Lamp lasted less than 6 months

This lamp lasted less than 6 months, with low utilization. Very disappointed . I guess that is the one month warranty statement.

I love the lamp but after the 1st time I unplugged it something went wrong with the cord ~ So I had to order a new cord for it.
Less than 6 months before it needed something replaced.  Thank was a let down.

Started out good and then not so good. After 6 - 8 months the lamp began intermittent flickering. It has become steadily worse dimming and brightening. Wrote the company but there is only a 30 day warranty on the 70 dollar item. I will be looking elsewhere for another unit like this soon.
It is the micro rocker switch that causes the dimming, flicker, blanked out, flicker. Cut out the rocker switch. Unfortunate that the only replacement for this micro switch is somewhere in China.  Had to use an oversized rocker.

The lamp I installed is already going out. It has only been a month. This is a substandard product as the previous lamp lasted for 7 years.

I've owned by my Sony KDS for about six years and during that time I've replaced the lamp three times. I thought I'd take a chance on this one considering it was about a 1/3 of the price. However this lamp lasted about four months with about 4 - 8 hours use a day. I won't buy it again. This time I'll spend the extra money and buy one that is an authenticate Sony/Phillips replacement lamp with housing they last closer to two years with the same use.

I like this lamp, but its light bulb has a very short life span.  Two went out in the last six months, and they are really hard to find and replace.  So it is not worth the money or energy in my view.

DO NOT BUY THIS LAMP!!!!! I purchased this lamp on Aug. 1 after reviewing several posts on this lamp as to it's not sagging & staying where you move it. It sags, the base has broken and it is now in the garbage. Less than 4 months use.

I enjoyed the lamp while it worked. I was supposed to get the one with a battery backup, but I didn't, which didn't turn out to be that big a deal because I didn't move the lamp from it's spot on my work table. The light is okay, not as bright as I'd hoped, but decent enough for a cheap lamp. My problem is that it died in under a year, definitely not near the 50,000 hours it claims it'll last. If you need a cheap lamp, it serves that purpose, but don't expect it to last for long.

I bought this lamp to provide additional light for me while I sew, and also to provide magnification for doing small detailed stitching and stitch removal. I used it for a total of maybe 25 hours over a period of about 18 months. Then one day, it made a loud popping sound and began to smoke. I carefully unplugged it.
Apparently the ballast failed. My husband, who is very handy with electrical equipment took it apart to see if it could be repaired (because I really liked this lamp in terms of lighting and magnification).
He found 5 cold soldered joints and electrolytic capacitors that more or less disintegrated. He said he had never seen such shoddy construction in a simple printed circuit board assembly. He is still trying to salvage it, but we will probably end up junking it. Too bad.

It worked great until it didn't. It has an estimated life of 10,000 hours. This one only lasted for 6 months of very limited use each day. I am hopeful that the seller will replace it until warranty and that this particular bulb was defective and not the entire design. I had much better luck with the "Brite Innovations 6-Watt LED Filament Candelabra Light Bulb". All things considered, I would go with that instead - it is brighter and still works wonderfully.

I recently replaced this lamp in my projector and while my prior lamp had the same brightness and intensity through out its almost three years of service.  This lamp has already dropped in brightness and seems to flicker once it warms up in less than 6 months of use.

This lamp has a very light base and falls over all the time. After two months something got loose or a cable broke inside and the slightest knock on the table turned it off.

I can not recommended this lamp at all, finally threw it in the trash after 6 months of frustrating me.

Bulb did not even last 6 months.....will try to get exchange and see if bulb was possibly defective.
I did like the brighter light - so hoping I just have a defective bulb.

I have owned two of these lamps, the first one lasted over a year before it quit working,  I thought it was just a fluke that it quit working so I order a second lamp.  The second lamp quit working after only three weeks.  Yes, I did check the bulbs, the problem seems to be with the circuit board located in the base.  The seller said that they had three other lamps that stop working in the same week that I called.  I did get a refund for the second lamp.  It is my belief that there is a manufacturing flaw in the circuit boards.  That is to bad because I really liked this lamp when it worked. If I could locate the manufacturer I would see if I could could get a replacement circuit board,

I am going to have to replace it again and I doubt I will get three months out of the bulb
This is the second one I have bought in less than a year.. picture is already darkening up.
any suggestion on a better quality lamp.
