Any concern about leaving these on 24/7? As in lifetime of the LEDs, or more importantly, fire hazard if left on when away from home?

I leave the LED's on all night and there is no heat from the bulbs. They are supposed to last 22 years at 4 hours a day

I don't leave them on 24/7 or while I am away but the don't seem to get warm or hot to the touch.

I do not see any fire hazard issue, as they do not get very hot and the electricity to power is low voltage. Each uses only 3 watts and the power supply is only 12 watts. If you leave them on, of course it will reduce lifetime, but they are LED so they are also prone to long life.

I don't think so...they are LED's and therefore not consumer replaceable...However, LED's usually last ...nearly forever!

You can run 'em 24/7 if you need to. They get warm, but not hot. I'm guessing a bigger issue is that they (intentionally) put in some UV LEDs to simulate sunlight, so you may want to have UV absorbing glasses when working around the light.

I kept them on 24/7 as part as a door decoration, and the batteries lasted about a week. They were cheaper batteries though. But I would imagine you might need to replace them once or twice to last all season. Beautiful lights though!!

I would say "no." They are a bulb-iin-socket type of lamp and rely on a clean, unexposed connection. They aren't terribly rugged, their advantage over standard incandescents is the lack of fragile filaments, but they still have tiny wires that connect all of the led chips together. Keep them clean and dry!

These are LED's, they are non-replaceable. Their lifespan would possibly outlast your home and they also use much less energy. The LED's featured are really bright. This model provides 3 settings of brightness that can be set via remote.

It's an LED on a circuit board, thus not practical for replacement by the average person, even though its accessible. I'm presuming the life of the unit would be something like 20000 hours (2.25 years continuous), based on other LED bulbs, but that's just an educated guess.

I have had mine running for around a year almost constantly. LED's are rated for anywhere between 2,000 and 20,000 hours. So to answer your question, a long time!

Yes, I do feel safe leaving said product on will not at home. As a design engineer of switch mode power supplies there not much to the circuit that that can lead to a hazardous condition, but they can fail. The fixture is all metal and certified by ETL. ETL is like UL or CSA. Use it safely and you should not have a problem.

I don't see why that would be a problem. They aren't like florescent bulbs that need to stay warm or take forever to warm up if they're cold. LED's don't care much about ambient temperature.

They are LED so they should lasts for around 50,000 hours on. I have had them for 3 years. I have 12 lighs throughout my home. I have had 1 go bad in that time. The whole thing (light and speaker) went bad.

mine have been in service for years with no problems. i have this in a walkway brick light, some of which fill with water and sand covering the led, and i just clean them off. couldnt be happier!

I personally habe no problem with mine so far.usually, Leds do last over 10 years but cheap components makes problems especially when it's connected without ground wire.

I purchased 10 3-packs for my home about 6-months ago. The majority of mine are located in enclosed fixtures. 6 have already failed. Finding LEDs that truly work in enclosed fixtures at the brightness you want, and the color you want can be quite challenging! I have other brands/models in my house as well, but none with a failure rate close to these.

I am using them as back up lights. There are 5 1.5w plasma LEDs there is an heat sink on the case. They should be fine in continuous use. I have seen them in H3 fog-light form. I would get two sets if you need a pair. Sometimes one of the elements will flicker. I would get 4 keep the best 2 and return the second set. They are all made in china and the quality is inconsistent. This gives off the best 360 light and runs cooler than all the others I have tried.....DO-NOT use the 5w cree's in continuous operation.

I have left mine overnight and did not notice any problem. I think it would be best, however, to remove them promptly after they are fully charged.

I have just cause I had them from another light that I killed and it didn't seem to make a difference. I keep 18650s in mine just because of how much I use it around the house. Just bear in mind that it is NOT 1000 lumen by a longshot.
