How long does this light last? Does it only have a 6 month lifetime?

the light should last a couple years . it is not the LED diodes that go bad it is the driver that usually goes bad.

We have been using about a dozen for 6 months no problems. I would think the would last several years because they are LED. The plants seem to respond well.

I have owned this light for approximately 8 months with no issues. I work in heavy manufacturing and this light has been submerged in water up to about 10 ft without any ill effects. It also sees lots of dusty environments and still works great. The only knock on it I have is one the high lumen setting the battery only lasts about 2-3 hours. Given I rarely need the highest lumen setting because even the lowest setting is brighter than any other light you can buy. As far as replacement I am unsure because to date haven't h to worry or looking into this as the light is very rugid.

Mine lasted exactly 6 months. I bought the pair March 17th, 2014. On September 15th, 2014, one of them went out.But since I like how bright they are, I'll just buy another set and keep the spare for when the next one goes out.

I would have to take it apart and inspect it. I've had mine for a little over a year(used at work and home). Its been dropped from over 10ft. a few times. It still works without a problem. No problems what so ever. For its size, it is very bright. Only issue I have is the battery life. It is not as long as they claim. If u need a light that needs to stay on for a long period of time, you may want to check out a different light.

It will last as long as anything else there is out there, and it's as bright as anything else there is. Having said that the brightness is best at first and then it fades over time but this type lasts with at least some glow for hours. It's not the same as a light but it's paint, so at least there is some slight glow after quite a while. If you want it to continue being pretty bright then you will have to recharge it often with a bright flashlight or the sun etc.

Hi, Donald. The bulb is bright and is very energy efficient, however the life is shorter than most standard candelabra based bulbs. It says the life is supposed to be 3000 hours . . . I have purchased three and of the three, two of them lasted less than 500 hours. Pretty pathetic for a bulb in this price range. The electricity saved does not balance the cost of the bulb. In my experience, the lamp is a poor choice.

From what I can tell so far, when running continuous on high, the battery only last around an hour. But that probably isnt real accurate. My uses are on and off a lot. I dont usually run it for more than a few minutes at a time. I do know that this light does get hot to the touch when its been on for an extended period of time.

The average LED light lasts between 25,000-50,000 hours. In figuring this, if you use the lamp for an hour a day, every day, the bulbs will last over 68 years. There is also a 1 year warranty that comes with the lamp. If you would like to email the company, the address is: info@spheregadget.com and a representative will contact you within24 hours, according to the site. PS...I Love mine!!

I haven't tested it (Thankfully) but I think I read in the packaging that it would last up to 48 hours. They are really fine LED lights so I could imagine it would last several hours for sure.

These lights only lasted 6 months of daily use, the manufacturer will not warranty them, I don't recommend them at all. I got stuck with junk . Good luck

I have 4 of these and do not have any issues with it lasting 6-8 hours. I usually do not run the lights on, but I know they do in the kids room and it runs for the normal time.

this unit takes 6 AAA batteries. battery life is, obviously dependent on usage. my father uses it for about a half hour to 45 minutes, once per week and it has lasted a couple of months, but light output has dimmed. it is ok as a supplemental light but I wouldn't use it as a primary source

I use the light for 1 to 2 hers at a time during orchestra rehearsals 1 night per week and church services on Sunday mornings. 1 set of batteries has lasted for about 3 months and I just had to replace them. I think the info that came with the light said they should last about 10 hours of continuous use.

There is only On or Off for this light- I have used it now extensively - in cold water 63 degrees I get about 35-40 minutes of light, it gets progressively weaker. In warm water, it lasts about 45-55 minutes and the same- the warm water dives were late night dives, no ambient light at all, and even at the end of the dive still produced enough light to see. I alwys dive with 2 and used this as my primary - works well.

I have never had it die completely but I know as the battery degrades so does the amount of light it produces. I have had it on for 4+ hours without any issues. Great light for the price.

I've had a few and they last me about 5 years. For the price they are well made little flashlights. BTW: I don't think I've had any flashlight, even the $20+ ones last me more then 5 years.
