Do these stay lighted, or light up when they strike something?

Light up when you strike something and then fade off until they go completely dark unless you hit something again

They light up when they come in contact with a surface or with each other. When doing a run, they are a beautiful constant blue blur. They are a fraction heavier than my wood ones and slightly longer because the tip is different, but very comfortable. I totally love them.

They light up for a few seconds when they strike something. I'd say like 5-10 seconds

I would suggest that you at least light them off in an open field of open back yard. I have a small back yard and the houses are close together. I lited one and set it off, almost landed on the neighbors roof, pretty scarey!

They will still light, even after an extended period of time outside of the foil package. We use them to start our Weber FirePit and I've been careful to pop each cube individually like a pill in a blister pack. My wife thought the foil was supposed to be peeled all the way off the backside, so that is what she did one time. The remaining cubes sat outside in the elements with almost no protection and they still lit as good as if they were still in the foil. They did dry out, but I don't think it affected the lighting of the cube.

They only stay on when the power is on to each individual port. When the port is turned off...the light goes out.

I don't know. We've had them for 3 months now and the glow is still strong. Having them out in the light seems to do it. Only time will tell if they become weaker.

Hi. Nope. They stay on, but during the day, you can barley notice them.. And they use almost no electricty either, which is good

yes just night.... they have been up for over 6 months or so and they have been working fine. They throw off a significant amount of light. There are ways to keep them on all night or as long as you might need them when dark. Just involves flipping the switch off for 3 seconds.

I don't know why they don't glow. I held them up to light and then turned all of the lights off and still could not see any sign of glowing.

No they do not light up or make noise. They are just ocersized figures from the real steel movie.

No they do not light up. A light can be added though, but make sure it's not too bright because the material is just a heavy paper not like a lampshade.

Hey Tim,They basically work as strobes only and not continous lights. At full blast, they get really bright. Also in less than 5seconds they can blast off again. Even though i don't take them to the extreme so i don't burn them

Lights stay on approximately one minute. They are not adjustable. I suggest you use only the best batteries for longer life.

It will light up when it senses motion, not simply because it is dark outside. If they are not working, I would first check the batteries.

Yes, they only go on when the light is quite dim. It doesn't have to be totally dark. I was skeptical at first, these are surprisingly useful. I just ordered a second set for a different location in our house.

Hi Edna,Mine stay on a bit during the day, but only in my darker rooms. They are triggered by a light sensor, and the threshold does allow for some ambient light. If the light doesn't bother you, the electricity usage shouldn't be a concern (they're supposed to represent about $1/yr).

They stay on all night unless you turn them off manually. The batteries last a long time too.

Mine look like they glow after they have been also. They eventually go out. I haven't had any trouble so I'm sure it's OK.
