How many hours is this bulb rated for?
1431438
I don't know the exact hours on this one. But most of these style bulbs are 250 hours.

Ours has a countdown on it. Very clearly labeled in days. So right now, for example, it says 328 on the screen.... Representing the amount of bulb life, in days, left. Hope this helps!

Hi, Donald. The bulb is bright and is very energy efficient, however the life is shorter than most standard candelabra based bulbs. It says the life is supposed to be 3000 hours . . . I have purchased three and of the three, two of them lasted less than 500 hours. Pretty pathetic for a bulb in this price range. The electricity saved does not balance the cost of the bulb. In my experience, the lamp is a poor choice.

Assuming a usage of 4hrs/day, it gives 12500 days of use ie roughly 34.25 years. Assuming a usage of 10hrs /day, it gives 5000 days of use ie roughly 13.69 yearsI am not sure if there is documentation explaining about replacing the light, If I am going to be around that long, I would get a new lamp.

From what I have read the bulb life is 5,000 hours. The cost for new bulbs are about $200

The LED bulb in mine lasted about 4 hours. It just went dead; the switch is ok; tried new batteries, no use. Dorcy has no replacement parts for it.

RESET the bulb timer in GENERAL SETTINGS>LAMP REPLACEMENT. This should have been done when you put the new bulb in back in Feb. A new bulb should last at least one year running 12 hours per day, and typically longer for sets that are not on that much. The warning is triggered when the bulb's "on" time approaches 10,000 hours. Some bulbs last longer than 10,000 hours, but most should be replaced around 7000 hrs for optimum color and brightness.

It's a motion detector light, so I don't see why it should stay on for 2 hours. Mine is set for 10 minutes, or so. I've had mine for a year or two, and haven't yet replaced the bulb.

They are listed at 3,000 hours. Did some online research to find that out but they are really just fancy incandescent lights. How long they really last depends on everything from how they are handled, temp, where you put them. Mine are 18 months and counting with daily use. Hope that helps.

I bought mine from bulb direct. It lasted 3 days. They have a good return policy. They shipped a new one and it is working fine. Hope this helps

I'm sorry. I can not answer this question at this time. The lamp has not been used on an hourly basis . . yet.

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

Mine have lasted over 2 years thus far, 24/7 usage and I have two units. I highly reCommend this, you aren't going to find a bulb that will last half as long, either way. It's a piece of mind.

that's a good question - I don't know the answer but Contour says the life of the bulb is around 20 years but even then it has a lifetime warranty - I think the bulb will out last me :o} - I see LED light bulbs rated at 10,000 to 100,000 hours -- I really like mine and seems very well engineered

Its 0.5-watt bulb is protected behind a shatter-resistant lens and is ... 100,000 hours, so you don't have to worry about replacing it very often. If I ever have to, I would go to BatteriesPlus.com

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.

The LED bulb is claimed to have 20,000 hours life span. I have used for two years and it still works fine. There is bulb sold on Ebay and 12 are sold, so I guess some one did need to replace them.
