Can you change the batteries? Could you add more powerful LED bulbs? Where are the batteries? What kind of battery? Can you make it blink?

No batteries that I recall; light(s) {three attempts} just never worked; I jimmy-rigged completely different solar led lights. Too bad; customer service was AOK!!!

Yes you can change the batteries thay are in the solar panel, AAA rechargeable , I don't know about the LEDs

Sorry about the issues but I am glad you finally got it going. I see there are several LED light available on the Internet.

This lighthouse comes with a solar panel supplies voltage to four Amber LED lights that gives a warm glow. Two AA 1.2V NiCad rechargeable batteries that recharge by sunlight inside the external solar panel. I suppose you could add brighter LEDs, but it might reduce the time the that they glow in the night. As far as blinking, well you could add a timer module that would blink the output voltage to the LEDs, but again it would limit the time it glows at night.

Sorry, can't help you. Haven't looked into that yet. I've been using mine A LOT since last summer -- about seven months now, of fairly heavy usage, and the bulbs are still as bright as ever. I do look forward to finding out about replacements eventually, though.

The bulb itself can't be changed that I can see. I suspect you would have to buy the light assembly. It is sealed so I don't think bugs can get into it. I haven't had a problem with bugs. Given the life expectancy of LED lights and the amount of time I have the light on in my bedroom, I figure by the time it burns out I will want a new fan anyway. Some LED lights will last 20,000 - 30,000 hours. At an average of 3 hr/day that works out to about 27 years. I'm sure the motor or something else will fail before the light. I do really like the fan/light. I also purchased the wall remote, which is nice too. The bulb itself can't be changed that I can see. I suspect you would have to buy the light assembly.

After you put in a pair of AA batteries, there is a blinking red light on and off every couple of seconds. I don't know whether it is a LED or light bulb.

Yes... You can change battery but eventually the lights will burn out... They are made of hard plastic and can be washed..

I would liken it to a 60 watt bulb when the batteries are fresh. The light intensity goes down as the battery drains.Hope this helps.

Hi,glad to answer.I only see coin size battery already in bottom.Mine ran fast.Maybe something I was doing wrong.Check on replacement bulbs.Luv it.Easy on the A.M. brain.

The light I bought went out after about 10 minutes of use, and it hasnt worked since. The halogen bulbs seem to be very fragile, and I am currently seeking other lighting technology that will be more reliable. Sorry - I dont know whether the bulbs can be replaced or not. I am not going to bother trying.

The fatboy has a 1W led light. With three light brighnesses. There are screws on the base, so I presume the bulb can be changed if required.. But being LED it will have a very long life span..

Mine just arrived. I can't make the light work no matter which way I put the batteries in, nor is there a switch or button to push to turn it on if it did work. What's the story with the "5 LED" light?

I've consulted with an electronics technician. He says a part that controls the power to the LED is the problem, but it'll be tough to identify and replace (and cost more than the light itself). The LED on mine is actually still good (it lights up dimly, same as yours).

They would have to have some type of ballast system to power the light. I would just replace the entire unit. There cheap. Mine seem to last about 3 years but i only run it on the weekends. I want to update to an LED in the future. Good Luck.

Changing LED is not practical. My torches are several seasons old and still going strong. Have replaced batteries once.

There would be no bulbs to replace because the lighting mechanism uses an LED. I don't know if you can replace LED's.

I have no idea how to replace the bulbs. Perhaps you should ask the manufacturer. The longevity of LED's are so long that by the time they burn out, I imagine I will worry about them then and either throw out the lamp if it is unusable or just keep it. The cost is relatively low, so I would certainly consider buying another one of these great lamps. I just LOVE the lamp. Arnie

I have the older version from 2007 & find the batteries last about 2 years. I found I could remove all the screws on the case & unhook the battery pack. I take it to the guys at the "Battery Store" & for $20 they build me a new pack. However I am suspecting that the bulbs are finally getting weaker, as my depression is not responding as well as it used to. I am planning to buy a new unit after 8 life saving years.
