dear friend, I do use the ball once in a while, still is working but I have no idea how long it will last. This bold is still the coolest thing since sliced bread.

the packaging says 8,000 hours. There's a 2 yr. warranty. I've had mine for exactly 1 year and absolutely love it. It's beautiful.

I've always just picked the bulb up and inserted it into the socket. No problem! I bought several of these some months ago; so far none have died on me after being on 5-15 hours a day

The BlueMD bulb is rated to last 10,000 hours, which equates to about 30,000 treatments at 20 minutes each. We generally put the life expectancy of the bulb at around 5 years, but it will obviously last much longer if you go by the hour rating on the bulb. Also, should you ever need a replacement bulb, we sell them to existing customer by contacting us directly. Thanks!

Mine lasted 27 months, not sure if that is normal life of that bulb or not. Wife says OEM bulb lasted 5 years.

From what I have read the bulb life is 5,000 hours. The cost for new bulbs are about $200

I installed the bulb about 3 months ago in the hallway of my apartment building. I have subsequently moved so I'm not sure if it is still working. Sorry!

Mine lasted a year, but I have never seen this type of bulb before, but i replaced mine with a regular bulb and it worked fine.

The 30,000 hours is actually projected to be 18.26 years based on average use of 3 hours/day. I am guessing the company is relatively new and has not been around for 30 plus years like Phillips or GE to offer a lifetime or 20 year warranty so they are being conservative/realistic with what they can honor. Again, just pure conjecture. I have had the bulbs for 6 months and they still work fine.

Oh forgot, don't touch the bulb, with your fingers, use clean gloves or paper towels, that`s properly why your bulb went out to begin with. I have some there lasted for 8 - 9 years.

To the best of my knowledge, there is not an hour rating. The original OEM bulb is supposed to last 3000-4000 hours as I recall. The first one that came with my projector lasted a little over 3000 hours and the OEM replacement only lasted around 1200 hours. I have this bulb now and the picture quality is just as good. It has about 500 hours on it so far. For the price, I'll be satisfied if I get over 1500 hours.

If you find out let me know, mine is junk too. Just plug it in and use it that way till bulbs burn out?

The LED bulb in mine lasted about 4 hours. It just went dead; the switch is ok; tried new batteries, no use. Dorcy has no replacement parts for it.

It is my understanding that these bulbs are not replaceable. I would call Lithonia tech support and asked them. Also, take a picture and go back to who sold it to you and see if they can help. It is also my understanding that they are supposed to last for 30,000 hours which is about 8 years at 10 hours per day.

Thanks for the info. I hope to goodness that the lamp life is not 3,000hrs! I've been waiting years to buy a projector that doesn't require rip-off bulb replacements. My own HS201 is on a UPS truck at this very moment, waiting to be delivered to my house...

I dont know about the particular details, but I use it for a few hours so its not worth switching out a bulb for that time.

No doubt, in the product description there should be a coma between the "50000 Hrs Lifespan" and Guaranteed. I don't know any manufacture that guarantees their lamps for the duration of their rated life and would not expect that to be the case with these LED's Lamps. That, of course is only my opinion - for what it is worth!!!

You should be able to ask the seller this question. We have had no problems this far with this replacement bulb!
