Huh? Here in Germany you get 6 months for any type of bulb. Everything else is voluntary.

In some countries national law may require you to provide longer guarantees. If the package says something like "10,000 hours" and you haven't run it for that many hours and it dies in 2 years you can get it replaced by EU law
- wjnc 8y agoIn the Netherlands (my country) this is interpreted as that you have a right to a functional product for the usual lifespan of a product. After the two years guarantee you're supposed to share the repair costs proportionally. The boxes of bulbs state the expected lifespan (most home appliances do not) so that's an easy starting point. Plus I guess my local DIY-shop just doesn't want to haggle with me and just gives me the replacement each and every time since I'm the only one asking. I'm unsure about how my online LED-supplier will react if in 3-5 years my LEDs burn out, but I've tried to choose a respectable brand and supplier.
