How long does the bulb last?

I just purchased the lamps about 8 months ago and the bulbs are still fine. Really depends on how long you have them lit so it's very hard to answer that question. I did buy a back up bulb since I use one lamp more than the other. Trust me you won't worry about replacing the bulb once you see how well the lamp works. That is why I bought two and three of my neighbors bought one each too.

I use the lamp all the time as a reading lamp. It is virtually on all day & night. I've had it for over a year & it hasn't gone out yet.

I don't remember the last time I replaced one, so I'd guess at least one year.

I've had mine about 2 years so far still original bulb. I sue it almost daily anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours

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.

Our original bulb lasted almost 6 years and my husband uses the lamp every evening. We just bought another new lamp and hope for the same life span. We love these lamps!

Have 3 lamps and use daily and have had them 9-12 months and have not had a bulb burn out. Knock on wood!! Very pleased with lamps.

Hi there. I got mine lamp last March and the bulb that came with it just burned out about 2 weeks ago. So a solid year for me and I've used it at least 8 hours a day, Monday-Friday in my home office, where I work full-time. Easy to change the bulb, too. The cover snaps right off and you just pop it out and plug in a replacement.

I've only had the lamp for about a month but I've had no problem with the bulb.

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.

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 bought this lamp over 10 years ago, & this is the first time I had to replace the bulb. Unknown how long the newer bulb will last.

Not exactly sure how long mine comes on each night but it does come on, off & on throughout the night, and I have had my first one over a year and have not changed the bulb yet.

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!

Not much. I can't tell the difference and I leave it on all night. All bulbs still work

Not quite a year. It depends I think on the air circulation around the bulb. The less the circulation the hotter the bulbs get and the shorter they last. Ta

I don't know the bulb life, but I have been using a lot this past year and still very happy with it.

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!

It is brighter but short life. For me, average about 1 year and half per bulb.

If you are asking how many hours the bulb is rated for, then it's 3,000 hours I believe. 4,000 on eco mode. I have about 500 hours on mine.

How long does the battery last if I never turn it off? Also what kind of bulb does it take?

No. It's an LED that's soldered to the wiring. But the LED should last around 10,000 hours, so replacing the bulb should not be an issue.

Our bulb that came with our lamp lasted at least 5 years, we just replaced it a couple of months ago.

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 have had one of the philips LED bulbs inside a fully enclosed fixture for about six months now (I believe it is 429258). It will surely shorten the life, but it remains to be seen if it just shortens it from 7 years to 3.5 years, or if it is about to give up the ghost any day now.
