If placed in a dark closet, how long would this product be effective. In other words, is this what a prepper would want to store.

I am not an expert, but everything I have read said that the shelf life if stored properly is between 3 to 5 years.

Hi Bandit, I am not totally sure how long it would keep its potency...with a pack of 4 Fila Mastiff's I go through it pretty quick...I do notice that in a spray bottle made up by gallon directions will lose its color after several weeks but the gallon does not and I haven't kept it in a closet. If it were me... I would and do keep all different things for my pack in stock for just the same reason you are asking this question I would say YES keep it on hand - for the cost it is a resonable investment for "Just In Case" Gina D

Don't make the product revealed in the sunbaked environments.IF it was opened, be keeping in cold storage.So I suggest you store in.

I put my unit in a walk in closet. There is a sliding switch under the cover plate to adjust time options. I never really timed it, but to start out it was set too short. I moved the slider up a little and now it stays on for about 3 minutes, which is just right for me. There is a lot more room to move it up if you want it on for a long time. The motion sensor works well, so if there is any movement in the room, the light will stay on anyway. But in my closet, sometimes a hanging shirt sleeve or something would cover the motion sensor and the light would go off too soon. Seems to be a good unit, and I will probably add more throughout the house when I get time.

I also keep mine in a heavy duty zip lock bag and in a cool and dark closet. Seems to keep them in good condition.

HA HA!! True, but no that wouldn't work. Mine is in a closet, like these other responders.

Refrigeration is only advised if you plan on keeping the product for up to 18 months. Most people use the product once they receive it. Storing it in a dark place should be sufficient to keep it fresh for months while you use it.

Keep it out of sunlight and store it in a cool, dry, and dark place. It doesn't matter where really, I use my pantry.

I keep mine in a cool dark place. I think some people keep them in the door of their refrigerator. Both work.

You're supposed to keep it in a dark place. I keep it in my cubburd and its perfectly fine. It does not need refrigeration.

Since attics tend to have extreme temperature fluctuations, I would advise not to. Should store in cool dry temperature surroundings, such as on a shelf in a hall or bedroom closet. But this is just my advice.

If your basement's temperature is constant and it's dry in there,you can store the product for about 12 months. Kind regards !

vacuum sealing will extend the life of this product. your enemy in preserving is not to expose it to air/oxygen. Should last for a long time. I did the same and packed it with my emergency survival kit.

I store this product in the drawer of the refrigerator but not the freezer. It likes dark cool place. I think it can keep from months to a year. Last time, I kept it in the frig for a year, it was still o.k. when I dyed my hair.

Depends on how you store this. Personally, I pop a desiccator into the mix and then wrap the whole thing in tin foil to keep it away from the light. Store it in a dark, cool place and you should be ok for at least one year. Hope this helps.

This light works very well in very dark conditions...an unlit closet or as a motion detecting night light in a dark room. I do not think it will be suitable for the purposes you have in mind.

Depending on storage conditions: temperature & moisture exposure; I would think that this product would keep almost indefinitely even after opening because there isn't anything to break down without exposure to other things. I recently found a misplaced opened package (with ziplock closed) and it seemed in perfect condition and this was over a year.
