just got back from vacation and saw your question - The bulb that came with the mirror is still working, so I can't answer what the life is, it's still functioning.

It takes a 25 watts max Type T bulb. I did a quick search and a T bulb 25 watt incandescent is rated for 1000 hrs a little less than the common housewhole 60 watt incandescent lamp(A19) (A19 use in table lamps from 1940 to 2000 now adays everyone uses CFL).

I've used it every day for about 2 months (5 min a day) and it seems fine. It does get hot so I don't leave it on for long Also, if you buy it, buy the bulbs with it. They do NOT sell them at Lowes, etc.

Its a little candelabra bulb, like the old fashioned smaller Christmas light bulbs. Still working over here.

Kerry, I ordered another as back up and have yet to install the mirror. Bulb life obviously a factor of use not so much of calendar time which is why I bought the spare. I guess its one of those deals where I'll just find out with that first bulb, scold my wife and hope the second lasts longer. :-)

The package says 2000 hours. For the most part we have found that to be true. We have 18 of these in our new home. Occassionally you will get a dud. Just call Phillips for a replacement bulb.

I installed the bulb about 3 months ago in the hallway of my apartment building. I have subsequently moved so I'm not sure if it is still working. Sorry!

It is brighter but short life. For me, average about 1 year and half per bulb.

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

If you are asking how many hours the bulb is rated for, then it's 3,000 hours I believe. 4,000 on eco mode. I have about 500 hours on mine.

The first one I received lasted a week they send me a new one and have not had any problems the life of the bulb should be 4-6 years depending how much you watch TV and dust your tv

The box and the limited documentation give little clue. I took box to a few hardware stores. they did not have it, but I am told bulb last a very long time. Try the manufactures website and see if they have a contact us section.

I watch television approx. 10-12 hrs daily. The bulbs have lasted about 4 years each.

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 light can be set to stay on for up to 15 minutes when activated by motion. I have had mine over a year and have not had to change the bulb yet. I expect it to last several years.

Have had mine about 8 months and have not had to replace the bulb. I am not sure this is enough time to really evaluate its life span. It is a nice little flashlight, well worth the cost.

No. It's an LED that's soldered to the wiring. But the LED should last around 10,000 hours, so replacing the bulb should not be an issue.

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.

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 don't use the bulbs that much, But I have some over several years......... They do last a long time....... but I'm not able to get you an hour count...........

Probably longer but it seems to depend on the individual bulb. For the cost I would want it to be ten times or more long.
