How many hours of light does a bulb provide over life of bulb or if bird receives 7 hours of light daily, approx. how many days will the bulb last?

We keep our lights on for the boys about 10 hours each day and they typically last between 12-18 months. If you let them go until they burn out I would say 18 months but the quality of light degrades a bit so we replace them once per year to keep the sun shining... Hope this helps

Amazon sells the replacement bulbs. The bulbs last quite a while. I keep my lamps on for up to 12 hours a day and haven't had to replace a bulb yet in the 6 months that I have been using them.

I have heard the bulb will last about 2 years on the average before it has to be replaced. There is also a silver probe that must be replaced when it goes bad. A light will turn on when you have to replace that. I think that may be about 2 years as well. Of course, it depends if you are doing 3 loads per day or 1 load per week.

The Chromolux Full Spectrum bulbs will last 3-7 years depending on the average daily use. They are an excellent value and the most beneficial form of lighting.

The average LED light lasts between 25,000-50,000 hours. In figuring this, if you use the lamp for an hour a day, every day, the bulbs will last over 68 years. There is also a 1 year warranty that comes with the lamp. If you would like to email the company, the address is: info@spheregadget.com and a representative will contact you within 24 hours, according to the site. PS...I Love mine!!

Usually new bulbs have a total of 900 hrs but by the time they reach 800 they have lost a lot of life ... I change mine every 800 so it depends on your preference !

On average 5000 hours but then again it all depends upon your viewing also.Bulbs are cheap at $100...well worth it !

the manufacturer recommends that it be replaced once a year, assuming you use it 8 hrs a day, everyday. i let mine go a little longer than that before and i could definitely tell the difference when it was replaced--both in the light being emitted and the mood of my bird. the bulb will keep burning after the one yr mark, but it should be replaced for its effectiveness every yr.

Its a L.E.D. Bulb rated for 50000 hours, if you use it 6 hours a day that 25 years of life. Most likely will out live us.ThanksBill

On average, LED bulbs last 50,000 hrs which translates to a little less than 6 years of continuous use. Odds are, you're not going to use the light 24/7 so it'll last considerably longer than that. I've been told 25 years, but time will tell. They're very bright. Bought a dimmer switch compatible with LEDs and that solved that.

I do not know. I try to have extra bulb on hand. During a power loss for about 4 days I used the light to read books. Sorry I am not in tune with total hours.

These bulbs seem to last a long time. We've used 2 of these bulbs in the last 6 months in our kitchen fixture and we leave that light on for 8 hours every night. We were gone on vacation for 5 days and the lights were still working after being on constantly day and night.

Parrots come from a place with high levels of UV rays, so I keep my parrots light on a timer for 8-9 hours a day. Essentially you would want them to have access to it for a full day's worth of light.

I'm not sure of the wattage, and have not had any of the problems others have had. My electric bill hasn't changed much so I think it's doing what it's supposed to. Also, My bulb is still going strong after months of daily use. It is at full brightness as soon as I turn it on. My light is on from 7am until 5-6pm 5days a week. Occasionally it's off for 30 min here and there, but it's always as bright as the day I got it. Luv luv luv my bulb.

that's a good question - I don't know the answer but Contour says the life of the bulb is around 20 years but even then it has a lifetime warranty - I think the bulb will out last me :o} - I see LED light bulbs rated at 10,000 to 100,000 hours -- I really like mine and seems very well engineered

An LED will typically burn 50,000 hours or longer before beginning to lose brightness. They don't "burn out" like a traditional bulb.

I don't use mine very often (a few minutes several times a week). I've had the lamp for at least 10 years and don't recall ever replacing the bulb.
