what happens if the LED stop working? How would I replace them?

You don't. The LEDs should last a minimum of 5 years. I it doesn't, send it back!

No - it's led and cannot be replaced or repaired. They are basically disposable is the led stops working. At the price it's still worth it.

You cannot! When the unit fails, you toss it. These are disposable like printers. It does not pay to fix them. The lamp is all sealed, nothing to service. The reasoning behind this is that LED's last a few thousand hours and should give you about 3-5 years of service with normal use.

I have 4 that are less than 1 year old and have all stopped working. I have power up to the LED chip but no light output. I currently have a LED chip on order to try and fix the problem.

You can get a replacement LED on Amazon.com. If you take apart the lamp, you will find that it needs to be soldiered... (also, unsoldier the non-working LED. Are you sure it's the LED and not the transformer?

Mine is still working well. But you can check if the batteries are in good shape or try to remove and replace the leds and batteries. I hope that helps.

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.

Well what you could do is take an old usb cord and a small usb power brick which could work which is what i tried or u could just buy an led power supply but i mean itt can be a hassle

LEDs last a long time and the possibility of a defect should show up before the warranty expires. It'll probably last 30 years and at that time there will most likely be an even better LED or other technology to replace it with.

buy a new unit. for the price of these new if you have a few of the LEDS go out you should just buy a new unit. they are not worth messing with. I have 3 lamps go out on mine after a few hours. they sent me a new one.

One of the LED bulbs could be bad. Pull the light apart and check they all work, its easier than it sounds.

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

I'd send the bad one back. It should last longer. The LED part is probably good, the circuitry sometimes fails. Can't remember the warranty, thought it was a year.

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

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.

If it's LED based, then you can't replace the bulb because there isn't one. If it doesn't light up, it's hard to say why. It sounds defective. Check with the manufacturer.

I believe it's a defective LED driver or at least one of the components in that power circuit. I had similar problem with one of the 18 units after 2 months of used. I would recommend contacting the seller to see if they can send you a replacement. I plan to do the same this week. It should not happen.
