HI Cheryll: I'm sorry no one seems to have responded to this post. I'm searching info about the pros and cons of integrated LEDs for bathroom sconces and face a similar choice. My first choice fixtures have dimmable integrated LEDs. When I asked the supplier if this meant I'd need to replace the entire fixture should the LED fail, I was told yes. That made me think twice about the whole thing.

When I read your description, I don't see that this lamp has integrated LEDs so it is confusing. It sounds as if you can replace the LED bulbs as needed.

I have no help, but totally understand your frustration as I’ve struggled with the same issue. We have to throw the whole fixture out when the integrated bulbs die??

I’d love an industry person to explain how/why this industry trend started.
