How long does the bulb last?

I just purchased the lamps about 8 months ago and the bulbs are still fine. Really depends on how long you have them lit so it's very hard to answer that question. I did buy a back up bulb since I use one lamp more than the other. Trust me you won't worry about replacing the bulb once you see how well the lamp works. That is why I bought two and three of my neighbors bought one each too.

I use the lamp all the time as a reading lamp. It is virtually on all day & night. I've had it for over a year & it hasn't gone out yet.

I don't remember the last time I replaced one, so I'd guess at least one year.

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

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.

Our original bulb lasted almost 6 years and my husband uses the lamp every evening. We just bought another new lamp and hope for the same life span. We love these lamps!

Have 3 lamps and use daily and have had them 9-12 months and have not had a bulb burn out. Knock on wood!! Very pleased with lamps.

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.

I've only had the lamp for about a month but I've had no problem with the bulb.

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.

Mine have lasted over 2 years thus far, 24/7 usage and I have two units. I highly reCommend this, you aren't going to find a bulb that will last half as long, either way. It's a piece of mind.

RESET the bulb timer in GENERAL SETTINGS>LAMP REPLACEMENT. This should have been done when you put the new bulb in back in Feb. A new bulb should last at least one year running 12 hours per day, and typically longer for sets that are not on that much. The warning is triggered when the bulb's "on" time approaches 10,000 hours. Some bulbs last longer than 10,000 hours, but most should be replaced around 7000 hrs for optimum color and brightness.

Its a L.E.D. Bulb rated for 50000 hours, if you use it 6 hours a day that 25 years of life. Most likely will out live us.ThanksBill

I have had mine for over a year and use it routinely. I have yet had to replace a bulb.

No. It's an LED that's soldered to the wiring. But the LED should last around 10,000 hours, so replacing the bulb should not be an issue.

I don't use the bulbs that much, But I have some over several years......... They do last a long time....... but I'm not able to get you an hour count...........

I would hope it would last more than a month. I have owned mine for three weeks. I don't know about the bulb. Maybe we should go to the web site and ask some questions. I love the way it looks really modern but I can't afford to buy a new one each month. Good luck. Jimmy Morris

How long does the battery last if I never turn it off? Also what kind of bulb does it take?

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

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

Not quite a year. It depends I think on the air circulation around the bulb. The less the circulation the hotter the bulbs get and the shorter they last. Ta

The package says 2000 hours. For the most part we have found that to be true. We have 18 of these in our new home. Occassionally you will get a dud. Just call Phillips for a replacement bulb.

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.

That depends on which bulb burns out. But an LED bulb lasts thousands of hours.

Mine lasted a year, but I have never seen this type of bulb before, but i replaced mine with a regular bulb and it worked fine.
