The approx $99 replacement lamp seems as bright as the previous SONY/SEARS lamp replacement. Haven't tried the ~ $ 50 lams again.

I don't remember. It seems like it should have lasted at least 2 years.It turns out our first replacement likely failed because the lamp COOLING FAN failed.Since the cooling fan is fixed, we have only tried the more expensive 2014 replacement lamp, and have not re-tested the previous two $50 lamps.INFo: "4 blinks" of the red LED means that the FANS need replacement.There are supposed to be 4, but we only found 2 and replaced the 4 inch fan only.

Sorry, I don't know the hour rating on the lamp but it is just as bright as the factory lamp.

I don't know the specs on the lamp but it is as bright as the factory lamp (in fact, it appears brighter to me) and we have had ours in use for over a year.

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.

No doubt, in the product description there should be a coma between the "50000 Hrs Lifespan" and Guaranteed. I don't know any manufacture that guarantees their lamps for the duration of their rated life and would not expect that to be the case with these LED's Lamps. That, of course is only my opinion - for what it is worth!!!

Hi, Donald. The bulb is bright and is very energy efficient, however the life is shorter than most standard candelabra based bulbs. It says the life is supposed to be 3000 hours . . . I have purchased three and of the three, two of them lasted less than 500 hours. Pretty pathetic for a bulb in this price range. The electricity saved does not balance the cost of the bulb. In my experience, the lamp is a poor choice.

According to the User's Guide, in the Normal Power Consumption mode, lamp life is up to about 4,000 hours; in the ECOPower Consumption mode, lamp life is up to about 5000 hours. Lamp life will vary depending upon mode selected, environmental conditions, and usage. Brightness decreases over time.

the box says 830 per unit, not sure if that means each light on the unit.I can say it is very bright! Also says 35,000 hrs. LED lamp life, 3000K. Possibly visit www.lightingfacts.com for more label reference guide.

I ran mine for 2.5 hrs on the brightest mode, just to see what it can do. Didn't see any drop in intensity and still had battery left. How much don't know. My other lights are over $200.00 each so was real impressed with how long it lasted so far.

What warranty? It is junk! Do not buy! Mine only worked once for a few hours and stopped working! Only buy from the dealer they offer a warranty, but the lamp will out last the warranty by a long shot! https://mitsuparts.3diamonds.com

I would recommend you make sure you are using the eco mode. I got over 4300 hours out of my lamp (bought it in 2011 and it's my only "tv")and it didn't even go bad. I knew i was gonna be gone for over a year so I changed the bulb for my wife. I bought a cheaper one just to check and so far it has over 1700 hours on it. might be worth a shot. make sure when you install the lamp you don't touch I the glass with your fingers.

I have my flahlight for approx. 10 to 12 weeks & still have the same batteries in that were in when I purchased it. I only use it for inspecting my school bus in the early mornings, when it is pitch dark. It gets used for approx. 3 to 4 mins. at a time. The light at present, is as bright now as it was when I got it. My boss bought me another light for the same job, for xmas. I love my TerraLux TlF -300 much better.

Not surprised you're having issues with your electrified product Fay. Less than 6 months ago I bought two electrified lamps, both are burned out. The first with 1411 hours on it and the second with 1129. I learned my lesson. Here's a copy of my log sheet: If you have a mitsubishi tv you can check your lamp hours by pressing menu 2470 on your remote. Electrified Lamps: Lamp Hours 12-25-2013 34718 Replaced 03/30/2014 hrs on lamp: 1411 (36129) Replaced 06/11/2014 hrs on Lamp: 1129 (37258) DLP OSRAM Lamp now in place- very pretty :) If you want to make sure you're not wasting your money, buy from dlplampsource.com

Not long. Seems like mine was dead after 4-5 hours of use over several months. Never replaced the battery so I've been stuck with a white, plastic bulb for years now. Wouldn't purchase again.

I use a 40 watt bulb, and it casts a nice warm glow. I have to warn you that I bought one for myself and one sent to a friend. Both lamps were very poorly packaged and cheaply made. I sent mine back for a replacement, and even the replacement was a bit damaged. I kept it; it's a good enough lamp for the price, but know that you may have to re-thread the lampshade or iron out some dents. That said, I've had the lamp for a while and it has performed well and if I turn the dented side to the wall, it looks pretty nice too.

Not long, about 3 to 4 min. I have it in the garage. The problem is when I work in the garage, it turns off after a few min and I have to move around to turn it back up again. May need an alternative light source.

It uses an LED lamp, so it should last upwards of 50,000 hours. You probably won't ever have to replace it; at 4 hours of use every day it will last you over 30 years.

I have no way of testing the actual lumens but it is the second brightest light I have next to my nitecore mh25. It is plenty bright and it will run for about 2 hours on high.
