Does this bulb have a long life ?

According to the Philips auto website these have about 1/2 the life of the standard bulb, but the same life as the Crystal vision and xxtra vision series of bulbs. The standard bulbs in cars are typically a long life version which makes them lower output and more yellow to get that long life (from an incandescent bulb everything is a trade off, ie life vs brightness).

So far they have done very well in my Tundra. I have had them since July 2013 with no issues.

I only have had them in my truck for a few months so far so good but can't really give an answer to longevity

I've used this bulb several times and I would say it lasts longer than the Silverstars I used to use. However they only lasted about 3 months this last time... I'm hoping it was a fluke. Be careful not to touch the bulb with your bare skin because that will affect longevity. I drive a 2013 WRX by the way.

Not really sure it's my first time installing this bulb but the spread of light is not to bad and the color is not too good it's more into yellowish.

I had it on my car for less than 5 minutes. Light output is no better than my oem. I was expecting a lot from this with the price and quality but was very dissappointed. I returned it immediately. If you want long life bulbs stick with oem.

I've always just picked the bulb up and inserted it into the socket. No problem!I bought several of these some months ago; so far none have died on me after being on 5-15 hours a day

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

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've had a bulb last six months and I've had some last a few weeks. Most last at least a few months. They are great working bulbs and put off better heat then others, they are just hit and miss on how long they can last.

It is supposed to last 5000 hours. Considering it's a $10 light bulb, I doubt there is a replacement warranty.

One year. This is the original OEM bulb that Sony used in their projection TV. I got around 3 years life span.

The first one I received lasted a week they send me a new one and have not had any problems the life of the bulb should be 4-6 years depending how much you watch TV and dust your tv

No, the bulb life is 30,000 hours. The previous review read/typed that number incorrectly. Just look at the link provided and it will note the bulb's life. This is the quote from the UK link site: "Super Long Lasting LED Lamp Unlike conventional lamp-based projectors, LG HS200 LED lamp can last upto 30,000 hours. 4 hours a day, lasts 20 years."

So far bulb has worked perfectly (also brighter than old bulb). Very happy so far but has only been 6 months. Though I don't expect any problems with bulb life, I can't say for sure how long it will last. Warranty info should be shown on item description.

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 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.

I do not see the estimated life anywhere in the advertising, I have had this bulb last as long as 4 years at an average of 12 hours per day.

I cannot tell you anything about replacement because I have installed eight of these same GU10 replacementsand never received any bad bulbs. As for life span, I have not had any failures in 1 year of usage.

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

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.

I recently purchased this product, so I cannot say from personal experience, but from what I've read,the lcd bulbs are supposed to last 20 years or longer.
