The lifespan of the bulb will depend on the type of light you install:<ul><li>CFL bulb (for sustained use): 15,000 hours</li><li>Halogen bulb (mostly for security): 2,000 hours</li><li>HID bulbs (for security): 12,000 hours</li><li>Incandescent bulb: 1,000 hours</li><li>LED bulb: 50,000 hours</li></ul></div>
