Daffodil LEC200 LED failures

Great little keyboard lamp... BUT in less than 6 weeks 5 of the 22 LED light are dead, with another one very dim.  If LEDs are supposed to last 50,000 hours, then this little lamp was made with very inferior materials.  Mfg has 1 year warranty, Amazon has only a 30 day warranty.  If you buy one, make sure you check it for LED failures:  Return it promptly!!!  Made in the UK,[...]  Come on Brits, make it right will you please? ///

I purchased 3 of these LED bulbs from Amazon in March 2015.  I immediately installed them in partially enclosed outside light fixtures and turned them on all night, every night.  The first two failed within a week of each other in October 2015 and the third failed two weeks ago.  Given that the bulbs have an advertised life expectancy of 50,000 hours and two of them only lasted 2,500 hours and the third only lasted 3,200 hours I was VERY disappointed.  Perhaps these bulbs cannot go in outside fixtures, or perhaps they cannot point down (which is the normal position for outside lights, but the opposite of an indoor fixture).  In any event here is no warning on the box indicating that outside fixtures or upside down lighting are inappropriate.  I don't know, maybe I just got a defective batch.  In any event, I won't be buying these LED's for my outside lights again!!

*****UPDATE*****  We contacted the seller via the 800 number on the original box.  After some discussion they agreed to issue a replacement or a refund.  Based on our experience and the experiences of others related in these reviews, we took the refund!  Nevertheless, I am changing my original rating from one star to three---they at least made good with us on their mistake.

I bought 5 of these 13 months ago.  I was really pleased with the light that they put out, but 2 of the 5 failed in the last week, and a third is starting to show the same symptoms.  The power supply circuit in the base of the bulb fails causing them to start to blink and flicker intermittently.  These bulbs were used in a track-lighting system in the kitchen, probably on for an average of 3-4 hours a day.  So while the LEDs themselves may be good for the stated "20,000 hours" it turns out the unit as a whole lasts maybe 1500 hours before it fails.  Buyer beware.

Put these on the shelf after purchasing in Sept. One string works, the other doesn't out of the box. Faulty 'custo-fab' LED controller.

Replaced 10 50W halogen in 2 fixtures in June, 4 failures in November.  So much for "extremely long life".

Some of the LED lights do not work right out of the box.  Returning this item.

LED works fine but it looks like the internal electronics are shot and now it flickers on and off two times per second. In service about 6 months. I emailed the seller but never got a reply.

I have only had these lights for 2 months and they are on approx 4 hours per day. Just yesterday, 2 bulbs went out. I tried swapping them with working bulbs to make sure it wasn't the light fixture and the working bulb lit up in that fixture so I know the fixture is OK. I don't know if there is any warranty on these but 2 months seems like a short lifespan for an LED. Otherwise I'm pleased with the light output and the fact that they don't produce any heat.

Worked great (very bright, very low current drain) ... BUT, not for long.

I purchased this LED bulb replacement for use in a Porter Cable PC18FL 18 volt work light that is notorious for requiring too frequent incandescent bulb replacements. I've used several other LED lights/flashlights. I've never needed to replace the LED. One such light I've had for about 20 years with many battery replacements, but never a needed LED replacement.

The initial HQRP LED failed after 10-15 hours use. I would expect that much time or more from the regular incandescent bulb.

HQRP was very prompt and eager to make things right by immediately sending me a replacement and a prepaid label to use for returning the defective LED.

Unfortunately,the HQRP LED replacement also failed in about the same time period as the initial LED I received from them.

Until this time I was reluctant to believe the reviews that spoke of similar problems.

I notified HQRP to get another replacement LED hoping the third time would be the charm and this one would last the thousands of hours it should. Instead, they immediately posted a refund of the full amount of my cost, including shipping.

I looked for other LED's but found a good price on 6 regular bulbs and now the PC light is working again as it should.

I am a little bewildered by this experience. I ignored the bad reviews I read before ordering this LED thinking it was almost impossible to have numerous failures in short time frames with an LED. I suspect the problem is not in the LED itself but the circuitry or connections that transmit the 18 V DC power to the LED.

Whatever the problem is, HQRP needs to fix it and step up their quality control rather than disappoint more hopeful customers such as myself.

I sincerely hope they do as there is a real need for this type of product that should last for years rather than a few hours.

They are awesome when they work. However, I had no luck with two different pairs. I was using these as switchback DRLs but the white LEDs stopped working on one of the bulbs in both sets within a 2 days of installation. They smelled burnt when I took them out and one of the bulbs was actually melted on the inside. These bulbs were supplied 12-14v power straight from the battery via a relay so it looks like these aren't designed to stay on for long periods of time.

One failed after six months, I emailed the seller and they sent a replacement. Then the other one failed a month later. When failing they turn on but are only on the dimmest setting. The failure may have been caused by the incandescent-type dimmer switch I am using. I changed the bulbs to LED but did not switch to an LED dimmer as I believe is recommended.

I swapped these in over the stove to replace the halogens that were there. The halogens used a lot more power and generated a ton of heat, enough to discolor the wiring to them. These use much less power, you can still dim them and they are safe to the touch.

I'm giving this a two star review for now, but I may change that later: It works perfectly until the LEDs fail. For me, this was 3 months into owning it, and it's extremely inconvenient to not visually know which efx loops are active. I'm currently having it replaced, as I purchased an Asurion protection plan at the same time. If my first one was a lemon, my review will increase to five stars.

I can clearly see the individual LEDs inside most of the bulb. Its extremely noticeable. Out of the 10+ brands/models of LED bulbs in our home these are the first to have this problem.

This is a substantial defect so I am assuming my batch might just be bad. Either way - ugh!

I bought two of these, one works sometimes and the other never, as far as the LED lighting. It would be a great product and was when it worked. I wish this company would exchange the two I got for 2 new ones that work correctly and I would many more if those worked correctly???

I like the lights but had 2 bulbs out right out of the box. Thought LED was good for 50K hours. Update...now 3 bulbs have failed. Getting less please by the moment.
