What is the life i can expect out of one set of batteries used with this light??

My batteries are still good. I would imagine the life expectancy depends on whether the lamp is left on continuously or intermittently.

I do not know that we have had this light about a month, and I do know one thing it does not give very good light, just in a very small area.

I would say that it depends on how you use them.So far I have been using my for three weeks no problem still going strong

I have had the same batteries for almost 6 hours now - still do not need to be replaced.

I'm not sure, but if you search through other Q&As; (which you should always do before asking a question), another person answered your question with this: "About 12 hours, at which time the lights begin to grow dim." So I'd go with that. (Of course, we're talking about a fresh set of batteries; older, previously used batteries, may last much less time.)

Hey Jeff, I have never used an portable battery with this light set yet. But that are some out there can be used. And it really doesn't matter which one you get according to my research. I don't have one yet, but the one was looking at cost around $600. Kind of pricey. I hope this helps.Chris Evans

The light pulls 1 amp. That battery is rated at 5 amp hours. So roughly 5 hours operation time. That battery isn't a deep cycle, it'll have a shorter life.

I had one set of batteries last about 3 months.. the second one was still going at around 5 months when I took it off the wall.

Mmmmm I've had this unit for about 4 months and haven't dealt with or heard about any batteries. I just plugged it in and used it. If there are batteries it'll be a surprise to me. BTW I like the light.

10 Years That is the Life of the battery but how long it lasts being Used I do not Know. The LED Light is supposed to last for 2400 Hrs.

Mine have been installed for about 10 months and still do everything they should. The light lasts all night with some of them. I dont know about batteries...the ones they came with are all I have needed.

I've experienced no problems whatsoever with this light. No light drop off after 5 mins.or battery drain with the light off. Batteries appear to last about 6-8 hours continuous use on high beam. My light begins to fade just as the batteries are nearly exhausted, as you would expect. The light beam while brilliant has a short range, no doubt the cars would see you, but a bike light may work better for you.

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.

I've had my lamp for 6 months. I've never tested the battery for time duration, but it definitely longer than 2 hrs. If I use it a lot, I plug it up whether it needs it or not, just so I'll have it bright for the next use. Also pay attention to the recharge instructions. It's pretty tough, I use it for MIG welding as my shop isn't well lit and my vision isn't as good at 60 as it once was... HTH, Russ

Can't positively answer the question with assurance but I would my guess would be for only one light. I purchased a set of two for my floundering boat to try them out. The were much better not only in lighting but I no longer had to run generator. I ran two of these on the same deep cycle battery for 4 nights putting roughly 20 hours on batter not charging while running nor charging at the house and the battery is still going strong. I bought 2 more sets two weeks later. I personally am quite impressed so far. Give them a shot I doubt you will be disappointed just my 2 cents

I would suggest u buy the light with the battery and rotate your batteries. That way there is always one charged and will last tail years instead of 1

I have the same light and purchased the batteries in the link below. They are decent (you get what you pay for) for what I'm trying to accomplish. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006OHO9I2/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The batteries have lasted since we got them about 4-5 months ago and are still OK. We like the versatility and brightness of the lights and would buy them again. Hope this helps!

I don't really know since the batteries were sucked dry within 3 weeks of insert; bought 5. have not replaced. I do not recommend. Try Mr. Beams lights I have had very good luck with those. This battery issue was mentioned by other reviewers as well if I recall correctly.

Hi W.J.Two thoughts here. First, I'm not happy with the performance of the battery's life -- seem to work OK for low power items (i.e. wireless mouse), but fall way short of the mark for higher demand items (flashlight) -- I'd guess 10 to 15% of an Alkaline battery life. That said, and in all fairness, it appears there were a number of 'knock-offs' introduced into the selling stream. I'm not sure if mine were part of the counterfit lot.The customer service group at Eneloop aren't the easiest to work with either. I invested about $350 in batteries, cases, charger, sleeves. I wish I could get my money back and move on.Sorry to share my disappointing experience. I hope yours is better. Hi W.J.Two thoughts here.
