From reading the reviews, it looks like if one light goes out they all go out. Is that true? or do the rest stay lit? Thank you

I bought mine this summer and they are all dead already. They went out two strands at a time. Pretty disappointing.

One of my light strings which covered 2 ribs of the 8 ribbed umbrella went out, and all I had to do was to check each bulb in the string that was out by pushing each bulb into its socket firmly and eventually after doing this to one particular bulb the whole string became lit again. Good luck!

Hi, Wanted to let you know like all new LED lights its hit and miss I think we've only had one bad but it happened almost immediately I cant give you an hour length because with all LED lights it just depends on how well the bulb was done.That being said they last a long time for the price.

The bulbs in mine quit working fairly reg. I sent a set back because the light went out within a week, they really need to improve the setup...The last few times the bulb quit I was able to get it working again by clearing the contact points (screw heads ) where the top connects to the bottom. I loosened the small Phillip's screws and retightened them on the wire then I used a tooth pick in the bulb holder to bend the contact points away from the side so it would contact the bulb. So far this has fixed mine the last 3 times they quit. As far as a bulb the only thing I found that MIGHT work is they sell a replacement lcd bulb for the old 3v MINI- MAG flashlights I found one a Lowes $5 for (2) but I haven't tried one yet..It is nice to have the Lights working I hope Hobbs fixes the poor workmanship of the lights I really like the salt & pepper set.

They are sealed in a tube. None of the lights in mine have burnt out yet. I think if one goes out the rest are Ok. But you can't replace 1 bulb you'd have to replace the stick. But I'd think if 1 goes out you are Ok

Mine are still working. One fell and cracked a bit but it still lights up at night. They don't last all night but they still do light up. I think you might want to send them back and try a second pair.

YES. If you've read through some of the comments on this product you've seen that reliability is a big problem. For some the light won't shut off and for others it shuts down completely.

Mine is almost 4 years old, we noticed today while fixing something else that 1 light is out on each of the outers, plus 2 in the middle. However, it's still bright enough for us so we're going to put it back up and replace it when too many have burned out.

Yes, go to a full view of this product. On the inside, there is where the actual circuit is that is faulty in these lights. There are "3" parts on this circuit that quit working in sync. I replaced mine with only this piece and never had trouble again.

I responded earlier but having read other answers I think I have to explain.If the unit is plugged in and set on one of the operating temperatures,(high, low or warm) I do not believe the light goes out.If the unit is plugged in but turned to the OFF position, the light then goes out.

No...there are three lights in a "one-pack"...go figure. We have had ours for a little over a year...they no longer work. I'm hoping my husband can fix them. I bought two "one-packs" and have 6 in my back yard.

Yes, the lights go off completely, unless you select the "dim/full" option. I didn't go out to look at how this was done when I set it up, but that's how I set it up at installation. So, I don't use the dimming feature, just on/off. And, the on/off is enabled only at dusk. They go off on a timed setting, also selectable.

Are they speaking about the little light that is inside the dimmer? If so, mine has lasted forever. I wouldn't know about that. If they are speaking about the bulb that is in the lamp it turns on and off, then that has not happened to me. If my lamp burns out I replace the bulb and it has no effect on the dimmer. I highly recommend these dimmers! Mine is a necessity!

The only led that I have an issue with are 2/4 ...( I think 4 ) that illuminate the license plate. However , they were not working on arrival/installation so I wouldn't necessarily say they went out. Probably just a manufacturer defect. Side note ( make sure you don't wire them up backwards lol ) overall great tail lights.

I just looked at mine and yes it is burned out. Thx for bringing it to my attenchion. I'll have to keep an eye on it. I have had this light for about 4 or 5 months now and l don't know when it went out. At this point I have had it on for 18hrs a day since I got it. Everything els is running fine.

The lights actually work well with the dimmer. They will dim and brighten though the entire spectrum. But, when on the dimmest setting the lights will "creep" back up to about half brightness and then stop. I had blamed it on the dimmer switch that I got from HD. But it may be the lights themselves. That issue may be a problem inherent to LED lights (at least the current generation of them). I have not seen any other reviewers with this issue so it may just be the dimmer (or the installer) LOL. Even so, I'm thinking the pros out weigh the cons (economical, long lasting , bright and easy of install (I really like handy little spring clips that secure it to the ceiling =) ). Hope this helps.

Unfortunately these lights are hit or miss. We have 10 strips in our business and we've had issues with two of the power sources going out. The other 8 have been going strong for over a year now running approximately 16 hours a day 5 days a week. We ended up buying an aftermarket power source and have yet to experience any further issues.

I just got them this year, nothing burned out yet. I wouldn't think so as each light is kind of on its own cord.
