What are the bulbs made out of and do they break easily?

They are LEDs encased in clear plastic. I've had no breakage and they don't appear fragile. I strung three of them up a tree and I wasn't careful when I did it. I am buying additional sets for the holidays. Hope this helps.

The guard is made of plastic, but stays in place and seems to be very strong. In fact, months after installation & use, one bulb started flickering and giving me trouble, I called KC and after they tried to help me troubleshoot it over the phone, they just sent me a new light with no questions asked. They have a long & reliable warranty. I would say that they are well made and they honor their warranty wonderfully.

They are about golf ball size and bulbs are very bright. They don't last very long though. I had mine for almost a yr and all bulbs have burned out and replacements are pretty expensive (about $8 each). However, half of the lights on is still bright enough, with all it is almost too bright.

They are very good, but they are also very sensitive. My bulbs are already out. You could buy replacement bulbs through ephotoinc.com though.

The bulb is rubber like a heavy tire rubber. The tube is heat resistant plastic. Here is a link as to the construction of heat resistant plastic: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090407124250AAgJGiP

No! They become brittle, yellow, break and loose their intensity after a few weeks. My lights were never in UV light, which could cause brittleness.

Shades are plastic actually. And it is not very study one. Funny enough, there was warning in the package that don't use bulbs over some wattage, otherwise plastic will melt :). The poles are some metal, not sure if it is brushed steel.

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!

It's not glass, but a heavyweight, resin type material. There are two bulbs. We are very happy with ours.

They are made from polyester. I use them all the time when using my UV light.

The bulb is replaceable. I replaced the 55 watt bulbs with 130 watt bulbs. I can't remember if they are a really hard plastic or a metal alloy. I know the mounting bracket is metal, not sure about the black casing.

Can't answer that....my bulbs failed in just a few weeks, but I just took the hit and bought some incandescent bulbs to replace them. They shouldn't sell such unreliable bulbs, for sure. Sorry.

Not at all and they last for a long time. Halogens bulbs burn every couple of months. I bought these LED lamps 20 months ago and they are still working even tho they have been On 15 hours a day. I highly recommend this product.
