Longevity This 65 watt light will only last about two years (8,000 hours) under normal use – still a savings over using a 175 watt mercury vapor bulb which lasts sometimes 10-15 years – I would not recommend using in any area where the bulb will be hard to replace. Also may be hard to find when you need to replace so you may want to have a spare on hand.
Very pleased I bought a mercury vapor fixture. The original vapor bulb lasted about 30 days. I replaced it with the Lights of America mercury vapor buster that I found at Home Depot. It lasted over 5 years and I calculated it saved me about $150 over the 5 year period. The light output is not as bright as the mercury vapor. Overall I am very happy with the bulb. I couldn’t find one at Home Depot this time so I am searching the web for it.
