Hi Dennis;i,ve been using those bulbs for two years now and logged 24000kms of canadian climate with no problems.Hoping it helps you make your choice

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.

According to Philips, they have the same lifespan as normal H13 bulbs, due to the higher capsule pressures and different gasses used, despite running at higher temperatures (and thus greater brightness) due to the smaller capsule (and correspondingly smaller filament running at that higher temperature). Note that H13 is fundamentally limited by the socket design and getting brightness beyond that will require going to a different headlight housing capable of doing H4 or HID. (Please don't put HID into a headlight housing designed for H4 or H13, that will blind everybody on the road because the housing design is wrong for HID and is really really rude, as well as being illegal).

I have run these bulbs in 2 vehicles. in my first jeep they lasted for a year until i sold the vehicle and took the bulbs out. they are now in my eclipse for 7 months. still strong. I feel they will last 2 years or more. Also heat matters to bulbs. I live in Florida which is hot and have travelled through texas and the south when it is even hotter with these bulbs. no failures. My stock GE and Sylvania bulbs on my first jeep only lasted 6 months 2 times before failing so I got these phillips extremes if that is a good comparison. by the way the bulbs are engineered to give a deeper and wider pattern than stock or even silverstar type bulbs.

forget about this. If you realy want high effencency go HID. You dont have to pay a lot. The cheapest one worth high price tag. I've tried both.

Ours has a countdown on it. Very clearly labeled in days. So right now, for example, it says 328 on the screen.... Representing the amount of bulb life, in days, left. Hope this helps!

I think if you have the option to pick just the basic 9006 bulb, try that instead of the HB4. If you don't have the option, I can't really help with this answer. Srry. Maybe someone else can. Good luck.

Not sure about the warranty. Might be 90 days. Bulb has been working perfectly now for about 120 days. Had previoulsy purchased one of the knockoff bulbs and it lasted less than 6 months. This phillips is a better replacement.

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

The first one I received lasted a week they send me a new one and have not had any problems the life of the bulb should be 4-6 years depending how much you watch TV and dust your tv

It's an LED on a circuit board, thus not practical for replacement by the average person, even though its accessible. I'm presuming the life of the unit would be something like 20000 hours (2.25 years continuous), based on other LED bulbs, but that's just an educated guess.

I recently bought this product yes its the bulb and housing all in one. warranty I think 90 days not sure though . Mine still working bought in June

Have had mine about 8 months and have not had to replace the bulb. I am not sure this is enough time to really evaluate its life span. It is a nice little flashlight, well worth the cost.

Warranty is 2 years for the unit but only 1 year for the bulb. Seems that the bulbs are the weak link for these products and this one lasts for about 4500 hours if you have set for max brightness but will last for about 10,000 hours if it's used on a milder setting. Here are the exact details: 10,000/6500/6000/4500 Hours (Education cycle/ECO+/Dynamic/Bright) 190W Overall I'm happy with my unit and haven't had any trouble.

Hello,The life expectancy is about one year based on your usage. We sell the replacement bulbs however you can get them online from other retailers as well. Thank you.

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.

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!!!

Google is your friend, sorry Cher I wish I was more help to you. I can tell you that this is a high quality bulb and the last one lasted almost 7 years.

I am not sure how long the warrant is for. I think 90 days. I have about 750 hours on this bulb and is still running strong. I will definitely be buying from this seller again. Just make sure you do not touch the glass at all on the bulb. I hope that helps you out.

When I first bought it, the warranty was a year and that bulb lasted 1 year and 7 months. Just replaced with the same bulb after trying a "longer lasting" bulb that went out after 2 weeks.

By the way, the bulb in it is rated for 100,000 hours. Probably about 10,000 years for me!! ;-)
