What is the lifespan of this light? In hours please. Can I replace the bulb when it fails?
Asked by Adam on 3 Jul 2021
The light is dusk until dawn, so should through until it gets light. In winter you can use the power saving mode to help it run longer. I would say the most in winter would be around 6 hours, depending on weather and location.
