How long do the bulbs generally last?

I've had mine for about 10 years. I use it for 20-30 minutes almost every morning, six months of the year. I guess I still haven't hit the expiry point!

I have heard the bulb will last about 2 years on the average before it has to be replaced. There is also a silver probe that must be replaced when it goes bad. A light will turn on when you have to replace that. I think that may be about 2 years as well. Of course, it depends if you are doing 3 loads per day or 1 load per week.

i am currently using these in almost that exact fixture without any problems. you might find however (unless you set the motion timer to stay on a reasonable time when it is tripped) that the bulbs will not last as long as they would in a fixture that is turned on for a reasonable period of lighting time and then off. in my case the lamp is lit from approximately dusk to dawn continuously and they have lasted an extremely long period of time.

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

I bought these bulbs about 5 months ago. Still going strong. I wouldn't worry about it

These are Led's so these should last more than a halogen bulb. I say 5+ years maybe more!

I use these bulbs in a candle warmer that I use probably 3-4 times a week for about 3-8 hours. The bulbs last about 4-8 weeks in my experience depending on frequency of use.

These bulbs seem to last a long time. We've used 2 of these bulbs in the last 6 months in our kitchen fixture and we leave that light on for 8 hours every night. We were gone on vacation for 5 days and the lights were still working after being on constantly day and night.

They are LED so they should lasts for around 50,000 hours on. I have had them for 3 years. I have 12 lighs throughout my home. I have had 1 go bad in that time. The whole thing (light and speaker) went bad.

The bulbs stay cool when on. We have replaced approximately 90% of our bulbs in our home with LED's within the past 6-9 months.

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.

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.

The last one I bought only lasted about 6 months. I got it from Bulb World. I hope the one I just bought lasts a lot longer.

The average LED light lasts between 25,000-50,000 hours. In figuring this, if you use the lamp for an hour a day, every day, the bulbs will last over 68 years. There is also a 1 year warranty that comes with the lamp. If you would like to email the company, the address is: info@spheregadget.com and a representative will contact you within 24 hours, according to the site. PS...I Love mine!!

This is more a question about how long an LED bulb will last, which varies by manufacturer. Philips rates their HUE bulbs at about 15,000 hours whereas others claim over 25,000 hours. Suffice it to say that these will last you at least 5 years or longer compared to *maybe* a year with incandescents. That said, you might get more life out of the bulb itself because that 15,000 hour rating is the projected time at which the light will begin to dim and fade at about 70% of its original brightness. Finally the caveat here is that these bulbs also have WiFi connectivity albeit dedicated to their proprietary bridge, and the issue with embedded electronics is that, like your cell phone or computer, they will eventually start to slow down and even die. That is just a potential issue with having embedded electronics on the LED bulb itself.

I have mine in a regular light as well as a ceiling fan. I have not had a problem with any of them and I know they have been on for many hours. They seem to last as long as any regular lightbulb.

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
