Can anyone confirm the amount of time that the light last?

I bought mine because I had a small vampire problem in the New England hotel I manage. At first the very bright light kept them at bay, but then it started to go intermittent, and I got bitten. Now I can transform into a bat, and of course navigating in the darkness is no longer a problem, so I've little need for a flashlight.

The battery life seems pretty reasonable. I've had this light on for about 1.5 hours and it performed well. The only problem is that it's static sensitive and may turn on by itself.

Mine worked the first time I turned it on and is now intermittent at best despite changing the battery. Great concept, bad customer service. The retailer I purchased it from on amazon said it was past 30 days and to contact Fenix. I got a call from China!!! Good luck!!! Go Streamlight made in the USA!!!

My husband loves the flash light. He is a firefighter, and he says its holds up good. It last a long time. Way worth it.

I keep my light on 24 hours a day and cycle day/night. I have only had mine light for a little over a year, but it has shown not decrease in brightness and is still working extremely well.

Anywhere from 25,000 to 50,000 hrs. LED lights typically don't burn out, they fade out.

I ran mine for 2.5 hrs on the brightest mode, just to see what it can do. Didn't see any drop in intensity and still had battery left. How much don't know. My other lights are over $200.00 each so was real impressed with how long it lasted so far.

I use the light for 1 to 2 hers at a time during orchestra rehearsals 1 night per week and church services on Sunday mornings. 1 set of batteries has lasted for about 3 months and I just had to replace them. I think the info that came with the light said they should last about 10 hours of continuous use.

For me it's about an hour, maybe a little longer on gaming mode. About 2hr and 15 min on balanced mode, just depends on what you are running, brightness etc. It has never died on me when I needed it though.

yes and its very bright, but in winter time it last about 10 hours because its gets darker sooner where we are at, it depends on time zone.

I have left it on for extended periods but have never timed it. It is guaranteed to work for 3 years at above above normal use (9 hours a day for three years) with no change in lights or battery. It has a dimmable dial switch that allows for every level of brightness between off and ultra bright.

I haven't gotten that far along, but I'm estimating at least six months. The light only stays on about 15 seconds so it can go longer. I used alkaline batteries.

Not long at all. I had to stop using mine. When you put batteries in you get about 8-9 good hours, then light begins to dim. It is worthless!!

I have had this now for about 4 months. I use the light only for emergencies and for just a few moments. I haven't yet seen any reduction in the amount of light emitted

No, I have the lights on whenever I use it and it's lasted for 10-12 hours every time

I cant say, it has never died on me, but then i dont keep it for long periods of time. I will say this, it,s the best light i,ve ever owned.

Dear Customer, If this LED lamp is fully charged, it will last 7-10 hours. Please be noted.

The average LED light lasts between 25,000-50,000 hours. In figuring this, if you use the lamp for an hour a day, every day, the bulbs will last over 68 years. There is also a 1 year warranty that comes with the lamp. If you would like to email the company, the address is: info@spheregadget.com and a representative will contact you within24 hours, according to the site. PS...I Love mine!!

I don't know as I only use it for 1.5 hours at a time and I never really checked but I am sure you could get 4 hours or so all I can say is that this light is super bright and I sell led lighting for a living.Solid in the hand and overall impressed with the quality...

I have had one of the philips LED bulbs inside a fully enclosed fixture for about six months now (I believe it is 429258). It will surely shorten the life, but it remains to be seen if it just shortens it from 7 years to 3.5 years, or if it is about to give up the ghost any day now.
