Will this suddenly turn off when the rechargeable batterys get low enough? Does it have a warning light for low power?

It has a power warning light to tell you how much charge the batterys have. I don't use rechargeables I use regular AA bartterys

Always have extra batteries around. When you turn the light completely off (out of standby mode) the button goes through a series of blinks indicating voltage remaining in batteries. Great little light and AA batteries are cheap and readily available.

This light is well worth the money. I have had mine for several months and part of a SAR team I use it 24/7. when it gets time to change the batteries you will notice that using the 4 modes in soft-press there will not be much difference between the brightness of those modes starting with the lowest setting. I have never had mine just shut down because batteries were low. I don't use re-chargeables and as for the LED indicator I don't pay much attention to that. I just know it's time to replace the batteries when all 4 soft-press modes are the same brightness, no change from the lowest brighhtness. you will be more than satisfied with this very bright and well built light.

Good idea but, no low battery indicator light. As you suspected, at high intensity (1600 lm) the light works for a little over two hours then simply shuts off. However, long-term solution to this problem involves purchasing 2 (two) rechargeable 3.7V & 6000mAh; Li-ion protected with PCB (model #: 26650 &#8776; $16.00 for a pair). Of course, the final step in circumventing this problem is purchasing a recharging unit (the unit made by 4Sevens recharges a single battery in &#8776; 1 hour). Finally, these are very robust and versatile flashlight available to the public. Hope this assist you in making the right purchase for your particular needs Respectfully, Michael O'Grady

No the light automatically shuts off. I have had this for months and still have not changed the battery. I love it!

There is no warning when it neefs a recharge. It just stops working. It needs to be recharged after only a few hours of use. Hope this helped

You cannot turn the light off unless you unplug the product because the light is supposed to let you know that power is going through the item. If the light is off while plugged, that means there is no power.

Honestly I'm not 100% sure, but I think it goes off. I remember charging ours and noticing the light went off after a while.

Once it is plugged in, the unit is off (meaning no LED will light up) unless turned on. When in that situation, LED will automatically power on during power failure. If it is not plugged to the wall outlet, it will not do any thing once it is power off.

Yes. Set it to the off setting. No nite lite but full function in case of power loss.

No alarm! You have to listen for the soft click of the power level snapping back into the off position.

Yes, you get a light signal when battery needs recharging and there is another light signal when it has finished charging. There is no "low battery" notice though. So its use it until the battery is done. Might be in the middle of a session.

It has no indicator light; when the battery dies you would not know. You would not know if it's on or off either unless you look at the position of the switch.

Hi, it does shut down so it doesn't draw off battery power. I made mine I to a portable meter for installs and that saves my portable battires.

No, I had problems with my unit but on the power adapter. Once I installed the batteries the unit would recharge and lights would turn off.

Hi John, I am not absolutely positive (had to return the laptop and, therefore, cannot check right now ), but if I remember correctly it's the indicator light for the power. When the battery is low, this light turns red.The little light to the left of it indicates if the laptop is on, and it blinks when in standby.

if the power goes out it will alarm until either, the power is restored, you turn it off, its battery dies. This is a great alarm and I highly recommend it.

The voltage is low, but be careful not to touch wires to each other so that no damage occurs. Cap them or tape them as you remove them. I don't think you can easily turn off power. Also, call your alarm company before you do this to not cause an alert.

No. To save on battery power, it only lights when buttons are pressed. I prefer to have even THAT option disabled. I have flashlights to supply power during outages. If you'd like to get one, go here; http://lightsngear.com
