I don't know this is the first set of Philips. Had them just a couple of weeks after finally getting a complete set that worked. I had the Silver Star before and got only about 2 years out of them after getting 12 years from the OEM.

Mine lasted exactly 6 months. I bought the pair March 17th, 2014. On September 15th, 2014, one of them went out.But since I like how bright they are, I'll just buy another set and keep the spare for when the next one goes out.

it is very hard to say , depends on the quality of the bulbs filaments during assembly , it also depends if your vehicle suffers from voltage spikes from the alternatori got nearly 9 months out of my last set , sylvania bulbs were even worse for reliability , the only way to ensure the longest life from these bulbs is to connect a quality made DC voltage regulator between the battery and the circuit breaker

I installed these in November, 2013, and one of them is already burned out. I won't buy them again.

It all depends on how long you are utilizing them. I've only had them for a little over 1 month and they are working perfectly.

Anywhere from 6-12 months of normal use. I believe they are rated for ~200 hours. These aren't "long life" bulbs. They're on the opposite end of the scale, "high performance".

The Chromolux Full Spectrum bulbs will last 3-7 years depending on the average daily use. They are an excellent value and the most beneficial form of lighting.

I don't use mine very often (a few minutes several times a week). I've had the lamp for at least 10 years and don't recall ever replacing the bulb.

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

Probably an hour or two... But it really depends how long the string of LED are... I can't really say for sure... They're not that costly so buy 'em and try 'em to see... If you have a dimmer they will last longer.

They last the same as any bulb purchased at a home improvement store. It would depend on how much time the bulb is on not just a set amount of time.

They only last about 3 months and I never touch the bulb. I use a glove when I put them in thinking the same thing.

I have had mine for over a year and use it routinely. I have yet had to replace a bulb.

That depends on which bulb burns out. But an LED bulb lasts thousands of hours.

Mine has lasted six months so far. I really doubt that you can replace the bulbs, you would have to get the right leds and then you would have to solder them onto the board.

These bulbs are rated for 8000 hours. About 1 year of you leave them on 24/7. I wouldn't recommend them for daily use, though; the ballasts seem to be VERY fragile - we've had a number of them, (the ballasts) just burn out after less than 10 hours of use. Other than that, I love 'em.

An LED will typically burn 50,000 hours or longer before beginning to lose brightness. They don't "burn out" like a traditional bulb.

Sorry, I'm not sure. I do know that this type of bulb has a short life compared with regular bulbs. Generally they are not on for that long in any case.

I am not sure how long they last as I installed them to use as reverse lights to shine on my trailer hitch and they work great. The bulb can't be replaced and if it ever blows you will have to replace whole light.

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!

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.

As Del answered I've not used them on a regular basis, but I have had the bulbs for 4 years and use them around the holidays. They seem to last for quite a while.
