How long do the bulbs last?

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

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.

These are in my kitchen and I've had them in for about four months and they are still working fine. My kitchen is small and windowless so it's dark and they are on for four or five hours a day. I imagine they'll last as long as the ones I bought at Lowe's (about a year) but these are a much better price.

I would say they are long lasting, I have been using mine for a night light in my hallway, so it's on from 8 pm - 3 am every day - for the past 6 mos, and the bulb is still going strong.

These bulbs are for my track lighting in my basement kitchen and I must admit that sometimes they are forgotten and left on all night. So far the bulbs appear to be just as good as those that cost $7.95 each. I have only replaced one since I bought them about a year ago. Truth to tell, I think the one that burned out may have been one that was already in the track.

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.

On average, LED bulbs last 50,000 hrs which translates to a little less than 6 years of continuous use. Odds are, you're not going to use the light 24/7 so it'll last considerably longer than that. I've been told 25 years, but time will tell. They're very bright. Bought a dimmer switch compatible with LEDs and that solved that.

I have had for half a year. I don't leave the light on very long so I can't truthfully answer.Love them,though!

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.

I've had a bulb last six months and I've had some last a few weeks. Most last at least a few months. They are great working bulbs and put off better heat then others, they are just hit and miss on how long they can last.

I have not used for long period. But, I hope them to last very long. Originally, installed bulbs worked for about 10 years as under cabinet lighting.

Hi Jane, This is a brand new machine and I hope I don't need to replace them for along time. They are flouresent so should last for years. Based on the last one my wife had the bulbs out lasted the sliding mechanism to adjust the lighting. She has owned several of these over theyears and never had to replace the bulbs.Hope that answers the concerns. Please give me a helpful vote if it did.

I still have the 10k bulbs that came with it, and 2 zoo med plant bulbs. I've heard that you should replace them every 6 months, and recently noticed that one of my bulbs is getting quite dim. I'm going to personally replace two at a time when they start to go out.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This is an LED light fixture...the bulbs last over 10,000 hours. That's much more than any other type of bulb or fixture.

One bulb lasted 2 years and the other about 2.5. The OEM bulbs I have back in have lasted about 13 years and are still going. They are not nearly as bright.

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.

Depends how often you use it. Mine lasted seven years and this is a pack of ten bulbs. You'll never use them all!

Not much. I can't tell the difference and I leave it on all night. All bulbs still work
