I bought and installed this lamp 14 April 2014. It burned out in 10 months. Any history of similar short life of the bulbs?.

Mine lasted 27 months, not sure if that is normal life of that bulb or not. Wife says OEM bulb lasted 5 years.

Hey there, ive purchased a cheap one and this one and I believe it may be another issue shortening the life of these bulbs... Maybe the fan ? Maybe excess dirt? Both of mine only lasted about 10 months (max) also.

I've had very good luck with mine, and no issues. Be sure to use dielectric grease on the connections before installing the bulb. Its possible a lack of grease along with thr high wattage could be heating up the connection and shortening the bulb life. Use a plain paper towel when handling the bulb. Oil in even the cleanest skin can shorten bulb life.

Not sure but I do know the replacement lamp is short lived and expensive..I returned my lamp because I saw a lot of future expenses in bulbs....

I have 2 lamps like you described in my entry hall. They came with these bulb (which I love by the way), they are on quite a bit being in the entry and I have had no problems. Have had about 9 months. I don't believe the lights I have are made any different than others.

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

As others stated, hiigh/low, mine lasted about 9 months before they went out with a week of each other. precautions taken to not touch the bulb during installation.

I just purchased the lamps about 8 months ago and the bulbs are still fine. Really depends on how long you have them lit so it's very hard to answer that question. I did buy a back up bulb since I use one lamp more than the other. Trust me you won't worry about replacing the bulb once you see how well the lamp works. That is why I bought two and three of my neighbors bought one each too.

I just had to call about the warranty. They have a replacement warranty for two years. If the lamp fails they send you a new one for about ten dollars.

Sorry, can't help you. Haven't looked into that yet. I've been using mine A LOT since last summer -- about seven months now, of fairly heavy usage, and the bulbs are still as bright as ever. I do look forward to finding out about replacements eventually, though.

Thank you for the question. The bulb is rated for 25 years. If something happens to the bulb during the warranty period you can return it.

Our bulb that came with our lamp lasted at least 5 years, we just replaced it a couple of months ago.

I have the same model of lamp. But it is good to share with a fellow customer my experience with the 10 w whish has the same structure. I had a 10 w whish did not lite one day. I open and at the inside that this type of lamp has integated circuit with a non replaceble led bulb. So the best advice is to discard and replace it with a new one.

As common when you buy "high performance" bulbs, they'll usually have a shorter life span. I can personally attest to the fact that these did not last very long at all. Refer to my review. I was very, very disappointed that they didn't last a year.

The light I bought went out after about 10 minutes of use, and it hasnt worked since. The halogen bulbs seem to be very fragile, and I am currently seeking other lighting technology that will be more reliable. Sorry - I dont know whether the bulbs can be replaced or not. I am not going to bother trying.

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.

Yes, I purchased this bulb and received a 90 day warranty. However, I am very please with the item. No complaints... 8 months with no problems.
