How long will the lights work if they are never turned off? I think they would be a comfort to an old friend to wake in the night and see them.

I can't say how long the LEDs would last if burned constantly. Mine is turned on for about fifteen hours a day and it is still working fine after several months.

I watched them glowing last night as the rain from hurricane Arthur poured down. I have had them outside non-stop for several months with no problem. I had some similar lights from I bought from LL Bean and I left them out for 3+ years, winter and summer.

These lights can only be turned on if they are unpluged. But if the power goes out and they are pluged in, then they will turn on.

Yes, at my place they do appear to stay on all night but never stayed up the entirety of the night to really check. One year roughly now on the current batteries and still going. They appear easy to replace. I believe there is a switch in the back to turn them off if I recall correctly. It provides nice accent or local lighting but don't expect it to light up the entire yard like a spot light.

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!

I did a thorough search and didn't find anything. They're supposed to last for a long time but I buy an extra light to use as a spare and they're pretty inexpensive. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

It depends in what do you gonna use them. In a hand lamp about 6 hours without turn it off. But they are the best. :)

MIne worked the first 4 nights, but now they will not light. I though it may have been that we had a couple cloudy days, but after 2 full sun days, still nothing. I reread the insert, and it says to cover the panel for a day or two???? I am trying that now. I should know either tonight or tomorrow night if it works. Too bad if they don't....they were pretty.

The lights are rated for 50,000 hours of use, or over 5 and a half years. The entire light would have to be replaced at that time unfortunately.

I'd love to answer your question but I've had mine for a week and they've yet to light up at all.

I bought them too. The batteries are probably dead. A similar thing happened to me. Mine lasted a couple of weeks with occasional use. Because they are "wireless", the system is always active even though the lights aren't on, looking for a signal to come on. Had I known of the short battery life BEFORE I purchased them, I wouldn't have bought them. Good luck to you.

Yes...I would echo what Rob said. I've been amazed at their longevity. I have them on a timer running about 5 hours EVERY night for the past two years. Only a few bulbs burned out...the other ones are losing their blue color finish due to exposure to sun/rain. Great bulbs.

I am thinking about buying these lights, but I want to know if yours have lasted? Thanks for your time :)

We like them. We have had guests that have unplugged them because they were too bright. I don't know how long they last. Never had to experience lights out that long.

No, they work fine, they just don't last a long time (when you leave them on as a night light).

Probably fine. The lights are nice and bright when you first change the batteries; they do dim over time. If that would be a problem, it might be better to get something that plugs in.

I'm not sure I can answer that. I think they may still light up but the lamp housing is plastic, so there may be cracking??
