I have a timer on my tank so the sterilizer cuts off when the hood light goes out after 10 hours each day. My bulb lasted a year. Home Depot sells replacement uv bulbs for about 10 dollars.

It's a special bulb, which can be replaced. I'm am still using the same bulb that came with the lamp. About 4 years now, I believe.

Never had to replace it, but were able to find bulbs at home depot for the unit this one replaced, so I would suggest going on line to homedepot.com to checking to see if they are available locally. By the way, we have had no problems with this lamp.

The LED bulb is claimed to have 20,000 hours life span. I have used for two years and it still works fine. There is bulb sold on Ebay and 12 are sold, so I guess some one did need to replace them.

You'll have to ask them. All I can say is the bulb has worked perfectly for almost a year of daily use.

Not sure, but I have carried mine for almost a year now and use it several times a day. Have had no problems with the bulb.

I don't recall after how long I had to change the bulb, but one, I do not keep it on all day at need. I have the lamp at my desk at work, so it is on for 8 1/2 hours a day, 5 days a week. The bulb lasts for quite some time, at least a year I believe before you have to change the bulb.

(This is for KDS60A2000) Go to menu SETTINGS>SETUP>LAMP REPLACEMENT and enter YES under "Did you replace the bulb?" and you will be good for about 3 more years of average use.

I've had mine about 2 years so far still original bulb. I sue it almost daily anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours

Hmmm, good question. I haven't had to replace the bulb. So, I don't really know.

I don't know the frequency.. But it is a pleasant.. though bright, white. Not harsh. Very similar to the 1141 bulbs I replaced. I hope this helps.

I seem to have to replace mine every 18 months or so. Really depends on how much tv you watch.

You can replace the bulb if your handy but you have to cut the wires and replace the crimped wire attachments. Ive had two bulbs go. The problem I see is a design flaw that doesn't protect the bulb from splattering. Halogen bulbs are very sensitive to oils. Both times it has burned out after my wife cooked bacon. Loved using it but until they fix that issue its going to be tough to keep a bulb in it for long

Amazon sells the replacement bulbs. The bulbs last quite a while. I keep my lamps on for up to 12 hours a day and haven't had to replace a bulb yet in the 6 months that I have been using them.

They are supposed to never need replacing, run for hundreds of hours. there is not one bulb but four groups of 3 small led lights surrounnding the magnifying lens. I use mine every day , and have had no problems.

From previous experience I had to change mine every 12 months. The nice feature about these units is that you can change the batterywithout taking the unit down from the ceiling. The little pop open door on the face makes changing batteries a snap !
