Does anyone know how long these light bulbs are expected to last? The pkg has no info. The warranty simply says "5 yrs" - what does that mean?

I don't know. I hope 50,000 hours. I installed 15 of them 15 feet high in ceiling high hats. No problem, so far. Amazingly bright. Great color temperature for me.

I am not sure what the warranty is, I don't recall there being much information on the packaging. However, like Coinajoa mentioned, they are LED and they should last a long time. I have had mine installed for almost 2 years now with no problems. The only lights I have had to replace of this nature were some cheap LED parking lights that I purchased from an auto parts store.

I just had my first bulb go bad and as it turns out Amazon honors the return for 30 days! I think a $13.51 light bulb should have a bit better warranty on it than that. I've got incodescent bulbs that have lasted for years and only cost peniies to replace. Time to contact support and see what they say. Update: I contacted SunSun at info@sunsunlighting.com, they responded the next day, requested the invoice from my purchase, and shipped me a replacement bulb UPS. That's pretty good customer service any way you look at it.

Yes...I would echo what Rob said. I've been amazed at their longevity. I have them on a timer running about 5 hours EVERY night for the past two years. Only a few bulbs burned out...the other ones are losing their blue color finish due to exposure to sun/rain. Great bulbs.

Not sure about the warranty, but I had one quit working on me after 3 years. Tried a new light bulb, and couldn't find any parts for it. Ended up just buying a new light balast here on Amazon.

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

Not sure about the warranty. Might be 90 days. Bulb has been working perfectly now for about 120 days. Had previoulsy purchased one of the knockoff bulbs and it lasted less than 6 months. This phillips is a better replacement.

As Del answered I've not used them on a regular basis, but I have had the bulbs for 4 years and use them around the holidays. They seem to last for quite a while.

Thank you for the question. The bulb is rated for 25 years. If something happens to the bulb during the warranty period you can return it.

I've had mine about six months so far, and they are still working great. I am very happy with these bulbs.

My bulb's still going strong. Haven't had to use the warranty so I'm not sure.

This is more a question about how long an LED bulb will last, which varies by manufacturer. Philips rates their HUE bulbs at about 15,000 hours whereas others claim over 25,000 hours. Suffice it to say that these will last you at least 5 years or longer compared to *maybe* a year with incandescents. That said, you might get more life out of the bulb itself because that 15,000 hour rating is the projected time at which the light will begin to dim and fade at about 70% of its original brightness. Finally the caveat here is that these bulbs also have WiFi connectivity albeit dedicated to their proprietary bridge, and the issue with embedded electronics is that, like your cell phone or computer, they will eventually start to slow down and even die. That is just a potential issue with having embedded electronics on the LED bulb itself.

These are Led's so these should last more than a halogen bulb. I say 5+ years maybe more!

From my experience with these lights, the bulbs last a long time. Possibly years. During that time, the price has dropped considerably. I have no regards. I've cut my electric bill considerably. Prices have come down 75% since I bought these lights. At today's prices, I'd probably replace the whole light. We have four of these units, with multi lights and nothing has burned out. I originally had your same concerns, but after almost 2 years, I can say, I'm happy.I hope you find this answer helpful.

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!!!

Not sure of exactly how long but I've had mine for a few months now and still going strong.. one of the keys to longer lasting is clean out the dust from the bulb area. My last bulb lasted years. It also helps that you buy a quality product as well. Lesser quality bulbs do burn out quick! Experienced that already. Hope this helps some
