What does "long life" translate into? How many hours are they good for?

I don't even remember when I bought these but all six are being used and all six are still burning. These seem to last longer than these new garish coiled light bulbs that supposedly last for months and months and the warm light that they give off is wonderfully relaxing.

I have used them about 5 hours a week and it has been 2 years and 9 months; they are still working. Just remember when installing them wear gloves.

A long time. They are built really good. Now the problem you will have is the battery. For long storage take the battery out of the housing. Keep it Dry and you should be able to use many times. I suggest you buy some extras batteries.

I would say AT LEAST 8 hours, but probably substantially longer. I accidentally left them on the whole night and in the morning they were still going (this was also after weeks of use-where they were on several hours a night). I'm only saying 8 to be on the safe side, and to ensure that they remain bright enough, etc.

I don't know. I hope 50,000 hours. I installed 15 of them 15 feet high in ceiling high hats. No problem, so far. Amazingly bright. Great color temperature for me.

LEDs should be good for 100,000 hours of use. If you left the lamp on continuously (which you won't), that's over 11 years. By then, I doubt you will be looking for replacement LEDs for this (by then) obsolete lamp.

The longer I have used them has been on transatlantic flights and they have never died on me, so I guess they go 9 to 10 hours at least.

Many hours/years from what I hear. I own 2 of them for awhile now. No issues.

They are designed to last approximately 30-45 days. However, I have seen customers that have gotten much more time out of them. An average usage time would be about 2 months.

They work good for me. To be honest I don't remember for how long thy are given, but my son uses his computer extensively and after 6 months, still works 4 hours mainly looking at videos on the net.

I haven't had mine very long so can't verify the information, but according to the specs it is supposed to last for 50,000 hours of use which works out to over 5 1/2 years of steady use. I don't expect something like this to last that long, but it would be a nice surprise.

good question... I guess you just buy another... they have a 25,000 hr life... mine are only on part of the time, even at 8 hrs a day that should be 8.5 yrs or so. $12 per yr not bad

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.

most last about 10hrs...however there are some that I've bought that were still hot the next morning..(activate at 8am and still warm next day same time)I only need them to last an 8 hr shift at work...I have arthritis in my hands & wrists and these help with the pain of keying on a computer all day...I use them in fingerless "gloves" as far as shelf life I buy a large box & use them 5 days a week..so I dont keep them for months...they do not activate until opened ...

I just looked into normal bulbs vs XtraVision bulbs. The normal bulbs have a lifetime rating of 1100 hours specified on the package. The XtraVision bulbs listed 160 hours as the rated life. Just doing the math, if I have to commute home from work after dark, which is a 45 minute drive, 160 hours works out to about 42 weeks, or less than a year. The normal bulbs would last 5+ years. Having slightly brighter headlights in exchange for vastly more maintenance seems like a poor tradeoff for most people. I see the Amazon description says the life is 850 hours, which is not what the package says.

I'm not sure entirely, but the computer will complain if they are too old (planned obsolescence). They have lasted for anywhere from 1.5 to 2.5 years has been my experience.
