if light burns out does entire unit have to be replaced

If it's a burnt out bulb...I'm thinking the bulb just needs to be replaced. If something goes wrong with the lamp fixture/ wiring then assume repair or replacement of unit would be required.

No, this has a normal light socket that will take any type of bulb. I have interior flood lights in mine. It can be wired to run the fan and light separately from two separate switches, or together on one switch, also.

After it is installed, all you see is the canned light look, which then just talks a regular bulb screwed into a socket.

No, the unit doesn't have to be replaced, simply replace the light bulb. In fact, the unit doesn't come with a light bulb, you can get the one that is specified at Home Depot.

I'm not sure, our light bulb hasn't burned out yet. I would think that shouldn't be a problem, bulbs are interchangeable. It works really well.

I small round one, says to take to dealer to replace. Sorry so late, just got out of the hospital. It's running fine on solar power and light bulb power (sitting under the lamp).

You cannot! When the unit fails, you toss it. These are disposable like printers. It does not pay to fix them. The lamp is all sealed, nothing to service. The reasoning behind this is that LED's last a few thousand hours and should give you about 3-5 years of service with normal use.

I'm uncertain about a replacement. It might be less expensive to replace the entire unit. Although, if you go to the company website they may offer one.

It is a sealed unit. Bulb replacement would require breaking the housing. I would not/did not go that route. I replaced the whole unit. Cheers

We just replaced our lamp and it's up and working great. We did receive warning before and if you order it now then you can wait to replace it until you need to. We had one blow out and it does take a while to get replacement in the mail. Simple to replace.

Fixture itself is hard wired. If you have the same model that you are replacing the internal assembly should be able to be used and plugged in.

Not Necessarily, the unit has green lights one for each phase. When the green lights go out or red then it is compromised and needs replaced.

One of my two original units burnt out within a year and the manufacturer would not replace it. LED bulbs are not covered. Had to buy a new one......urg

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.

When the unit doesn't light up, the problem is usually due to a bad driver, which may be replaced. If the LEDs happen to fail, then the entire unit would need to be replaced.

Yes. It's okay to replace only the panel, if the panel shorted out like ours did. It was easy, just plug in and play. Our replacement panel was carefully packed, and shipped quickly. It works great! :)

No! bulb has a large ballast, and reducing the electricity to the Bulb will cause it to burn out early.

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

Sorry, I haven't had to replace anything on this fixture. If you could write directly to the manufacturer, it might solve your dilemma.

I didn't see anything about replacing the light in the documentation I kept. When my lamp burns out I'll contact the manufacturer, Conoco, to determine what is needed.

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