Will these lights be able to stay on for hours at a time?

YES they can also they do not draw as much current as a standard 12v light . there for ,much less heat in the base or socket of light i work with mine for hours at a time mostly all night long 12 hours plus. hope this helps .using as primary light source in an RV at this time ,all or led type lights .this was an experiment to test this type to a standard glass 12v type. they do slightly turn blue after long time

No, these may work if running on battery only. I had problems when the camper was plugged in.

Yes, but after 3-4 hours of use they lose brightness and turn blue.(See my previous comments on this item)

The run time is directly proportional to amount of light received. Sure they will work but they may not be illuminated for hours and hours.

Yes, they can be set to turn on automatically when it gets dark, or manual off and on. What makes them really cool is the rubber flowery rubber gromet that fits over the individual 'light bulbs'. It helps illuminate the light nicely. I bought two of them & used them for big camp site I set up. The wiring is delicate, so you have to be gentle.

The fact they are LED they will not draw as much electricity as a luminescent. With fresh batteries I have had the lights on for 4 hours. The next time I used them for two hours with no dimness of the lights.

That's what we have. They work very well. They are very bright. However., if it's a dark and deary day they stay on all day. We've had them six months. We'd buy them again.

they will come on at any time. i like these - but i ended up getting the longer one that has the switch to turn them off for that particular reason. here's the one that i got that has the off switch. the one above does eat up a lot of batteries if you don't turn it off. alternatively you can turn the batteries around or put the small piece of paper in to turn them off during the day. but i just got this one so i can turn it off. was on my way out the door to work yesterday & didn't have time to look it up. link below. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AZR6SUY/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1#

I have mine in a regular light as well as a ceiling fan. I have not had a problem with any of them and I know they have been on for many hours. They seem to last as long as any regular lightbulb.

First of all, that is not at all the use they were designed for. I suppose it could work, but the specs say the batteries last up to 40 hours, so if you used the lights much at all, you would be changing the batteries quite often.

there is adjustment to how long this can stay on. It can shut off after a few minutes or stay on for hours. I keep tinkering with the adjustment, because they have stayed on all night. They can go off completely, and come on with movement. They can go down to a dimmer light so there is enough light to see on my porch, but not bother neighbors - and again go to bright with movement. Or just on for hours. But you do have to have the proper bulbs for this to do the dimmer and changes. If you use the wrong bulbs I believe they don't do the motion thing, but just stay on continuously.

The more time they get direct light the longer they will stay lit. Minimum of six hours. Every hour more will add to length of shine.

When you first turn them on they come on and stay on for a few minutes. You can set how long you what them to stay on for up to about 15 minutes. If you know wiring you could by pass the sensor so they would stay one as long as you wanted them too with a switch.

They will stay lit all night in full sun. However, I can't guarantee the light would keep critters away.

Yes. If your light switch is on, they respond to motion both day and night. I had my electrician tweak them to stay on longer because they were set to turn off after 5 minutes of no motion.

Hi. Nope. They stay on, but during the day, you can barley notice them.. And they use almost no electricty either, which is good

These are not designed for continuous lighting, but for intermittent and for a couple hours at a time. If left on continuously, the batteries will last around 25 to 30 hours. These had been considered for a commercial display case but were turned down due to having to change the batteries every 3 days.

The lights can be set to stay on for different time intervals 1.5 min to 4.5 min etc. They also have a motion sensor so they will stay on if there is movement in the garage. If you want the light to go off sooner hold the light switch down until the light goes off.

I've left them on for several hours before and haven't had any major issues. It was for photography rather than video. The overhead light did short but I think it had to do with the power source, not the light itself.
