why did the bulb go out shortly after 90 day warranty expired
183690
Mine has lasted 2 years now. When you installed it you did not touch the lamp at all with your fingers and transfer anything to the lamp face? That maybe could create a hot spot and it burned out? Sometimes there is just a defect. When I first installed it I must have jarred the optical block so I had a rose tint across the top of the screen about 3 inches down. After a while you learn to ignore it, but I noticed recently that the line is gone. I moved the set a bit recently to get at a side connector and I am wondering whether that jarred something back in place. Now I won't move the set at all until the bulb dies again or something else goes south.

When did I say it went out? If this is the bulb I ordered after sending the first one back we are still using it.

No warranty mentioned...It's a light bulb. Refer to the sellers policy page: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aag/details/ref=aag_m_ss?ie=UTF8&asin;=&isAmazonFulfilled;=1&isCBA;=&marketplaceID;=ATVPDKIKX0DER&seller;=A3LCF0MVREY8Q7#aag_legalInfo

I believe it is 90 days. I went with G-Lamps as they had the best deal and have pretty good service for return/replacement.

I just had my first bulb go bad and as it turns out Amazon honors the return for 30 days! I think a $13.51 light bulb should have a bit better warranty on it than that. I've got incodescent bulbs that have lasted for years and only cost peniies to replace. Time to contact support and see what they say.Update: I contacted SunSun at info@sunsunlighting.com, they responded the next day, requested the invoice from my purchase, and shipped me a replacement bulb UPS. That's pretty good customer service any way you look at it.

Sorry, I'm not sure. I do know that this type of bulb has a short life compared with regular bulbs. Generally they are not on for that long in any case.

I never had issues with the bulbs i always purchased from inovated and all of them are more than a year old, warranty i dont know but they are cheap so I just buy new ones.

I have not had any issue with that. I would say if some of the cells are out then you need to replace the bulb. If you notice it is not doing as before take a break from use and then resume.

I have never seen a warranty. It refers only to the owners manual. The bulb on our TV should last approximately 5000 hours.

Hey there, ive purchased a cheap one and this one and I believe it may be another issue shortening the life of these bulbs... Maybe the fan ? Maybe excess dirt? Both of mine only lasted about 10 months (max) also.

do not know if it was the bulb problem or the TV's but it didn't last long. even after we bought the 2nd bulb we had the same problem.

You can either try another lightbulb (simple recommendation, I know). The other option is to get a multi-meter to check the voltage/resistance of the light. Finally, you can send it back for a replacement. A single bulb going bad is hardly a reason to send it back. Most things are made in China so try another one before RMA'ing the product.

I'm not sure of the warranty. I went through the amazon returns link. The bulb that I bought didn't work new.

On my unit the green light went out after a while, while the unit was still in warranty. The unit otherwise appeared OK. I called Intermatic and after some discussion and email they sent me a new unit. Their thought was that the light burned out. I took the 'bad' one apart and it looked OK on the inside, so it likely was a bad bulb. The green light should always be on when the unit is powered.

I found it had a warranty for I think 15 months then my bulb died but Amazon refunded my money
