I bought 4 of these - two of them are dead after being used about 500 hours in different fixtures. I thought expected life span was 3000 hours?

I had a slightly better experience, but along the same lines. They did not last the 3000 hours.

One burned out after shorter use but the two others are still working. I know this a vague answer but it is the best answer I can give you. With the two that are still working I put on a pair of latex gloves since I read you want to avoid direct contact with your skin, but this could be one of those urban legends???

I've seen warranties of 180 days (6 months) to one year. It depends on the seller. In using the Philips lamps I've never had one last less than 6000 hours or about 4 years worth of viewing at 5 hours a day.

Theoretically, the life span of led light bulb is over 30,000h, so please don't worry about this issue. No way to replace the light bulbs. Thanks - saicoo

With proper use (i.e. charging during the day and operating during the night), the batteries should last longer than 2 years. Like any rechargeable battery, over time the charge may not last as long as with say a mobile phone, but the lights are on periodically so I have not noticed any degradation over the 2.5 years I have had 4 of my lights installed. Finally, the bulbs are actually 60 LEDs which are attached to a circuit board and cannot or do not need to be changed. The operating life of the LEDs are about 20,000 hours far exceeding the life of the light.

They purport to last 2000 hours. This current bulb has lasted a little over 1200 hours so far and it's in really good condition. Are you getting the "Replace Lamp" warning?

Mine have lasted over 2 years thus far, 24/7 usage and I have two units. I highly reCommend this, you aren't going to find a bulb that will last half as long, either way. It's a piece of mind.

I have had them for about 4 months with no issues. They are mechanical switches so I am an guessing they will last a while since they did not fail immediately. I have them controlling lamps.

LEDs should be good for 100,000 hours of use. If you left the lamp on continuously (which you won't), that's over 11 years. By then, I doubt you will be looking for replacement LEDs for this (by then) obsolete lamp.

They are built to light continuously for 15000 hours. The bulbs cannot be interchanged. If they go bad the manufacturer should replace the unit.

Has anyone every used an led or florescent to their "life expectancy". I'm guessing about 3% of the real world.I've had many, Many incandescents outlast the previously mentioned. Thanks China

I think it's however long to actual machine lasts...4000 uses..2000? I'd check on the actual site. I just think the light stops working - which is what you need.

According to their website http://www.lightingever.com it is a lifetime warranty. Expected lifespan is 15 to 25 years at four hours a day use.

I don't use the bulbs that much, But I have some over several years......... They do last a long time....... but I'm not able to get you an hour count...........

purchased 9 of these bulbs and one has quit already after less than 1000 hours. 4 1/2 months old. Likely will be a hassle finding where to replace it.

bought 90 total of these lights to replace 290 watt incandescent fixtures. Lights work well, brighter than old fixtures and 100 W (2 lights) vs. 290 will yield (190Wx10 hoursx250 days =380kwh@.13/kwh=$49.40/ year electricity savings. However, none of these products have been in service long enough to establish the 50,000 hour service life they claim. 2 of the lights were defective on delivery (easy refund.) I view them as a reasonable risk for considerable reward if they last 3 years or better.

Hi, Wanted to let you know like all new LED lights its hit and miss I think we've only had one bad but it happened almost immediately I cant give you an hour length because with all LED lights it just depends on how well the bulb was done.That being said they last a long time for the price.

mine lasted less than 7 months / 10,000 miles. I was really disappointed because I liked the bulbs when they worked. I contacted Philips customer service and they told me tough luck. I've vowed to never buy Philips again and to share my bad experience as often as possible.
