I had a light by this company, after a few months all the plastic holding the lightbulbs crumbled. Is this fixture lasting over time for others?

I have owned this light for approximately one year, and not noticed any sign of deterioration.

I've only had the light since Nov.2013, so far so good. I,have not had to change bulbs yet.

Hey there, ive purchased a cheap one and this one and I believe it may be another issue shortening the life of these bulbs... Maybe the fan ? Maybe excess dirt? Both of mine only lasted about 10 months (max) also.

Hi Jane, This is a brand new machine and I hope I don't need to replace them for along time. They are flouresent so should last for years. Based on the last one my wife had the bulbs out lasted the sliding mechanism to adjust the lighting. She has owned several of these over theyears and never had to replace the bulbs.Hope that answers the concerns. Please give me a helpful vote if it did.

Contact the seller or the manufacturer, they are supposed to last a lot longer than that. I did read from other reviewers that they had problems being used in enclosed light fixtures, that they burned out quickly. Mine is used in an open, recessed (can) light fixture in the ceiling. Some also tried using it for a fixture that had a dimmer switch and this is not made for that, and theirs burned out as well. I hope I helped. Mine has been in for over 5 months, hopefully I won't have to eat my words.

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.

Have had mine about 8 months and have not had to replace the bulb. I am not sure this is enough time to really evaluate its life span. It is a nice little flashlight, well worth the cost.

Mine also has a problem staying on when it shouldn't be. My bulbs burned out within 2 months. I wouldn't buy another. It's a China Cheapie!

I have had mine for over a year and use it routinely. I have yet had to replace a bulb.

It is brand new and I'm told the lights will last a long time. However, it was easy to put the bulbs in when we mounted it on the wall and it looksFABULOUS!

I installed this fixture in a friends house. She has not had to replace the bulb, they do last for a long time. I suggest you take the model number to home depot or lowes. They will have the fixture or at least be able to tell you what bulb to buy.

I have not had to replace any bulbs. It is my understanding that they last for many, many ours.

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.

Not that I know of.... But I have had mine for 6 months now with no problem. I have been happy with the light and its construction.

I have mine outside, they are not a water tight fixture but they are well protected from the elements. I have not had any problems, they have been up for about 3 months. So far so good!!

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.

Arizona sun destroys everything, but we haven't seen any fading. They are thin metal and the thumb screws do protrude out the front. We have them on tiled outdoor steps that don't have a step overhand and deck steps would probably protect them more but that doesn't seem to be a problem. Because of the number of these lights that I have on one circuit I did replace the incandescent bulbs with LED's

the entire fixture will need to be replaced. LEDs will last longer than any other type of bulb and they do not get hot so they will last a long time...
