How many charges will these lights last? I saw another product that listed up to 500 charges on their unit.

I have it since 2011 and it's still working perfect . It's a perfect product from Philips and it's inductive charger nothing to plug .

I haven't counted, and certainly don't think that I'm anywhere near 500! I must say though, they're not my favorite of the battery operated candles I have. They're not very realistic looking. Kind of reminds me of the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland

All the light will be on and solid when completely charged. When in use, if 1 light goes out that means you have 75% charge left and so on 2- 50% 3 lights out you at at 25%. Hope this helps!

But mine have seemed to work fine. I haven't put that many hours on them. I purchased 3 and they all worked. Especially combined with other types of lighting.

I've had my two lights installed since December 2013, in my back yard, on two 12 foot poles. They are very bright and I have not had any problems at all. They are waterproof so I don,t see a problem with the installation you have in mind.

They only draw 200 mAMPS (0.0000002 amps) so the wattage is really insignificant if you are worried about battery life. I am in road construction and normally leave mine running for 5-6 hours and have never had a problem. FYI: I run these at the same time I am running my overhead light (strobe) and four corner strobes.

To be honest I don't remember. What I do is always charge 24 hrs. with these types of batteries. What I can tell you is that these lights work flawlessly and Im glad I bought them. I haven done anything they charge go on and then off no delays. Great product. And believe me Ive had others and these works best.

It's kind of stupid that the product description doesn't say what kind of batteries. I had the exact same question when I was looking at this page. The manufacturer's website says CR2032, 1 each for the two lights, and battery lasts upto 100 hours. Manufacturer's website also says batteries are included, don't know if that is true with this amazon vendor though.

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.

Wel we don't run the lights all the time so I only know that I have only changed the batteries once so far. We run them when we have guests over. It appears that they last pretty long though.

When you got the lights there should have been a card that gives you warrenty iinfo. If not just go to the website they should send you more, i had a problem with mine and they sent a replacement for it.

I have purchased four of these and depending on ambient temperature (the colder the shorter the life) the should last as one of the other posts states 9 hours on low, 1.5 on high and almost 3 on strobe. One of mine actually came with a battery that had a contact point(little button) that had come unglued. I am in the process of sending it back to get another. What I like is that they charge so quickly so unless you need more than the stated time you really dont need the extra battery, just pop on the charger for a hour and your good. The battery life indicator always lets you know if you need a charge so you dont get caught dead.

I can't say exactly but if mine has sat for awhile unused I turn it on to see how many lights come on. Fully charged is 4 lights. I use mine a lot.

I apologize for not knowing the correct answer since I did not installed then myself. One technician did it fir me, although this was a very simple issue for him. The lights are working wonderfully. Very much as expected, but the pending question is do they last as long as they are suppose to? Will see.

Well James, I have now six Sunforce Led Solar lights in my home. A total of n=5100 lumen, lot's of light for no cost. The lights are working every night for arround eight hours. They doingthis now for three month. Considering that I have n=85 60 watt fixtures working and not paying the city anything; this for approx. five years. that is more or less the time before I break even.

I think the best thing to do is to contact the company and ask them. They have super customer service, and will get right back to you when you email them. I love the lantern and spot light I purchased. They hold a charge for weeks if you don't fully discharge them. I also love that they have a low setting, high setting and an off button. You can also charge them with the provided usb cord. If you are hiking, you can hang them off your backpack and charge them along the way.

All I can say is that I have two of these chargers, one for more than 5 years, and I have never seen the red lights stay on constantly. Usually within 6 hours the batteries are charged and the red lights goes off. Hope this helps.
