Assuming adequate daylight exposure, how long will the light function last?

I'm not sure what the question is but the outlet light turns off as soon as any other light enters the room whether from natural light or from a light in the room. The light itself is long lasting. A great product

Two of the original 3 I purchased are going for years. 1 of them I had to replace within 6 months, which I attribute to quality control by the manufacturer. Good product, but not all of them are going to hold up over time.

I may be reading your question wrong, but the light is powered off house current, not solar cell.

Ok, just wanted to be sure you purchased the right thing. They work great and I have them all over the house.

No, unless you take the unit apart and conduct some DIY soldering and find a matching LED. However, LEDs have a general life expectancy of 50,000 hrs. If you use your lights for 10 hours a day, it should last 13.7 yrs. Of course it can lost longer.

Should last for months. LED use little power. Mine has been up 2 months I think.

8 hours of direct sunlight is the best, but I think it would light with 6 or 7 hours, It is a really good spotlight, I have had many but this is the best by far!

It all depends on what you're running on it. If I'm using a sixty Watt bulb it's good for 11 1/2 hours. That's what I use it for in the summer at festivals.

Sure, it's like leaving any light on. Don't think about it much. I've had no problems at 18 hours a day for months at a time. It's a nice little unit.

It's hard to predict the future, of course, but LEDs are expected to outlast incandescents and fluorescents, so they should last many years, even at 12 hrs per day. Certainly long enough that the technology and prices may be significantly different by then.

i would suggest leaving Waka-waka in full sun for at least 3 hours. Then see if dimming improves.

The low winter sun seems to be shortening the daily light life span. I hope it will return to normal after the winter. I have about 6 mos. on it thus far and until now was satisfied with the light's performance.

Can't really answer your question. I guess it totally depends on how u use it. I put them outside the house, in my backyard. I change them about once in half a year to have the brightest level of light.

I bought mine during the holidays, haven't had much sun since. However it is in a room with a 10' picture window facing north. I have had no issues with lighting as of yet.

So far very good, no noticeable loss of light and I have it on daily for about 25 to 35 minutes per day while out on my walk.

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.

Good sunlight maybe a few hours. Cloudy I would say an all day charge. It will work though.

We keep our lights on for the boys about 10 hours each day and they typically last between 12-18 months. If you let them go until they burn out I would say 18 months but the quality of light degrades a bit so we replace them once per year to keep the sun shining... Hope this helps

According to UCI (I called them). It will shine/burn for 2 hours @150 Lumens, then it will start to dim and go into power saving mode.

Seems to be about 3-4 hrs. It depends on how bright you run the screen and what you are doing.
