Has anyone had these for very long? What kind of life expectancy could I expect?

I bought 20 of these, 10 in mid Sep 2013, 10 at the beginning of Oct 2013. These are the daylight LED lamps (6000 Kelvin) that are used in a large room with no windows. They have been on nearly 24 hours a day since installation (3000+ hours). I've only had one burn out. I plan to buy more for other applications.

I've only had mine for about 2 months, so I can't speak for how long they last. Fortunately, no issues thus far with them.

I've already had to replace 2 of them in a period of 2 months, I will not be buying these things again, stay away.

The four I used get used every day for many hours, on and off and they are still going strong...I think I read you get a lemon once and a while, but it still seemed worth the price. Best I can do fer ya...

I bought the 10 pack a year ago and there were 2 that burned out within the first few months. The others are now all going out one by one 1 year later.

Candidly, I don't know. Some folks have had them last a long time; other folks have had them die within a few months. I think it is obvious that the quality control and or the quality of parts used is questionable. I have had several months of an awful picture, and the first episode of an awful picture happened when it was about 2 years old. The bad picture lasted 2-3 months.

That's not an easy question to answer as I haven't worn any out yet! I would estimate that they would last for a number of years. I live in a 'Blast furnace' called Arizona and if they last a number of years here they should last a LONG time anywhere else!

I think it is a year. I have had mine for several months and not a hint of a problem except for the fact that I lost the instruction book. If you get this try to find a class on them.

Yes. I never had any problems with them and the expiration date is about a year in the future.

I expect they will last a very long time. I have another pair of JBL speakers (not this model) I have had for 20 years and they sound just as good as the day I bought them as far as I can tell. I have had this particular model about 4 years and they still sound great.

Not sure, I have only had mine for a short time but they are designed well and seem like they would last a long time with proper usage.

I bought a pair of these in late September. After about 150 miles of running something within them has given way and makes a noticeable rattling on the control (right ear) side.. They still work though, but just bear in mind that they are a consumable that will not last for years on end. Given that they are rechargeable, I figured I'd get about 18-24 solid months out of them, but sadly that may not be the case. I'll use them till they fail or if the rattling becomes overly obnoxious. I've used them in warm temps, freezing temps, light rain and snow and they work just fine. They aren't water/weatherproof, but given the physical breakdown I'll have no qualms against using them out in the elements. I bought a pair of these in late September.

I believe my last one lasted about 3 years. The first two lasted about 2 years each. I've been lucky.

I can't imagine that there's any lifespan, so to speak. They are rock solid and do not give the appearance of losing their structure through use or age.

I think they last a long long time - I had a of 24 that lasted over 2 years . . .

They are high/low. No idea how long the lifespan is. I haven't had them very long.

I don't know how often you use them but I have had some for up to 6 months and haven't any trouble with them. Hope this has been helpful. Thanks Bert

I have had mine for a while now, and they are still going strong. At least 5+ months.

Celeste, I currently own 6 of them and they are close to being 6 years old. However, I really don't anticipate they will last forever, I have read several reviews of units lasting as long as 15 years. If mine give out today, it's a cheap investment, and they work...

I have had mine for quite a while, and they are OK. Don't know if there is a "best.......date"

I am thinking about buying these lights, but I want to know if yours have lasted? Thanks for your time :)
