I've got about 75 to 100 hours on mine. I only have manual headlights though, so they don't get used that much. I had Sylvanias in a different car, and they lasted just about 4 years. I'm guessing I got about 350-375 hours out of them, which was good for me. I don't expect these bright lights to last often because of the temperature of the light. I have heard from plenty of people saying they only last about 1 year, but they all have constant-on headlights.If the headlights are always on on your car, I'd say you can get a year or so out of them under so-called "normal" driving conditions. Personally, I liked my Sylvanias more. To me, they were brighter. I've got about 75 to 100 hours on mine. I only have manual headlights though, so they don't get used that much.

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 am going on 2 months now, no problems. I used these in a 9006 bulb and only had one burn out in a year. Great quality.

I never had issues with the bulbs i always purchased from inovated and all of them are more than a year old, warranty i dont know but they are cheap so I just buy new ones.

Absolutely do not buy these bulbs or anything from this company. Over 100 bulbs I purchased. Mine have been installed for about 12 months and I've replaced 40% of them. They are scamming people. I ended up buying Sylvanias from Home Depot online. Good deal at around $3.50 each when purchased by the case.

Melted wow lol are you using the reccomended bulbs? I have two running 12hrs a day with uvb 5.0 fluorescent compacts bulbs (26W each) and no problem.

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.

I tried looking for extra bulbs myself. I called the manufacture and they told me these bulbs are no longer made. So just a heads up, whatever you see on amazon is probably all that's left. Unless you find used ones on eBay or something

Hi Jane, This is a brand new machine and I hope I don't need to replace them for along time. They are flouresent so should last for years. Based on the last one my wife had the bulbs out lasted the sliding mechanism to adjust the lighting. She has owned several of these over theyears and never had to replace the bulbs.Hope that answers the concerns. Please give me a helpful vote if it did.

I have had them in for months and it still is going strong. I seriously spent a fortune on the bulbs and all they did was burn out. I don't know but since I put the new one in they have been great!! Enjoy all the money you're going to save.

Not sure of exactly how long but I've had mine for a few months now and still going strong.. one of the keys to longer lasting is clean out the dust from the bulb area. My last bulb lasted years. It also helps that you buy a quality product as well. Lesser quality bulbs do burn out quick! Experienced that already. Hope this helps some

In my experience they last as long as other bulbs typically last. Mine were still working great and strong when we sold my truck.... it hadn't been years since the install but there was no sign of them going out anytime soon. (I think it had been 1-2 years since the bulb swap out from factor bulbs)

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.

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.

Sorry, but despite the fact that one of my bulbs burnt out after 8 months of use, I did not want to have it replaced as I wanted to go back to OEM Sylvania bulbs, since it was so hard to replace the bulbs in a 2003 Honda Accord and the Sylvanias lasted 7 years. Good Luck.

As common when you buy "high performance" bulbs, they'll usually have a shorter life span. I can personally attest to the fact that these did not last very long at all. Refer to my review. I was very, very disappointed that they didn't last a year.

Contact the seller or the manufacturer, they are supposed to last a lot longer than that. I did read from other reviewers that they had problems being used in enclosed light fixtures, that they burned out quickly. Mine is used in an open, recessed (can) light fixture in the ceiling. Some also tried using it for a fixture that had a dimmer switch and this is not made for that, and theirs burned out as well. I hope I helped. Mine has been in for over 5 months, hopefully I won't have to eat my words.
