Many reviews say the LED indicator lights fail after weeks or even days. Could it be used anyways? Or is it dependent on the indication lights?

You can still use it, but I hear Vizio fixed that problem. My Ex has the 2013 model and so far she is loving it.

No it can still be used. Mine went out after a few days but it didn't bother me much b/c must of the settings i wanted were already set and didn't need to.

Yes It can be used if the LED lights go out.I have purchased two refurbished units online from WalMart. One had no problems, the other LED stopped working after about three months. Vizio does NOT warranty refurbished units. I had purchased the WalMart extended warranty on both so they replaced the unit that lost the LED lights. However, I was able to use the system even thought the lights did not work.

Well, an LED light is low drain anyway. I know that my battery lasts a very , very long time but then again ,I don't use mine for long periods of time. As for showing proof,,,,,,, I guess I could show you a movie of the light being on for days but I won't do that. That seems like too much fun.

I cant answer the replacement question but I can attest to the reliability of the lights. We have several sets under the kitchen cabinets and they have been burning 24/7 for over a year and not one of the leds have failed. they do plug into a harness so if one did fail you can just swap it out. I bought several sets and I have 2 lights left for just that purpose (spare replacement) hope that helps

It went away after about a week. Tried LED's but they didn't work. Tech said only the kind that came with it would work.

Hi Montana, does the LED light work now? If the light works well, the device should be OK. Is there any Warnings or notes popped up on your screen? You could go to www.supereyes.cc to download software.

If the led isn't turning on I would try new batteries if that don't work, I would return it for a new one. Wish I was of more help, my lights worked for about 3 months and now they pi nly work sometimes. Good luck.

I can only can give my opinion but, in any past experience I have had regarding LED displays like this is not good. Generally, you would have to replace The whole display module.... But I might be wrong. :0/

yes, but we have found these lights to be pretty unreliable...the power supplies fail frequently. We probably change out either the LED module or power supply driver every 6-8 months. When they work they look great.

I tried as well. The answer is NOPE. You MUST have your reciept to use the warrenty if you make a claim. I had the power supply side go out after less that one year. The would not send me a new one because I did not think to save my invoice. The LED should not burn out. Your power unit might be the culprit, but it is hard to tell unless you have 2 units. (which I do)....or at least used to.

This is a very good question that should be answered by an electronics engineer with experience with LED lights. Maybe Amazon can provide?

I wouldn't call it a long time. I've had one in the kitchen over a year now and can recall only one time that the leds took about 5 seconds to fire up, more often it's 2 or three seconds and most often it's less than a second. I understand you should size the driver to the job - capable of a little over what's needed. Amazon isn't reminding me the watt rating of this unit but I have about 33 watts worth of led draw on it. IIRC this thing is rated 40 watts. I guess something undesirable would happen if I used a 100 watt driver, like maybe longer delay... or worse?

No way to tell. If there are no mechanical failures, the LEDs should work for at least 50 years! Nothing to wear out.

I was going to put it in but held off when I made a trip to bowling Green. I've too have heard about cruise not working but will find out shortly when I put it in and experiment. It would be a lot cleaner on wire leading to turn signals not having resistors for my switchbacks. I have been selling led lights to several forums and locally to many people for about 3 years. I am one of maybe 2 in the US to carry the new Cree/driver headlights and can't keep them in stock they sell so fast. I am DFWWIZ on TBSSowners and GMTNation forums.

You don't. The LEDs should last a minimum of 5 years. I it doesn't, send it back!

I would ask the seller. These are LED lights so they can't just be replaced. If its new the unit may be bad. Sorry

I have called LED Wolesalers and talked to the guy's there, They are very helpful. Any question that you have they can answer.

I've installed several of these with mixed results...Most have failed completely, and I've tried to return two each that have never been opened without any results...There are better products available for less money...!!!Try Amazon #B004X4O1NG - EVER RF Dimmer of LED Strips, LED Ribbon, LED Lights, Wireless ControlThese are the best buy and I've experienced no failures and in power outages they return to whatever state they were in prior top the outage.Good luck
