What LED failure rate is acceptable? Discussion ThreadWhat LED failure rate is acceptable? Electrical Advice
Hi,
What do people consider is an acceptable failure level for LED bulbs?
I have two examples, both from TLC "LEDLite" home brand lights.
1st, I fitted 6 of their 8W filament LED bulbs with 2 years guarantee in my parents house, and 3 have failed within the first year. (50% failure in half the guarantee period)
2nd I fitted 45 “LED Fire Rated Downlight” lamps (all in one fitting) with 5 year guarantee. Two years in and there are already 6 lamps that have failed, so that is over 10% failure in less than half the guarantee.
I would like to tell TLC that a 50% failure rate is unacceptable and get a full refund on all 6 lamps since they are not fit for purpose, but what about the 10% failure on the 45 lamps?
