We installed them right after Christmas last year and they all look good as new today (10 months later).

Well, after a month but not using it every night...it's still on the original set. Since the lights are LEDs, it should go for a very long time.

They can last anywhere from 1-2 yrs before you have to replace them. It is easy to change the battery and it uses 1 AAA rechargeable battery. You can order the AAA batteries on line if you can not find them in stores where solar lights are sold.

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.

These bulbs seem to last a long time. We've used 2 of these bulbs in the last 6 months in our kitchen fixture and we leave that light on for 8 hours every night. We were gone on vacation for 5 days and the lights were still working after being on constantly day and night.

I have not used for long period. But, I hope them to last very long. Originally, installed bulbs worked for about 10 years as under cabinet lighting.

No, unless you take the unit apart and conduct some DIY soldering and find a matching LED. However, LEDs have a general life expectancy of 50,000 hrs. If you use your lights for 10 hours a day, it should last 13.7 yrs. Of course it can lost longer.

The leds will last year's and years before going out.. if your crafty new leds can be soldered in place, other than that for the price u can throw away and buy new..lol.. I run alot of these units. I haven't had any led go out yet.. and the plants love the spectrums... hope this helps..

Are you asking whether they fade with age, or whether you can put them on a dimmer circuit? They are supposed to last a long time: "50,000 hours". That's almost six years, full time. If you mean on a dimmer circuit, I don't know, and can't easily try. But they may work well. They don't cost much, so give them a try.

From my experience with these lights, the bulbs last a long time. Possibly years. During that time, the price has dropped considerably. I have no regards. I've cut my electric bill considerably. Prices have come down 75% since I bought these lights. At today's prices, I'd probably replace the whole light. We have four of these units, with multi lights and nothing has burned out. I originally had your same concerns, but after almost 2 years, I can say, I'm happy. I hope you find this answer helpful.

I really don't understand the question on what you guys are trying to ask but to be honest you the light should last longer than 12 months specially for the dollar amount that I paid for them

Mine lasted about five years, but they went bad because I accidentally stepped on the wire and pulled really hard, if you take good care of them they should last at least ten years imo.

not long. leds are supposed high efficiency but batteries were dead too soon. i guess i´ll have to buy rechargeable batteries.nonetheless, the lights are very useful and very practical

I believe they are 5 years. My cousin has had his for 6 and it is still running. I love mine as you feel cheery with them like your in the sun. We get a lot of snow and sunshine but I work in my office at home so this helps keep me smiling when it is dark in the mornings. I have one in my main living room and kitchen as well. So instead of 12 lights I have three running. I also use this in my studio where I teach sculpting I had 8 lights , only two of these down there and they are brighter than the 8 I had on.

They are water powered, no batteries so I guess they last as long as the LEDs. Probably a really long time given most LEDs last over 40,000hrs.

They say it's rated for 6000 hours. Can't confirm as I am no where near that amount of hours on new bulb. The housing is plastic.
