What is the estimated hours or bulb life?

THAT'S ONE TOUGH QUESTION, FOR WHICH ONLY THE 'G7' DEVELOPER/MANUFACTURER CAN GIVE YOU AN ACCURATE ANSWER. An indirect/inferred guess-timate from my husband who's a retired EE is that, based on its design/construction and 6 months of continued 24/7 usage with much satisfaction of two such bulbs on our UPSs [ for power-indication, emergency lighting, and night lights ], these LED bulbs are of good reliability and value to us.

Hi Ronnie, the lifespan of this bulb is estimated at 50,000 hours. This includes lumen depreciation and other factors. Most high quality LED bulbs are rated by Energy Star at 30,000 to 35,000. Thanks!

I just looked into normal bulbs vs XtraVision bulbs. The normal bulbs have a lifetime rating of 1100 hours specified on the package. The XtraVision bulbs listed 160 hours as the rated life. Just doing the math, if I have to commute home from work after dark, which is a 45 minute drive, 160 hours works out to about 42 weeks, or less than a year. The normal bulbs would last 5+ years. Having slightly brighter headlights in exchange for vastly more maintenance seems like a poor tradeoff for most people. I see the Amazon description says the life is 850 hours, which is not what the package says.

Good question, I don't know . But I thought the bulbs were supposed to last for a very long time.

By the way, the bulb in it is rated for 100,000 hours. Probably about 10,000 years for me!! ;-)

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

It's an LED on a circuit board, thus not practical for replacement by the average person, even though its accessible. I'm presuming the life of the unit would be something like 20000 hours (2.25 years continuous), based on other LED bulbs, but that's just an educated guess.

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!!!

That depends on which bulb burns out. But an LED bulb lasts thousands of hours.

T5 four foot 6500K fluorescent bulbs. The bulb life is stated to be 1000 hours, and recently four of my six bulbs burned out within a two week period after about that time frame.

Not that I can see, but who cares. LED Bulb should last ten thousand hours plus, And for the twelve dollars I bought it for, I think it's a bargain!

These bulbs are rated for 8000 hours. About 1 year of you leave them on 24/7. I wouldn't recommend them for daily use, though; the ballasts seem to be VERY fragile - we've had a number of them, (the ballasts) just burn out after less than 10 hours of use. Other than that, I love 'em.

I don't know the hour rating, they last at least as long as the $5.00 bulbs that I bought previously.

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...........

Not many hours. I don't watch this TV nearly as much as I used to because I got an LED/LCD TV. The brightness was OK while the bulb lasted. The last two bulbs which I purchased from JVC at $150-$200 lasted over 3 years each.

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.

Yeah. We are referring to the typo on the UK LGE spec page that incorrectly states 3000 hours. We know lamp life is 30,000.

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