How long does this bulb last? Any longer than a normal incandescent bulb? Thanks.

Bought mine as a porch light that has an automatic darkness sensor. Installed 08/2013 and it just died 04/2015 and I would guess it was on at least 10 hours a night. So definitely a good buy and lasted longer than the 3,000 hours they state.

Haven't had mine long enough to know. I do not anticipate they will last any longer, and they definitely are not as bright. But they sure are pretty!!

Running one for 6 months with no issues. But they are more physically fragile.

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.

Cant say on the new replacements I bought; they have 1 and 8 months respectively on them. One original bulb lasted about 10 months, and the other 3.

The LED bulb in mine lasted about 4 hours. It just went dead; the switch is ok; tried new batteries, no use. Dorcy has no replacement parts for it.

We have had several of these bulbs last years. It really depends on how often they get turned off and on since that is the most wear on them. To give an example we have some of these that are hooked up to a motion sensor and some that are on all the time for security. The security ones have lasted up 3-4 years versus maybe 2 years with the motion sensor because of the frequent on and off. Hope this was somewhat helpful.

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.

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.

I bought mine from bulb direct. It lasted 3 days. They have a good return policy. They shipped a new one and it is working fine. Hope this helps

I have 12 fixtures with this bulb. Some are on continuously and last about two years. Some are on intermittently and last about 3 or 4 years.

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

Hi there. I got mine lamp last March and the bulb that came with it just burned out about 2 weeks ago. So a solid year for me and I've used it at least 8 hours a day, Monday-Friday in my home office, where I work full-time. Easy to change the bulb, too. The cover snaps right off and you just pop it out and plug in a replacement.

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

Hey there, ive purchased a cheap one and this one and I believe it may be another issue shortening the life of these bulbs... Maybe the fan ? Maybe excess dirt? Both of mine only lasted about 10 months (max) also.

The first one I put in lasted two weeks, the second one has lasted 5 months now. These are not factory replacement bulbs. Spend the extra money and get the Phillips replacement bulb these should last at least 2 years.

When I first bought it, the warranty was a year and that bulb lasted 1 year and 7 months. Just replaced with the same bulb after trying a "longer lasting" bulb that went out after 2 weeks.

I installed the bulb about 3 months ago in the hallway of my apartment building. I have subsequently moved so I'm not sure if it is still working. Sorry!

Sorry, no idea at all. I should have thought of that but I assume this kind of bulb lasts for a long time
