How is this lamp holding up? Is it still working after months and years? HD seems to carry one that looks identical but w/horrible reviews.

Just bought this model, so can't answer long term. However, I have 3 other HZ lamps with dusk-to-dawn and motion sensor electronics and have owned other similar lamps in the past. In my opinion, the electronics are reliable for 2-10 years. Plan to replace these lamps every couple/few years. They don't work well with any other than incandescent bulbs. Put a 40-60 watt bulb in it and plan to change bulbs a couple times per year. If you don't expect it to last 20-years and don't expect bulbs to last 5-years you should be okay.

Had mine about 4 years and it's working fine. It is under a porch so is not affected by the weather. I live in Arkansas.

I've had two black ones for almost three months and a white one for two years and all are working perfectly well. I would buy these again.

I sent mine back for a full refund. I was with in a month of sending it back. Contact Amazon and see what they can do for you. Then look for a different lamp manufacturer and test the lamp right away. Or if you can afford a new tv I would do that since they are phasing out these types of tv's. There is no vested interest in making a good quality replacement lamp. That's why they are so cheap these days. Hope this helps.

I have 2 lamps like you described in my entry hall. They came with these bulb (which I love by the way), they are on quite a bit being in the entry and I have had no problems. Have had about 9 months. I don't believe the lights I have are made any different than others.

As far as I know this lamp carries a full 1 Year Warranty. I have had my lamp for just 3 months now with no issues. Let me know how it comes out.

I'm selling this exact one on eBay. Works perfect but a couple of the lamps are burned out.

I love this lamp. I have had it for almost a year now and it does the job. I have not had to change the bulbs yet, and I use it often. The bulbs are much easier to change than the old lamp I have. Hope this helps.

I have had a mag lamp that did the same thing in the past (shed metal shavings). I replaced it with this lamp in question, and have been very happy with it! I can't speak to longevity, as I have only had it a few months, but couldn't be happier with it.

I did purchase one and it does work. Its been working fine. On the other hand this series of TV's have real issues with the lamps. If you want to avoid future problems and costly replacements. Ditch the TV and get a LED TV, in the long run it will be cheaper. Just my 2 cents.

It is worth the money. Very sturdy and flexible. Have owned a few "goose neck" lamps but this is the best. Make sure you get the right bulb to suit your vision needs. Glad to help....Pete W.

I've experienced a broken lamp that shattered inside the TV. It was a loud breaking sound. Fortunately, it wasn't with this brand of lamp. It was a cheaper off brand lamp. I've had this lamp for months & have not had any problems. The packaging is top notch & it also come with a 1 year warranty. Great Buy...

I bought the TV back in 2004. The salesman told me that one of the downsides of this kind of tv was that I'd probably need to replace the bulb once a year. I bought the TV anyway and the original bulb lasted nine years.When it finally burned out, I bought two new bulbs from Amazon-a cheaper one and a more expensive. I put the cheaper (I think it was from Bulb World) one in about 1.5 years ago and so far it's been absolutely fine. So far so good. Hope that helps.

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.

Take a look in the back and see if the lamp is still working. If it's not it's supposedly easily replaceable.Have you had the concave screen problem I've had?

Hi Chew, I haven't had mine in for too long, perhaps 8 months to a year, but it's still working. I suggest that when you do install a new lamp, you reduce the 'contrast' to save the lamp's life a bit. As for which one fits your TV, I don't know what model TV you have. You can find that info in the User's Manual. If you don't have a User's Manual, you can download one from the TV manufacturer's website.

yes it is the best .ive ordered the lamps before from different companys and they didn't last long at all,plus the quality of the picture wasn't that great...

I have had this lamp for 7 months and it works well, only flaw was the rotary switch's plastic housing, which cracked and I had to replace it. The housing is a cheaply made piece even when you buy a replacement part at a home improvement store, they only carry one "brand", so there does not seem to be any other choice.

Your mileage may vary since there are a ton of different sellers advertising through this one listing. The one I got had the housing but it was broken. I ended up re-using the old housing and then returned the whole damn thing because it was crap (took a long time to warm up, wasn't very bright and flickered a lot). Do yourself a favor and buy a lamp through Tristatemodule.com. You'll pay a little more but you will definitely get a quality product.
