has anyone replaced the LED? Mine quit, but still the best light I ever had.

Haven't replaced the LED yet but if I remember correctly the instructions that came with it has a step by step instruction sheet.

I've had no LED (or other) problems with 4 Coast flashlights I've had over the last 2 years. Are you using the reular alkaline battery or the higher voltage rechargeable lithium ion battery?

I have not ever needed to replace a LED on my HP7, however it is only a few months old. I have had other Coast lights that I use for my work on board a marine vessel for the past few years and they have all been great.

The bulbs in mine quit working fairly reg. I sent a set back because the light went out within a week, they really need to improve the setup...The last few times the bulb quit I was able to get it working again by clearing the contact points (screw heads ) where the top connects to the bottom. I loosened the small Phillip's screws and retightened them on the wire then I used a tooth pick in the bulb holder to bend the contact points away from the side so it would contact the bulb. So far this has fixed mine the last 3 times they quit. As far as a bulb the only thing I found that MIGHT work is they sell a replacement lcd bulb for the old 3v MINI- MAG flashlights I found one a Lowes $5 for (2) but I haven't tried one yet..It is nice to have the Lights working I hope Hobbs fixes the poor workmanship of the lights I really like the salt & pepper set.

Sorry, I don't know. In researching microscopes recently I first learned that LED's are not necessarily standardized and may be proprietary. Thus, it would probably be wise (for both of us) to request the specification for the LED's used in the fixture. In fact, I'm going examine mine to see if the lights are even replaceable. It might be one of those disposable objects.

I don't think so, I am having the same problem with my light. I know it won't be long I will have to change the battery because of it. I just hope its not dead when I get ready to use it.

I have owned mine since the beginning of November 2014, and by the middle of December 2014, the light burned out. It also won't hold a charge. Without being able to replace the bulb and/or the batteries, I wish I'd purchased a different model. If the light lasted and the charge held, this would be 100% Awesome!!! (BIG IF)

Sounds like a defect, I would contact somebody and get a new one. Hopefully they'll take care of you because this is a great light. I ordered mine months ago and carry it with me everywhere and it works like a champ! I haven't had to change the batteries yet either!

No. It mentions on the package that the LED never needs to be replaced. Usually, LED lifetimes are rated in thousand of hours of operation. LEDs are not like light bulbs where they burn out or fail because the bulb got bumped and the filament broke.

Hi Milton, LED lighting can be replaced when sent to the repair center. It isn't user replacable. -Vincent

The lamp does not come with any replacement leds. If it is still under warranty then you should contact the manufacturer.

I just bought them a few weeks ago. I understand they have a 5 year warranty. Sounds like the LED burned out, I would request for a replacement.

I'll assume it's over the whole thing. Since judging from the number of hours of the light operation. But again it's just an assumption. BTW, mine works great, I haven't had any problems with its and was surprised at how bright it gets.

Unfortunately I have not had any luck getting support for mine. Mine won't charge to the point the led comes on. Initially I got an email from them which I responded to but then nothing.Point being I'm not very confident customer support or customer service will be able to help you.

It's not likely the LED will go out. If it dies it will be the whole unit, music + lights.When the whole unit dies, just email warranty.service@musiclites.com and explain what happened and they will RMA it.

Try googling for a "LED driver", rated for the correct wattage... Maybe if you take out the stock one you can match it up. If your under warranty contact the seller and get a replacement (2 yrs I believe).

The LED bulb in mine lasted about 4 hours. It just went dead; the switch is ok; tried new batteries, no use. Dorcy has no replacement parts for it.

Hi Tim, sending it to the repair center is the option to replace the LED bulb. -Vincent

Actually, I don't think you can replace the bulbs. LEDs are usually good for about 25,000 hours. That's about 20 years. What did you have in mind. I don't know about you but I'll be ready for a new technology magnifying glass way before that. Batteries will be your issue depending on how much you use it not the LEDs. You need a really small Phillips screwdriver to replace them and it takes three. The cover is real bitch to get off. You need a really small Flathead screwdriver to pry it off. Thank God the screw is held in place in the cover or you would probably loos it. A small screwdriver set & a couple of rounds of changing batteries and it's no big deal.
