What is the lifetime of these bulbs?

I've had these bulbs since September of 2014 and they are bright. No problems from 80 degrees down to -20 so far. Haven't even flickered. I can't vouche for the life expectancy seeing as I've only had them for 6 months.

I have purchased a number of these bulbs from this seller and never had a problem with them on issues like yours. If you have pictures it helps to include them to show that it was not from mishandling. The expected life is 10,000 hrs, they don't specify a warranty. You can also contact Amazon. The delay in contact could be the time of year (Christmas).

Yes...I would echo what Rob said. I've been amazed at their longevity. I have them on a timer running about 5 hours EVERY night for the past two years. Only a few bulbs burned out...the other ones are losing their blue color finish due to exposure to sun/rain. Great bulbs.

They are a sealed unit. you cannot replace a bulb they have 104 leds and are a half inch thick. Somewhere I read they are supposed to last 30,000 hours. May be able to get more info from led wholesalers.

They are high / low. For me the life span was about 9 months. I dont think I touched the bulb when installing, but maybe I did. Pretty bright and good bulbs, but life wasn't there for me. I got Phillips Crystal Visions now and they are fairly close for less money.My Comparison from stock to These bulbs: http://carphotos3.cardomain.com/images/0015/46/98/15656489_large.jpg?v=1

The information on the LED bulbs says they last for many years, something like 20 years if left on 6 hours a day. I will be dead by then. Sure, whenever theynburn out you would just unscrew and replace like any other bulb. The ones I have give a light like daylight and are great. I am so pleased with them.

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.

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.

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.

If these led bulbs are like other led bulbs they should last somewhere between 20,000 - 50,000 hours

Hello,The life expectancy is about one year based on your usage. We sell the replacement bulbs however you can get them online from other retailers as well. Thank you.

In my experience they last as long as other bulbs typically last. Mine were still working great and strong when we sold my truck.... it hadn't been years since the install but there was no sign of them going out anytime soon. (I think it had been 1-2 years since the bulb swap out from factor bulbs)

If you expand the Product Description, you'll clearly see the following:Substantially longer lifespan (a minimum of 22.8 years at three hours a day of usage)Note: The bulbs are not replaceable, but 22.8 years is a very long time, and most will last much longer.

I am going on 2 months now, no problems. I used these in a 9006 bulb and only had one burn out in a year. Great quality.

This is more a question about how long an LED bulb will last, which varies by manufacturer. Philips rates their HUE bulbs at about 15,000 hours whereas others claim over 25,000 hours. Suffice it to say that these will last you at least 5 years or longer compared to *maybe* a year with incandescents. That said, you might get more life out of the bulb itself because that 15,000 hour rating is the projected time at which the light will begin to dim and fade at about 70% of its original brightness. Finally the caveat here is that these bulbs also have WiFi connectivity albeit dedicated to their proprietary bridge, and the issue with embedded electronics is that, like your cell phone or computer, they will eventually start to slow down and even die. That is just a potential issue with having embedded electronics on the LED bulb itself.

I cannot tell you anything about replacement because I have installed eight of these same GU10 replacements and never received any bad bulbs. As for life span, I have not had any failures in 1 year of usage.

My bulb's still going strong. Haven't had to use the warranty so I'm not sure.
