I understand that this is a disposable light since the bulbs cannot be changed, so what is the life expectancy of this fixture?

The manufacturer's website lists 50,000 hour lifetime. For LEDs, "lifetime" is the point at which they dim to 70% of their original brightness, rather than actually burning out. And since they are wired in parallel, if an LED fails, the rest should continue working. I think these are voltage-driven (as opposed to current-driven), so the failure of an LED doesn't mean the other LEDs will be driven harder, as would be the case in a current-driven configuration.Honestly, the power module is probably the weak link in most LED fixtures.

I am hoping for 3 years. We have had 20 of them installed now for 6 months burning 24/7 with no problems.

The attached video states 50,000-hrs of life. 50,000-hrs equates to 5.7-years of continuous use. If used in location where it's not left on 24/7 is conceivable the life could be well beyond 6-years. Hope this helps.

the question isn't completely applicable. There are no "bulbs". this is an LED fixture. There are many (25? more?) LEDs in the fixture. Any individual LED might fail over 10,000 hours or more. The fixture might be expected to serve for 30,000 hrs, 50,000 hrs - read the description.

Most people say LED bulbs last longer than conventional ones so on that I decided to purchase these fixtures. The cost of an LED bulb is not much less than the whole fixture so because I wanted the savings on electricity, I purchased this fixture. I really like it by the way.

The bulb is NOT replaceable. I have had these for about a year without any issues.

Sorry, I haven't had to replace anything on this fixture. If you could write directly to the manufacturer, it might solve your dilemma.

These are units and the bulbs are built in so can't be changed. Not sure of the warranty.

Haven't had to replace so would also like to no, I thought bulbs would last for many years, ours is new

No. It's an LED that's soldered to the wiring. But the LED should last around 10,000 hours, so replacing the bulb should not be an issue.

No, the lights can't be replaced. At 24 hours per day of continuous use these fixtures can deliver useful light for six years or longer...

Sorry, Bill. I don't remember the rated life span, but they have been installed now for several months with no issues at all, and I usually only got about four months from a filament bulb in the night lite.

I have had one of the philips LED bulbs inside a fully enclosed fixture for about six months now (I believe it is 429258). It will surely shorten the life, but it remains to be seen if it just shortens it from 7 years to 3.5 years, or if it is about to give up the ghost any day now.

I cannot tell you anything about replacement because I have installed eight of these same GU10 replacementsand never received any bad bulbs. As for life span, I have not had any failures in 1 year of usage.

It's an LED on a circuit board, thus not practical for replacement by the average person, even though its accessible. I'm presuming the life of the unit would be something like 20000 hours (2.25 years continuous), based on other LED bulbs, but that's just an educated guess.

I think that the bulbs will last a long time and you won't need to replace them any time soon. I do know that it is 100% lifetime guarantee on them. I believe that the company would replace them should anything go wrong or they stop working. You might want to check with the company on what their guarantee is.Sorry that I couldn't be of more help.

I don't know, have not had to replace light yet. I would contact the manufacturer.

According to their website http://www.lightingever.com it is a lifetime warranty. Expected lifespan is 15 to 25 years at four hours a day use.

The light source is not a bulb; it is an LED which is permanently wired in. Keep in mind, LED's are Solid State devices which means they can have a lifetime of over 50,000 hours. That would give you over 27 years if you used it 5 hours per day. In my opinion, there is no need to make it replaceable because that would just create another place for it to fail. Because it's a Solid State device, if an LED ever does cease giving its light, it's usually something other than the actual LED, i.e. the power supply or the connections. If this desk lamp ever fails, it won't be at the LED.

Well it uses LED bulbs, Two of them. I really don't know if you can replace them, there may be a way to get into the housing but I would not buy any right now. Even if you left the light on for 24 hours a day you would get at least 10 years out of them, and with most normal use of a LED bulb it is more like 30 years. So my suggestion would be to hold off.

I've had mine over a year now, and have not had to change it, but I don't imagine it will be too hard when the time comes. Just spring for a CFL or LED light bulb and you will be ready to change the fixture before the bulb goes out.
