LED's will last 25,000 hours. The drivers (the components that convert AC to the required DC, at a constant/steady rate) however, apparently die long before the actual LED does. I've replaced many so far. It's not hard if you can use a soldering iron (and the light in question supports it). If your LEDs are blinking, that's a sure-fire sign that the driver is bad (not the LED).
And, from my experience, it's probably the battery that's failing in your cordless vac.
- teekert 4y agoIt keeps the vacuum, it's really the brush head with the rotating brush and leds that fails periodically. Feel like as I move some conctact are broken and restored.
- Jupe 4y agoSorry to hear that. We had a few cordless vacs - each one has died due to the battery. No replacements available :/ Even the very expensive Dyson. So far, my Dewalt cordless vac (which has a replaceable battery, by design, since it's a Dewalt) works OK. It's a mini shop-vac, but we pull it out for various household uses as needed.
- teekert 4y agoYeah, if this one really fails I'm going for this Makita [0] or similar, I have a bunch of those batteries + double fast charger already and the price seems right, although perhaps it will function less well, it seems to be a lot simpler of a device (plus, I love anything with those batteries, it's an addiction ;)).
