Years ago I installed many outside P.I.R. controlled tungsten halogen floodlights. If the bulb blew it could easily be replaced by me of the householder. These days I have been installing L.E.D. flood lights that boast a life of 30k hours. Some L.E.D. flood lights from the Fix Screw outlets have flood lights with a 2 or 3 year guarantee printed on the boxes. Do not be fooled though, even though the box boasts a 2 or 3 year guarantee and 30k hours Fix Screw will not guarantee the L.E.D. flood lights beyond a year. Yes, just one year. I have had to replace at my own cost 2 L.E.D. flood lights of the Loosec-co brand that had been in use for less than 2 years..
L.E.D. lights may be the flavour of the year, but the labour involved in replacing a whole unit if it fails makes them less than desirable.
Any thoughts?
