When used as a wireless lamp how long can it be used before it needs to be recharged?

I've had mine off for two days straight, in the past. With intermitant use (1/2 hour at a time), 6-7 times during those two days it was still charged. After several months ALL SMDs still bright and white.

I never used it very long wirelessly. I wouldn't recommend buying this product. the LED lights burned out within a month. Very poor quality

The keyboard is already heavy enough without build-in battery, and it require 2 usb ports, so I don't think wireless will be able to handle 5-6 hours. Also if they have to put a battery with enough capacity to power it for few hours in it, the size and weight will increase a lot... Currently 2.2kg

You won't need to leave it charging. I Charged it one time since I got it a month ago, used it at least 10-15 times, and the light is still bright green.

No, it can't. You can use it as a lamp at any time, but it will only gradually turn ON, not OFF. Sorry.

You may leave it on as long as the juice is on and the lamp does not burn out. Mine has been working perfectly for about 5 months with great light. You would need a timer attached to the power cord since the unit only has 3 fixed settings.

I use my lamp on and off for a week or two before changing batteries. If used steadily they would last somewhere from 6 to 10 hours I'm guessing before changing batteries but I'm using rechargeables. They dim steadily when the batteries loose charge. It's the best clamp lamp I've ever had and withstands heavy use. Very sturdy.

Hi... I just plug it in after using, go about my business, then come back, unplug and put it away. When the blue light goes out it's recharged. I would say no more than a half hour after using... I haven't had any problems so far. Still, the barber charges $20.00. So my expectations aren't that high. I've been using for months now so have saved more than the initial cost of the unit.

I've had mine two years. Ovevthe past 6 months, I've taken to leaving it on all day (on the weekends when I'm home). I use it like a regular lamp. No problems.May not want to use it as a reading lamp during the evening in the case it keeps one awake.

How long? Several hours at a time, I think. Yes, it can be used while plugged in, but the mouse's physical range is then limited by the cord.

Yes , I am certain you can use rechargeable batteries in this lamp ; however in my experience rechargeable batteries are not very long lasting and will eventually not accept a charge . I stick to fresh regular D batteries and they work just fine .

I use Duracell Rechargeable Batteries in my lights. The light that gets the heaviest use because the dog sets it off at night all the time lasted about 3 months. The other light that just gets normal use still has the original batteries after 4 months now.

Are you really going to leave it unplugged for long enough to find out? Its just a "nice to have" feature so if you are entertaining on your deck, or, cooking in the kitchen you can be "wireless." But, just keep checking the battery level indicator. When it's low enough - plug it back in.

It is a 2 part answer . If you use it regularly then it is fine to leave the batteries, but if it only gets occasional use or is stored, you must remove the batteries. This is not a rule for this lamp but all battery operated devices without regular use the batteries will corrode against the contacts and will destroy both your device and the batteries. All battery and device manufacturers warn of this.

If this is the Sima IR light the battery life is about 45min to 60min. You can plug it in and run it off the wall as long as you want, but the battery life is a little weak. It is a really bright light and worth the money.

it uses on AA battery. I haven't tried the rechargeable, but don't see any reason why they wouldn't work. There is an on/off switch on the back, which will save battery life if you turn it off when not in use. The battery lasted over a year, without turning it off when not in use. I love my wireless mouse!

No need that I can see. I charge the batteries in the lamp body and it works fine. The lamp will get too heavy to carry and too hot to hold before the batteries drain out.

Mine does not use rechargable batteries.. Or atleast I haven't seen where they go. (I'll look again) It works great. It does not have a way to turn off and on at dusk/dawn. It has a button on the lamp to turn it on/off.
