    Default LED lights dull?

    I purchased a Chinese portable dunny and it has LED lighting that I thought stopped working. One photo is light on other is light off, not a lot of difference. The are 2 diodes that are not lighting up at all could they be run in series and that is why it doesn't work properly? Can you buy these LEDs if they need replacing?

    It may be possible to replace the LED’s but first of all you need to identify the device itself rather than the plastic lens in front of it.
    Next question is do you have the tools or experience to replace the electronic components, they are possibly surface mount devices.

    Unless you have the knowledge and experience in component level repair of electronic circuit boards then best option is to find a complete light fitting replacement of the size and shape of the existing with the same power supply specifications.

    My experience with LEDs is that you replace the entire unit. My large kitchen light and dimmable exterior LEDs are not "serviceable" - must replace the whole item

    cheaper, simpler and easier to just buy a whole new light.
