Can you replace the LED if it goes bad?

It's easy to replace the LED bulb. In fact, a year or so after I purchased this light, I replaced the original bulb with a high output LED bulb. It's easy. However, the same body size maglite can now be purchased with the high output LED light. It's about the same price as buying the non-LED light and then buying the high energy bulb. I use my light every night. Good product.

Hi there. If you're handy with tools, you MIGHT be able to replace it, assuming you could find the same 5-watt LED part. But it's not designed to be replaced. However, not to worry! Unless there are manufacturing defects, you should get many, many thousands (25,000 - 30,000) of hours of use from this bulb - LEDs for all practical purposes last "forever" and don't need changing due to burning out like regular incandescent and flourescent bulbs. By the time this would wear out, in 15-20 years for most people, LED lamps will be dirt cheap and universal so replacement of the whole fixture would be the way to go. In short - don't worry about it! It may, however, have manufacturing defects - but that's what warranties are for.

I would certainly have to assume that the circuitry is not user serviceable, and any attempt to change the LED would void the Duracell warranty.

No way to tell. If there are no mechanical failures, the LEDs should work for at least 50 years! Nothing to wear out.

Hi Milton, LED lighting can be replaced when sent to the repair center. It isn't user replacable. -Vincent

I have called LED Wolesalers and talked to the guy's there, They are very helpful. Any question that you have they can answer.

One of the LED bulbs could be bad. Pull the light apart and check they all work, its easier than it sounds.

if the keyboard still works its just an LED issue.the keyboard is very easy to replace if you have the time and our handy with a screwdriver

If you don't mind brightness varying or burning out a digital output or a power supply when the LED fails, then don't use a resistor. It doesn't matter which lead of the LED the resistor is connected to.

No. It's not a lamp. It's an LED. There really should not be a need to replace it. If the diode fails then I suppose I would chase DeWalt for a replacement flashlight. If you are somehow wanting to change to a different circuit and LED, then surgery, maybe(?)

If it's LED based, then you can't replace the bulb because there isn't one. If it doesn't light up, it's hard to say why. It sounds defective. Check with the manufacturer.

No if the screen is cracked that means the LED is broken. So the replacement glass would do nothing for you.

You can't replace the LED element - it's all built in and not like a light bulb. When it conks out, the lamp is done. But it's going to last a very very long time, so don't worry.

I personally habe no problem with mine so far.usually, Leds do last over 10 years but cheap components makes problems especially when it's connected without ground wire.

I tried as well. The answer is NOPE. You MUST have your reciept to use the warrenty if you make a claim. I had the power supply side go out after less that one year. The would not send me a new one because I did not think to save my invoice. The LED should not burn out. Your power unit might be the culprit, but it is hard to tell unless you have 2 units. (which I do)....or at least used to.

Led replacement I am unsure about but replacing batteries seems easy, just take battery out and look at the serial code and match at Walmart, radioshack or anywhere else that sells button type batteries

LED's are usually soldered to a circuit board and it's the board that goes bad before the bulb does, which happens frequently with the dollar store types. The bulb in this light seems glued in as well. In other words, you will probably never need to replace an LED "bulb" but good luck if you do, so buy a good flashlight like this one. I have had one of these for 3 years now, it's gone through the wash once, doesn't flicker or fail ever, it's a good flashlight.
