Does the flashlight allow you to plug it in and use it for hours on full brightness?

If you started with a fully charged battery and ran on hi setting how soon, if ever, would the power degrade to the point where brightness was affected? I have never tried it so I don't know for certain. The spec sheet says it will put out 5000 lumens (brightest setting) for one hour 15 minutes.The charger output is 2 A.The battery rated output is 5200 mAH.The charging time Is about four hours. So you could calculate but. if it didn't work you could use back up battery pack(s). You have me curious now about what kind of an application would allow you to have it plugged in to AC four hours.

You would need to purchase the AC adapter (used in place of a battery pack) to run it continuously for that long.

Not so great. On full charge maybe 15 min continuos use. I always bring extra batteries. It is super bright though.

Yes it does, I have pluged in but have not used it instead I have been using it on the first set of batteries and still very bright, I love it and really like the magnifier.

Absolutely, but expect a much shortened battery life due to the power requirements of this flashlight.

Yes. It has a dimmer switch to allow for a range of brightness. When turned up all the way, it is very bright.

Yes, However it's bulky. mine broke after about 1 week, flashlight fell out of holder consistently from the break. I modified it and gave up on it. Looks more durable then it actually is.......PGPD

I have mine plugged into an electrical socket all the time. I bought it for when there is a power failure at night. When the house power goes off, the flashlight will turn on. Not only will I be able to find it, but I will have light on high for around 2 hours and if I keep it on night lite setting it can last up to 15 hours.For $7.99 it is a great device for safety when emergencies happen. I am not sure how long it takes to charge from the dead state as I have always kept it plugged in since I received it.

The flashlight cannot be turned on while in the charger. It comes on when you lift it out, and can be turned off and on as you wish.

Mine did, it is a piggy back charger. With the battery installed in the flashlight, the charger provides a fast charge, approximately 2 hours. There is an additional section of the charger that will provide a slow charge to the battery stick, alone, at the same time.

i don't think you can, but purchased it From U.S. Shopping Mall and it didn't work. on the box there was a sticker that said i needed to charge it for 10 hours straight and i believe that's what ruined it. i was promised a replacement but i needed to returned the the none working one i paid $9.64 to returned it and never received my new flashlight. Stay away from these people!

Yes. The illumination comes from a small light w/ battery that screws into the side. Looks like a tiny flashlight the size of your little finger; totally separate. A nice piece of equipment. adjustable brightness.

No. Its rechargeable. I've never had a problem with it. Lasts for about an hour or so at a time.

No. Mine did not despite the advertisement that it does. Basically you get a paperweight as this flashlight does not use normal size bateries

It depends on what mode that you are using it on and what temperature that you are using it or storing it at. I have experienced four to six hours of heavy use. I try to take the flashlight inside if it is below zero but sometimes forget. The quality of batteries will also influence the power and longevity of the beam. Go with premium AAAs.

No. The light is pretty weak. The spread is good however. As someone who has bought different portable power sources, overall this is a very good one for the price. But the light is an add-on that's nice, but hard to use for anything other than very light duty flashlight. Peter

No, Once it's plugged in, it becomes an emergency light. If the power goes out, it will come on immediately. This is what I bought it for. If I'm asleep, and the power goes out, the light will wake me up. When in the emergency mode (plugged in) It will come on when you un-plug it. Then you can use it full power (as it will be when un-plugged) or 1/2 power, or shut it off with the switch. Un-plugged, it become a flash light with two brightness levels. VERY bright, VERY solid light, works GREAT, recomend and would deffinately buy again.

Yes, but I would say the dim settings are poor. They do not provide much less light then the full brightness. I found myself just leaving it on full brightness only.
