What is the life of the bulb? How often does it need to be replaced?

If you don't leave it on for long periods of time the bulb life is extended.

The bulb that came with the device lasted surprisingly short -one week. Granted, I was using it about two hours a day at different times. I ordered new ones, and I'm being more conservative with their use. I still have not changed the first replacement bulb after a month of use. However, as I wrote, I have used it considerably less than the first one -I'm in PT so that I need to use infrared much less. It is also possible that the one that came with the device had been used before (the box was not sealed and there weren't any instruction pamphlets). The replacements were well packaged.

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

Not sure, but I have carried mine for almost a year now and use it several times a day. Have had no problems with the bulb.

The first one I put in lasted two weeks, the second one has lasted 5 months now. These are not factory replacement bulbs. Spend the extra money and get the Phillips replacement bulb these should last at least 2 years.

The BlueMD bulb is rated to last 10,000 hours, which equates to about 30,000 treatments at 20 minutes each. We generally put the life expectancy of the bulb at around 5 years, but it will obviously last much longer if you go by the hour rating on the bulb. Also, should you ever need a replacement bulb, we sell them to existing customer by contacting us directly. Thanks!

Oh forgot, don't touch the bulb, with your fingers, use clean gloves or paper towels, that`s properly why your bulb went out to begin with. I have some there lasted for 8 - 9 years.

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.

Not sure about replacement bulb but we've had ours for several years and never needed to replace it.

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.

If the bulb gets damaged or burns out, it is replaceable. So far I have not had any need to replace the bulb.

It is supposed to last 5000 hours. Considering it's a $10 light bulb, I doubt there is a replacement warranty.

I would hope it would last more than a month. I have owned mine for three weeks. I don't know about the bulb. Maybe we should go to the web site and ask some questions. I love the way it looks really modern but I can't afford to buy a new one each month. Good luck. Jimmy Morris

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.

Mine lasted a year, but I have never seen this type of bulb before, but i replaced mine with a regular bulb and it worked fine.

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.

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 not had to replace any bulbs. It is my understanding that they last for many, many ours.
