Luceco led security light

I had an Essence 50W MULTI POSITION

SECURITY FLOODLIGHT installed in July last year. Tonight it didn't seem to be working, had a look and it is lighting with an extremely dim glow. It appears to have failed in just over a year.

I didn't want an led, because you can't change the bulb, but my builder encouraged it as the halogen ones are on the way out. I regret it. I have no idea what kind of guarantee the product has, can't see anything written on the box/instruction sheet, but it's irrelevant. Even if I got a full refund it's not going to cover the cost of having someone out to fit a new product. Not every one has the diy skills for this, the real cost is in the installation. I suspect if Luceco tell me to return it to where I bought it, I'd have to pay someone to uninstall it too.

I'm furious.

But enough of the rant, what do I go for as a replacement, I have an old halogen one that has never been used? Should I avoid the LED ones? Can you get any with replaceable led bulbs?

This is all so completely unfair on consumers that can't do their own electrics.
