What are the items that needs to be "replaced" and how often? For example how long do the light bulbs last? How long do the pods and nutrients last?

Everything lasts about 6 months. The manufacturer states that you will get the best growth out of your plants if you replace the lights after 6 months. I know many people that use them longer, but you might see slow growth or leggy plants. The bottle of nutrients that comes with the aerogarden will last 6 months, then you will need to purchase more. The herb kit should keep producing for 6 months as well. I have seen a few gardens with herbs still growing after a year, but the production seems to slow after 6 months. Then, you can either buy another kit, or save your pods and grow domes, purchase some new grow sponges, and buy your own seed. This is a lot cheaper, but doesn't have the growth guarantee of the aerogarden kit. By the way, Aerogarden customer service is amazing should you encounter any problems.

I have not had to replace the light bulbs yet Ryan. To be honest I don't use my lights everyday either. I use them about once a week and for a couple of hours each time. I would look at the vendor's website to get replacement bulbs and compare then to any you may find on amazon as well for the best price. The bulbs I think have a really long life depending on how often you are going to use them.

According to the information with the lamp, the bulbs are suppose to last a 100,000 hours. One site I searched did mention replacement LED bulbs. The lamp has only been in the house three weeks, and it has been great. Other reviews that I read also gave it high complements. I do not know for sure that the bulbs are replaceable; however, if the bulbs last for 100,000 hours replacement should not be in the picture. Hope this helps!

Thanks for your prompt reply - I actually already own this item! After years of use, the bulb has burned out and I'm tying to determine if it can be replaced. I'm disappointed with the short lifespan of the item, but I wasn't necessarily disappointed with the performance. With the proper room placement, focus of the lens, and assurance that there was no light polution, the item performed quite well. Until it died, of course!

yes, Jose, it comes w/ bulbs, they last about a year, constant use. I veg in my garden 24 hrs. a day and probably get a little longer use from bulbs than people that veg 18 hrs. a day,(constant firing up and turning off the bulbs every day will make them burn out quicker, and after a point you are just wasting electricity on weak light from "worn out" bulbs. ) In other words keep your bulbs changed out!............................................peace , george

It has a set of 4 LED's with a life expectancy of many thousand hours,and as such are not replaceable. One or more of the other operating parts or features of the light will most likely cause the unit to need replacement long before the LED's cause any problems.

LEDs should be good for 100,000 hours of use. If you left the lamp on continuously (which you won't), that's over 11 years. By then, I doubt you will be looking for replacement LEDs for this (by then) obsolete lamp.

Mine has lasted six months so far. I really doubt that you can replace the bulbs, you would have to get the right leds and then you would have to solder them onto the board.

Yes and the bulbs cannot be replaced. The lights are supposed to last for 50,000 hours so I don't think you have to worry about bulbs any time soon.

The lights are LED so they do not need replacing. LED's have 100,000 hours rating, so @ 4 hrs per day, that would be 68 years to replace. I think there will be better lights by then.

Amazon sells the replacement bulbs. The bulbs last quite a while. I keep my lamps on for up to 12 hours a day and haven't had to replace a bulb yet in the 6 months that I have been using them.

From what I understand the bulbs are led so it will take many many years to burn out - if they do. At that time you replace the entire lamp unit.

My impression is that the LED lights last a very long time and won't need to be replaced, but I don't know if they are replaceable.

I thought the light would last for years, but the first one last a week. The second one burned up in 3 weeks. The third one did burn put the bulb. I assume it is possible; however, there is so much plastic in these lights that it would be very difficult to replace a bulb without breaking something. When mine burned out, I finally punted and replaced the entire fixture. I bought a much better quality at Home depot. Good luck!

Hi there. If you're handy with tools, you MIGHT be able to replace it, assuming you could find the same 5-watt LED part. But it's not designed to be replaced. However, not to worry! Unless there are manufacturing defects, you should get many, many thousands (25,000 - 30,000) of hours of use from this bulb - LEDs for all practical purposes last "forever" and don't need changing due to burning out like regular incandescent and flourescent bulbs. By the time this would wear out, in 15-20 years for most people, LED lamps will be dirt cheap and universal so replacement of the whole fixture would be the way to go. In short - don't worry about it! It may, however, have manufacturing defects - but that's what warranties are for.

As long as the lights are working on it, it shouldn't need replacing. We kept our last ones for years. Just replaced them for updated ones.
