What is the standard life of these bulbs?

Unfortunately, it doesnt appear to be long. This is my second set of bulbs, and only lasted 3 months. If you dont havd your reciept as proof for warrenty purposes, you're going to spend a mint keeping this thing going. So disappointed...

my daughter has 1 of these heaters and has used it as her only heat source in northern pa in a trailer and has used it 3 years to date

The life of these 3 bulbs was two winter seasons. The Edenpure unit was used only in the evenings and night as ancillary heat.

My 1st set only lasted 1 season. Still on the 1st season of 2nd set. Hopefully they'll work when we start using again next year.

One bulb lasted 2 years and the other about 2.5. The OEM bulbs I have back in have lasted about 13 years and are still going. They are not nearly as bright.

mine lasted less than 7 months / 10,000 miles. I was really disappointed because I liked the bulbs when they worked. I contacted Philips customer service and they told me tough luck. I've vowed to never buy Philips again and to share my bad experience as often as possible.

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.

This is more a question about how long an LED bulb will last, which varies by manufacturer. Philips rates their HUE bulbs at about 15,000 hours whereas others claim over 25,000 hours. Suffice it to say that these will last you at least 5 years or longer compared to *maybe* a year with incandescents. That said, you might get more life out of the bulb itself because that 15,000 hour rating is the projected time at which the light will begin to dim and fade at about 70% of its original brightness. Finally the caveat here is that these bulbs also have WiFi connectivity albeit dedicated to their proprietary bridge, and the issue with embedded electronics is that, like your cell phone or computer, they will eventually start to slow down and even die. That is just a potential issue with having embedded electronics on the LED bulb itself.

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.

They are LED so they should lasts for around 50,000 hours on. I have had them for 3 years. I have 12 lighs throughout my home. I have had 1 go bad in that time. The whole thing (light and speaker) went bad.

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

I have no idea. It worked when I installed it and is still going . I believe most of these type bulbs last close to a couple of years depending on individual use.

It is my understanding that these bulbs are not replaceable. I would call Lithonia tech support and asked them. Also, take a picture and go back to who sold it to you and see if they can help. It is also my understanding that they are supposed to last for 30,000 hours which is about 8 years at 10 hours per day.

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

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.

The 30,000 hours is actually projected to be 18.26 years based on average use of 3 hours/day. I am guessing the company is relatively new and has not been around for 30 plus years like Phillips or GE to offer a lifetime or 20 year warranty so they are being conservative/realistic with what they can honor. Again, just pure conjecture. I have had the bulbs for 6 months and they still work fine.

It is brighter but short life. For me, average about 1 year and half per bulb.

The specified lifetime I believe is 10,000 hours under normal usage. I'm not sure if "Base Up" is considered normal usage. I say this because the electronics are in the base, heat rises, and this may degrade the normal lifetime of the bulb. Be sure there is plenty of airflow around the base and the bulb.

Hi Dennis,These bulbs are supposed to have the same life as a standard H13 bulb, Since this is my first time using these I only know how long they are "supposed" to last. For 30bucks you can't go wrong.. I am very happy with these bulbs.

I am not sure how long they last as I installed them to use as reverse lights to shine on my trailer hitch and they work great. The bulb can't be replaced and if it ever blows you will have to replace whole light.
