LED lights starting to fail

**BreakfastinAmerica** · 04-27-2020, 11:53 AM

In the past 3 months I have had 2 LED lights fail, Bathroom and hallway. Less than 100 hours on bathroom and 10 hours in hallway. So far I replaced with living room lights since we don’t ever use them....we have 5 and they are to bright.

Has anyone else had this issue? I thought they would last for a long time. Anyone find an upgraded light they are happy with?

Generally they will, but all electronics have what they call "Infant Mortality Rates". Generally, they'll fail right away, or they will last a long time. One of our friends had 3 of their lights start blinking and GD replaced them at our rally. Remember they are cheaper products.

So far, we've had no issues, but my husband has already bought a couple of spares.

Incidentally is there a way to pull these out for cleaning? We have one with a bunch of debris in it from the factory. I can pull them down about 2" but there seems to be a spring or something.

Yes, there's what they call a "mousetrap" spring. It's called that for a reason, and if the trap springs it really hurts.
