I'm happy, it's only a lightbulb, leave it, it's not worth it...

You'd better hope I don't turn up where you work with a faulty lamp, then.

A well made LED lamp is no more a 'consumable' than a TV set!

I wouldn't return such a lamp after more than a couple of years but I'd certainly expect it to last that long and consider that it was not of merchantable quality, if it didn't.

good luck with my manager !

Even though "lamps" is the correct word to use, "bulbs" is still used by a great many electrical retailers, online advice websites, Trading standards and other government departments etc.
Word usage and phraseology often changes over time and even though some words and terms may not be used 100% correctly, as long as everyone knows what is being discussed, what's the problem?

Not to mention the fact that they were commonly known as "light globes" a number of decades ago.
They're lightbulbs. Its even in autocorrect dictionaries. The battle is over
