what is the life expectancy of the bulb...how many hours?

The package says it has a 10yr warranty based on 6hr/day use so that's over 20,000 hours as others have said.

"25,000-hour lifetime compared to about 1,000 hours for typical incandescent." Per the manufacturer Data Sheet.

When I was doing the research I recall it said 20, 000 hours or 20 years at an average use of 3 hours daily. The warranty is for 10 years.

20,000 hours or the explain it as 20 years using 3 hours a day. If I recall correctly it has 10 year warranty or 10,000 hours. Greetings

22.8 yrs. or 25,000 hrs. This info is in the Lighting Facts photo provided.

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.

It's based on 3/hrs of day of use, which is 1,095 hours/year, or about 22.83 years. As with any product, using it more or less frequently will extend/reduce the life.In my own case, I've used three of these for more than 3 hours a day for 2.5 years or so, and have not had any issues so far.Also, the lifetime quoted assumes you follow the directions (i.e., don't install this in a *fully* enclosed fixture as the heat buildup will rapidly degrade the LED).

Hi Ronnie, the lifespan of this bulb is estimated at 50,000 hours. This includes lumen depreciation and other factors. Most high quality LED bulbs are rated by Energy Star at 30,000 to 35,000. Thanks!

Usually new bulbs have a total of 900 hrs but by the time they reach 800 they have lost a lot of life ... I change mine every 800 so it depends on your preference !

The Amazon page I am looking at has an image of the bulb's ratings label, and it says 31.9 years at 3 hours a day. That would likely be about four years full time use since heat is probably not much a contributor with a bulb this small. I suspect they would really last much longer.

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

If you are asking how many hours the bulb is rated for, then it's 3,000 hours I believe. 4,000 on eco mode. I have about 500 hours on mine.

As far as the life of the bulb, I have no idea. But LEDs have a long life, much, much longer than a conventional bulb. The bulb is not replaceable in these

Does not appear to be replaceable very easily. But this shouldn't be a problem because when I look at other LED lamp descriptions on the Net, the ones that give a lifetime spec generally say they're rated for 20,000-50,000 hours of usage.

I have had one of the philips LED bulbs inside a fully enclosed fixture for about six months now (I believe it is 429258). It will surely shorten the life, but it remains to be seen if it just shortens it from 7 years to 3.5 years, or if it is about to give up the ghost any day now.

I dont know about the particular details, but I use it for a few hours so its not worth switching out a bulb for that time.

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.

It lasted only an hour or two before burning out. I would advise you not to purchase this bulb.

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.

Cant say on the new replacements I bought; they have 1 and 8 months respectively on them. One original bulb lasted about 10 months, and the other 3.

I have no idea. It worked when I installed it and is still going . I believe most of these type bulbs last close to a couple of years depending on individual use.
