how long do they stay lit on a charge?

I wish I knew.. Actually they are on when I go to bed at night, I haven't been up more then 4 or 5 hours after they come on.

The entire night until the sun rises. Very bright and sturdy for the price. Does this all on one AA battery.

I best estimate would from sunset until sunrise currently. I don't know if this will hold true during the winter months as its gets darker longer and less sun, but I purchased these more for the summer months. Hope this helps.

I'm not positive. I haven't been up early enough in the morning to see if they're still on.I do know they're still going strong @ 3am...

Mine are still on the original batteries and I've used them through 3 dinner parties. They have run approximately 12 hours for me and there is still light. They are led lights so they pull very little off the batteries.

I haven't left the light on for very long, but I will tell you that once the light is charged, it holds the charge for weeks at a time. I bought 60 lights to bring to Kenya to give to students I sponsor to use as reading lights. I know they will be very happy to receive them.

I did a test on mine which is about 18 months old. On a full charge, 3 lights illuminated on the side, it lasted 27.5 hours. It was still illuminated but about 1/2 the brightness of a full charge. You can easily get 24 hours of useful light out of this.

No they don't stay lit more than two minutes. And they're not visible 10 feet away .

I have found they charge completely in 6-8 hours. The red light on charger will go off when fully charged. So far so good. Had about 20 cycles through them so far.

I haven't actually timed them, but I burned one for about 8 hours one night, and couldn't tell that the level had changed much from the unopened ones. I would say they do. Keep in mind, it's a CANDLE! You can't read by it's light, but you can keep from tripping in the dark.

Not sure, I just put them on the windowsill and they are fully charged at night. BTW, I accidentally left one on and when I saw it in the morning, the LED was still emitting a faint light! Also, even the faintest light will charge these, they don't even need direct sunlight!

Well I used them in my solar lights, and they work fine, so I wouldn't be able to really answer charge time. I plugged them early in the am, and that night the lights were working fine.

It depends in what do you gonna use them. In a hand lamp about 6 hours without turn it off. But they are the best. :)

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.

When the LED lights go off the batteries are charged. In my experience time varies with different batteries, perhaps depending on residual charge.

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.

They will stay on all night IF they are in a sunny place to charge the batteries. If not they will stay on only 3-5 hours

Depends on what kind of batteries you are using. I have two on my light. They seem to last about 2.5 to 3 hours before I need to change them out.

I never charge mine unless it's blinking red or yellow.. I take them off every night and turn them off, so they are on 12-16 hours a day.. and it lasts 3 days

They have to charge all day before they will come on. How long were they out in the sun after you switched the light on?
