For everyday use, about how long (days/months) do the candles usually last until I have to change the batteries?

I've had mine since May 2014 and they are still burning every evening. They are beginning to be less bright and I will change batteries soon. I can say mine have lasted six months until a battery change. Happy!

I've had the candles for 3 months and they come on every evening for 5 hours, have yet to replace the original batteries used. I have enjoyed them completely. Do they look completely "real"? No. They don't drip wax and aren't going to cause a fire. They add a warmth and glow to any room, but are not sufficent to add actual functional light, they are decorative only. I'd like all of my "faux candles" to be on timers, highly recommend if you're just entering the market for them.

If batteries like Energizer or Duracell are used, I get several weeks out of mine with every day use.

Sorry, these ones are not on timer you have you switch them on and off but still great candles!

I leave the individual candles on. I replaced the batteries once after 6 weeks because the lights were weak. They are lite about 3 or 4 hours a night plus I left them on one night.

I suppose It depends on the amount of usage. But I have had mine since November 13. Used moderately but not heavily. A couple times a week for 30 min to 1 hour each time. I like them. If I could afford the $40 a piece ones I would get those over these any day. But for the money they do what I need them to so and so far no sign of wear.

I've had mine about a year, use them every day for at least 3 or 4 hours. Still perfect.

I've had this for months but I don't read every night. It's still going strong for me. Just realize the batteries are going to have to be replaced eventually. If I had to guess, I'd bet the batteries would run constantly for 48 hours and still be useable.

The battery can last me several days but it all depends on how much you it. I have a second battery that I rotate so when one dies I just change to the other.

I have 3 candles. They seem to work fine but I dont light them up much. Just once in a while.

Stephen, did you follow the directions to turn the auto-timer on? Turn the candles off, then press and hold the little power button on the bottom until the candle blinks one time, then release the power button. The candles will 'burn' for five hours from that point and everyday thereafter until the batteries die.

Not long at all..these are very cheap, cheap candles. We threw ours out after 3 weeks :(

They last quite awhile actually. I change mine out weekly, even though I never see more than minor wear on them.

I kept them on 24/7 as part as a door decoration, and the batteries lasted about a week. They were cheaper batteries though. But I would imagine you might need to replace them once or twice to last all season. Beautiful lights though!!

We've had them on for 5 hours a night for 4 months and still going strong! I bought indoor flameless candles on Amazon recently and the batteries lasted for less than a month. I'd definitely recommend these!

I use my lights in my closet so I only have them on for a few minutes at a time. I haven't needed to replace the batteries and I bought my lights in March.

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 GE Metal Shade With Flower Design Incandescent Night Light 51386 which works really well. Hope that helps! These Mushroom lights are still fun and are really good for a few hours a night!

I use these bulbs in a candle warmer that I use probably 3-4 times a week for about 3-8 hours. The bulbs last about 4-8 weeks in my experience depending on frequency of use.

Twist. Also sold is timed candles, from the time you first twist them on, they last, I think, 4 or 5 hrs then shut off. (read descript). If it's only one time a day you turn on candles, they will automatically go on same time next day unless you change it. I love them. Also have the pilar candles with remote control; I'm buying another set.
