I would be buying some of these candles for use in wedding reception table centerpieces, I need to know how long the batteries will last

I cannot tell you how HAPPY I am with these candles..I have had them for quite some time and leave them on all night in my exterior lanterns and have just changed the batteries for the first time...amazing!! They will last beautifully for the reception and into the wee hours I suspect.. I am ordering several more of these for the upcoming holidays...they look lovely on the mantel and much safer to use near the Christmas tree. You cannot go wrong with these beautiful candles. Be sure to buy long life batteries just in case, like I do. Happy wedding!

I have my candle on at night for a couple of hours, couple of days a week. Bought 2 - 3 months ago, and still no battery change. If I remember correctly, they are LED lights, so should last through the wedding (and divorce :) ).

I would say AT LEAST 8 hours, but probably substantially longer. I accidentally left them on the whole night and in the morning they were still going (this was also after weeks of use-where they were on several hours a night). I'm only saying 8 to be on the safe side, and to ensure that they remain bright enough, etc.

Approximately 8 and sometimes 10 hours if I leave them on and if I buy really good batteries. They are easy to turn off and on to save battery life and easy to change the batteries

I haven't yet expended the batteries. According to the instructions (with 3 good D cell alkaline batteries) it should last 3 days on High power and 6 days on low. I am inclined to believe this info. When on low it puts out quite a bright light. I purchased 10 lanterns to gift out; and I caught a great sale on the batteries at Amazon also. 6pack for $4.95!!

Be sure to switch the candle batters off during long periods of non-use. There may be a very small drain through the circuitry on the batteries even when the candles are not illuminated.

I am not qualified to say how long the batteries will last based on your description but would assume based on my past experience that they will have a fairly long life compared to other style batteries. Unfortunately they are not rechargeable.

On the higher setting, they probably lasted around 18-24 hours. On the lower setting, you could probably expect 24-36. We used them in Haiti and were pretty pleased with their performance. Ended up using half of the batteries that I expected to.

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 candles stay on for about 5 hours before timing off. There is an "on" option as well as timer so you could just turn them on and leave them on if that is helpful.

Brilliantly in my experience. Been using them for weddings, as primary batteries. I can't remember now, but I believe in my review I put a number on how many shots I got from them. I purchased them before I did the firmware update, and updated after my 1st or 2nd use, they still work wonderfully. The only thing I don't know if their longevity...I'm not positive these will last as long as OEM, but so far I have absolutely no indication that they won't.

They take 2 AA batteries and there is a timer. Candles will be on for 5 hrs and off 19 hrs.

They use CR2450 Lithium Batteries. It came with 5 extra batteries along with the ones already in the candles. The box says that each LED candle glows for 50,000 hours. I had only used it for about 6 hours straight with no problem (not quite the 50,000 mark). Not sure how much the batteries cost, but it looks like something you can buy at your local drug store.

They will last through the night but only one (or maybe two) nights. The battery would quickly be extinguished and you would probably spend a lot on replacing the battery every other night. I also use a nightlight but I use a small light that plugs into the wall with a nightlight bulb in it. I also have one of these http://www.amazon.com/GE-Flower-Design-Incandescent-51386/dp/B002DNG9A2/ref=sr_1_18?ie=UTF8&qid=1410570644&sr=8-18&keywords=night+light which works really well. Hope that helps! These Mushroom lights are still fun and are really good for a few hours a night!

3V-Lithium-Button-Batteries-CR2450 -- if you shop a bit you can find them priced reasonable. We use these in our event business and I can use the candle for 3 events per battery...approx 24 - 36 continuous hrs.

You can leave them on. Scroll down to the first review and it will explain how to use the candles.

They last an amazing long time. I used the timer function on mine last year after Thanksgiving and they lasted long past Christmas. I was well pleased.

They have to be turned on each time. They can be set for the 8 or 16 hours or you can turn them off and on with the remote. But, these particular candles aren't programmable for a repeated schedule.

I always take the batteries out between uses. They will last for a number of uses. I use the energizer 377 batteries. Hope that helps,
