How long will the lights stay lite?

The best response I can gives that it depends on the battery (i.e. lithium, alkaline, standard etc.) and the length of time that the battery has been in use prior to an outage. Additionally you can prolong battery life by turning off the units using the remote during the day for long power outages. Keep in mind that the units use leds so battery use is longer than any incandescent light bulb. Another good feature is that each unit has a low battery indicator which means batteries should be replaced even if you have not had a power outage (this is comparable to smoke and CO detectors which will beep when the battery should be replaced). Best advice I can give you is to have extra batteries on hand to handle long power outages of several days. All you will have to do is replaced the batteries in any unit that fails.

The LED's will probably out live me! They get only slightly warm after running them for a while. They can run all night long no problem. Power efficient too!

I have had for half a year. I don't leave the light on very long so I can't truthfully answer.Love them,though!

As long as you don't leave it on for a long time. I have mine under my kitchen cabinets. I use them as accent lights and have had them on for about 4 hours at a time about 10 times and they are still going strong. They create a beautiful effect.

not long. leds are supposed high efficiency but batteries were dead too soon. i guess i´ll have to buy rechargeable batteries.nonetheless, the lights are very useful and very practical

The time the lights remain lighted is determined by how much direct sunlight they receive. We get nearly 8 hrs of illumination from our lamps which are in direct sunlight all day long and four hours illumination from those lamps which are partially shaded. Using alternate batteries is possible, but you would have to acquire a battery holder and solder its wires to internal connection on the lamps electric module. This requires opening up the module to add remote battery wires - this would be a high risk modification and would require finesse. I recommend against this modification.

I'm not too sure what you mean by let it stay lit. With this setup you would probably be better off using a speed light and they ll will go off as you trigger them.

Saeree, I never tried leaving the light on until the battery dies. If I had to guess, based on my use and when I change the battery, I would guess six to eight hours.

They will stay on all night IF they are in a sunny place to charge the batteries. If not they will stay on only 3-5 hours

A long time. I've left mine on overnight by mistake and it was still delivering some useful light.

I would say AT LEAST 8 hours, but probably substantially longer. I accidentally left them on the whole night and in the morning they were still going (this was also after weeks of use-where they were on several hours a night). I'm only saying 8 to be on the safe side, and to ensure that they remain bright enough, etc.

i think that really depends on the quality of the battery you use. i use the amazon brand "AA" batteries and have used the lite with both down and up lights on for about 5 hours consecutive use and they did start to dim slightly. but as i find you don't really need more time than that for an evening on the patio. you need to keep in mind this a temporary lite source for your patio table and is not meant for long burn duration's. with that in mind, it's a good investment for the money. it's also good to have around in case of a power outage!!

No, unless you take the unit apart and conduct some DIY soldering and find a matching LED. However, LEDs have a general life expectancy of 50,000 hrs. If you use your lights for 10 hours a day, it should last 13.7 yrs. Of course it can lost longer.

I have had them for a couple of weeks and have had them up for about one week. They are only on for a short time and not on in the daylight, I am night really worried, I don't think it will be bad. I am sorry but I have not had them long enough.

The 60 LED on this Solar Motion light can be set to stay on from 20 seconds to 4 minutes at a time. The light will last for 4 to 8 hours on one charge depending on the duration setting and the number of iterations triggered by the motion sensor. The light will illuminate an area like a 40 to 50 watt light bulb, so enough to see where you are going, not enough to read by.

If they are given a good half hour charge before the lights are turned out, they glow for very long time. Upwards of an hour and a half to two hours.

Mine can last all night long and into dawn if I have them only on motion detector mode. If it is on continuously and is FULLY CHARGED I have had the light stay on for about 6 hours.
