How many hours of light do you typically get out of a single charge, and how long does it take to recharge?

I bought this after a camping trip where some of my friends had simpler led headlamps and I realized how convenient they were for camping. I have not had thr chance to really put it through its paces as ive yet to camp again. Using it around the house for odds and ends, the light output is excellent, but it does have a bit of weight to it, nothing too cumbersome, but it wasn't something i forgot was on my head. It doesnt come with batteries and i purchased rechargable lithium ones for it. The battery life would latgely depend on usage (high, low, strobe) vs mAh rates of the batteries you go with. Sorry i couldnt better answer your question.

I can not tell you, I receive it broke, the wire connected to the light was disconnected.

note that battery life is specified at minimum backlight ; i ran mine for 5 hr 25 min , then i recharged even tho it was still going. i imagine those who got 4 hr. were using the default backlight setting.

I tested one by simply turning it on after charging and waited until it went out. On the second setting, duller light, it lasted 14hrs 27 mins.

I found the charging time to be about a 1.5 to 2 hours. There is a red/orange light that illuminates when you first plug it in. It will go out when it is fully charged.

I can't tell you exactly since I usually keep it on for no more than 4 hours at a time, then I will recharge it.I've had it on for 4 hours straight at the high setting without it dimming at all. I suspect I could get at least 6 hours at the lowest setting.

I am getting about one and a half hours of continuous use, on high power, out of a 1.5 volt AA battery. You may get more time if you use the 3.7 volt 14500 rechargeable lithium battery. I love the light, it is very bright, brighter than my 2 D cell mag lite. I bought 4 more to give to my family.

9 to 10 hours depending on setting and batteries used. I usually get at least 9 hours using rechargeable batteries.

Red light stays on so its difficult to say how long a full charge takes. From my experience 2 hours work. If it's handy for you you can use while charging

I normally charge it overnight so I'm not sure exactly how many hours it takes to give it a full charge. I'd guess about 4 hours, but that's just a guess.

It really varies depending on the use and also if the flash is being used. I would say it lasted me around 3 hours with flash usage. Recharging the battery is that quick and easy anyway.

One or two hours at most. The worst thing is to run them all the way down, then put on the charger and forget about them. If you will look on Amazon. Under some or the batteries, they give you the do's and don't of how to get the most life out of your batteries.

I would say I get a good 10-15 hours of runtime on a single charge, and standby time is also pretty good, charges up pretty fast also!

About 2 1/2 hours if standard battery is pretty dead. My xl battery takes closer to 6 hours to recharge.

I used it for about 30 minutes/day for 7-9 days before I had to recharge it. I've had it plugged in now for about 5 hours and it's already back to 100%. I'm sure the charging time could be much lower. I just didn't have a reason to unplug it to find out. It's a great lamp. I'm very pleased with it.

Joseph, I've never gone 24 hrs w/o a charge but the light lasts a long time. I run it on stone mode which I sense consumes lots if battery(while riding for safety) and it lasts for 3-4 hours no issue. I often do that 2 days in a row and then connect to the charger after the second ride. There is no "meter" telling you where you are on the charge and it's better to have and not need than to need and not have. Finally, a bunch of my buddies have the same light and it works well for everyone in my group.

Hey Derrick... I charged it when I received it on April 30. I use it on average 2-3 hours per evening. I use the back light function every 30 minutes or so and the unit is in standby during the 2-3 hours of use. I turn the unit off each evening. I have not yet had to charge the battery.

Well I play usually 6 or 8 hours, then simply redock it in the charger. I've not left it undocked to know how long it lasts. I'm sorry!
