MaxLite LED Night Lights Dying
I bought 20 of these nightlights a few months ago and have been using them throughout my house. I’ve been happy with the way they work, but now they are starting to fail. The lights are supposed to have a “100,000+ hour” lifetime, but out of the 20, five have failed already. I disassembled one to see if the failure occurred in the power supply, control circuit or the LED’s. To my surprise, the LED’s were the point of failure. Both white LED’s were fried. Either the LEDs are being overdriven to the point of early death, or the inexpensive power supply is very sensitive to voltage spikes. Either way, this is a big disappointment and I will be looking for another brand of light to replace them. Anyone have similar experiences? Is there an inexpensive replacement with the same brightness?
