How long does this bulb last?

My turtles died after 3 months due to MBD (lack of UVB exposure for calcium uptake) even though the product claims UVA, UVB & heat are present in this 1 bulb. For UVB source for your pet, please provide a second dedicated lamp for UVB and/or take pet outside regularly to bask under the sun. Also, some have referenced that UVB bulbs should be replaced every 6 months. So if you buy this product just use as heat & UVA source, but please get a 2nd lamp for UVB source (do this for your pet's health).

Can't say for certain, but I've had mine for 7months now. It's a great light, and my turtles are much happier, and healthier since I got it. They love basking under their lamp. It gives off a lot of heat.

I would hope it would last more than a month. I have owned mine for three weeks. I don't know about the bulb. Maybe we should go to the web site and ask some questions. I love the way it looks really modern but I can't afford to buy a new one each month. Good luck. Jimmy Morris

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

You should be able to ask the seller this question. We have had no problems this far with this replacement bulb!

Hi, Donald. The bulb is bright and is very energy efficient, however the life is shorter than most standard candelabra based bulbs. It says the life is supposed to be 3000 hours . . . I have purchased three and of the three, two of them lasted less than 500 hours. Pretty pathetic for a bulb in this price range. The electricity saved does not balance the cost of the bulb. In my experience, the lamp is a poor choice.

Not long. Seems like mine was dead after 4-5 hours of use over several months. Never replaced the battery so I've been stuck with a white, plastic bulb for years now. Wouldn't purchase again.

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

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

Hi we guaranteed the Unit for 1 year and the bulb for 1 year as well. We haven't had any issues with these units, they are very good price and last long and provide great Air. Have a wonderful weekend. Regards Arthur

If you expand the Product Description, you'll clearly see the following: Substantially longer lifespan (a minimum of 22.8 years at three hours a day of usage) Note: The bulbs are not replaceable, but 22.8 years is a very long time, and most will last much longer.

According to the label on the lamp, its life span is 40,000 hrs, that gives you about 4.5 years if you leave it on 24/7.So...no, you don't need to replace the bulb, you just have to get a new lamp after 40k hrs.

These bulbs seem to last a long time. We've used 2 of these bulbs in the last 6 months in our kitchen fixture and we leave that light on for 8 hours every night. We were gone on vacation for 5 days and the lights were still working after being on constantly day and night.

Oh forgot, don't touch the bulb, with your fingers, use clean gloves or paper towels, that`s properly why your bulb went out to begin with. I have some there lasted for 8 - 9 years.

On average, LED bulbs last 50,000 hrs which translates to a little less than 6 years of continuous use. Odds are, you're not going to use the light 24/7 so it'll last considerably longer than that. I've been told 25 years, but time will tell. They're very bright. Bought a dimmer switch compatible with LEDs and that solved that.

The last one I bought only lasted about 6 months. I got it from Bulb World. I hope the one I just bought lasts a lot longer.

Depends how often you use it. Mine lasted seven years and this is a pack of ten bulbs. You'll never use them all!

I believe it's 90 days, but I had a bulb go out 7 days later and other bulb was changing colors. Returned the whole set.
