How many years does 1 bulb last in your experience?(shortest)

I bought 10 about one year ago. One failed after a month. I assume it was defective. The others are still working. That is all I have to go on.

So far no burnouts and it's been about a year, the regular bulbs were burning out much faster, led should last 7+ years.

I had one last about 3 years and I'd say it had at most 40 hours on it. I have others that are still working, but at these prices, there should be absolutely no failures at all - no excuses!

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.

I did some math with my probable maximum time of use and i figured at a MINIMUM the lamp would last me 10-15 yrs in bulb life. I'm almost sure by that time something more advanced or that i like better will come along and this lamp will be going to goodwill or the landfill.

thats a question for the manufacturer, but the led bulbs are normally rated for 7 years before any degrading begins.

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.

There is a one year warranty. Please keep your purchase information for proof of purchase should you have any issue with the bulb.

The information on the LED bulbs says they last for many years, something like 20 years if left on 6 hours a day. I will be dead by then. Sure, whenever theynburn out you would just unscrew and replace like any other bulb. The ones I have give a light like daylight and are great. I am so pleased with them.

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!

I had these last a little over one year (roughly 22,000 miles). My car uses the low-beam 9007 filament to power my day time running lamps so it's literally on all the time. Much better than most of the other Sylvania bulbs I have tried in the past. Totally worth it to have the brighter output on the road. Saved me a few times by being able to see deer on the side of the road before they jumped in front of me.Check out this thread on lumens output and average life: http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?231144-Brightest-9007-bulb

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.

In my experience they last as long as other bulbs typically last. Mine were still working great and strong when we sold my truck.... it hadn't been years since the install but there was no sign of them going out anytime soon. (I think it had been 1-2 years since the bulb swap out from factor bulbs)

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 believe its 5 months, the best I've been able to find. The last one I bought blew up 2 days before the warranty expired so I was able to get a refund. Did you know that you can replace just the bulb inside the houseing for about 50$. It comes apart easily with a small screw driver.no soldering required. But when this one goes no more projectioin TV for me !

that's a good question - I don't know the answer but Contour says the life of the bulb is around 20 years but even then it has a lifetime warranty - I think the bulb will out last me :o} - I see LED light bulbs rated at 10,000 to 100,000 hours -- I really like mine and seems very well engineered

Their bulbs seem to carry a one to two year warranty - it varies. I received one that didn't work, they trusted me and simply sent a new one. As much as I've bounced these things around, they have stayed working. Surprising, as big and awkward as they are.

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.

I have heard the bulb will last about 2 years on the average before it has to be replaced. There is also a silver probe that must be replaced when it goes bad. A light will turn on when you have to replace that. I think that may be about 2 years as well. Of course, it depends if you are doing 3 loads per day or 1 load per week.
