Last year the apartment complex replaced all the light/fixtures with LED lights. Great

Well today the bathtub room ceiling light starts flashing like a strobe light (It's a Jack and Jill bathroom set up) I go to replace the bulb.... Stupid fixture has no bulb, just wires.

Now I have to wait until some point next week for the Maintenance guy to come out and hopefully fix the stupid thing!!

Yeah I'm not a fan of fixtures with LED. Call me old school, but it's so much easier to just replace a bulb.

Our front porch light was LED. It worked fine for a couple of years, then it started doing that blinking. We ended up just replacing it with the bulb variety.

Good luck.

So the light is part of the fixture? The whole thing has to be replaced?

Yeah, I took the thing off the ceiling, it's all one piece thing with just wires, no bulbs... So as far as I can tell the whole thing needs to be replaced instead of just a bulb

That’s dumb.

This is quite common for LED fixtures meant for bathrooms, or high moisture areas. The entire fixture is sealed and must be replaced. I agree, this is a pain and not cost effective - but probably cheaper to manufacture. If this is a rental apartment, it may also be a safety issue that they don't short out from the steam.
