this lamp and have been VERY satisfied with it for 3 years and counting There are 27 LED bulbs in this light.

I've had this lamp on for hundreds of hours and have yet to see any issues with bulbs.

I do not believe the bulb is user "changeable". We have not had it long enough to know how long it will last.

Nothing lasts forever. LEDs eventually die but quality ones last a very long time. If you want replaceable LEDs, then get a normal fixture and use LED bulbs that screw into a normal socket. There are a ton of them on the market and you get control over the bulbs/color/brightness/etc.

Bit over five years is the expected life. Than you replace the "bulbs" by throwing the entire thing out and replacing it. I haven't found an LED lamp yet that has replaceable LEDs. I am looking at lamps that use incandescent or halogen so I can put in a LED bulb and replace that when needed. Or one of the broad spectrum lights with replaceable bulbs. I love some of the LED lamps. Nice looking, last a fairly long time, and put out nice light. But I do not want to toss the whole thing out in a couple of years.

I have had mine setup for maybe a month and had one of the bulbs go already - was easy to replace. The wires are in the way but just move them aside and screw in the bulb like normal.

Yes. You can replace just the bulb. See videos on youtube of how it is done.

I have not had to replace any of the bulbs. I should think an electrical/lighting supply house can provide new bulbs. That said, it has been my experience, each time a lamp goes out it is the result of a wire shorting to ground. The wires are routed from the electrical driver to the bulb through the bulb mounting plate. The holes are very small. It seems these wires are particularly vulnerable to chafing and abrasion.

quite often the bulb is the problem. having said that, i have had to replace the complete unit before because the transformer was going bad.

Hmmm, good question. I haven't had to replace the bulb. So, I don't really know.

As long as the lights are working on it, it shouldn't need replacing. We kept our last ones for years. Just replaced them for updated ones.

Does anyone know if the bulb in this set is replaceable by the owner, or is service needed? Thanks.

I'm not sure what the cost of a replacement bulb will be, but the item comes with a bulb installed and has never been used. The item is in the original, sealed manufacturer's packaging.

No, the bulbs are not replaceable. When they burn out, you have to replace the whole thing.

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

They are supposed to never need replacing, run for hundreds of hours. there is not one bulb but four groups of 3 small led lights surrounnding the magnifying lens. I use mine every day , and have had no problems.

I've had mine for 6-8 months and have had no problems so far. I use it just about every week. I haven't even had to change a light bulb yet. It is just for my personal use and sometimes my daughters.

I've had mine over a year now, and have not had to change it, but I don't imagine it will be too hard when the time comes. Just spring for a CFL or LED light bulb and you will be ready to change the fixture before the bulb goes out.

all the bulb parts, cord, control board, and bulb are replaced as a unit, can not replace just the bulb. mine has been on for 8 months. amazon

I am sorry I cannot answer your Question. Since the bulb went out, I have not replaced it.

I have used my flashlight for years now and have never had to replace the bulb. it is probably cheaper to buy a new flashlight, walmart sells the for $9.98 at our store, amazon wants 27.00 for the same item.
