Is this price for one ball or 7? Do they get hot when lit for several hours? How long will the light last if on throughout the night?

1. Mine only goes from red to green also. Not hot. Not really. Either I have crappy batteries or it's just not strong. I buy more batteries at the dollar tree. If I try to keep it on all night it goes dead.

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!

You can run 'em 24/7 if you need to. They get warm, but not hot. I'm guessing a bigger issue is that they (intentionally) put in some UV LEDs to simulate sunlight, so you may want to have UV absorbing glasses when working around the light.

The Amazon page I am looking at has an image of the bulb's ratings label, and it says 31.9 years at 3 hours a day. That would likely be about four years full time use since heat is probably not much a contributor with a bulb this small. I suspect they would really last much longer.

I've had these for a few month now, and so far so good. One I keep on downstairs on the first floor all night every night, and it is working fine. I could not comment on anything longer term. Hope this helps. Perhaps the other reviewers got bulbs from a defective batch or something...

These bulbs are for my track lighting in my basement kitchen and I must admit that sometimes they are forgotten and left on all night. So far the bulbs appear to be just as good as those that cost $7.95 each. I have only replaced one since I bought them about a year ago. Truth to tell, I think the one that burned out may have been one that was already in the track.

I would say they are long lasting, I have been using mine for a night light in my hallway, so it's on from 8 pm - 3 am every day - for the past 6 mos, and the bulb is still going strong.

See Site! They use a C7 - 7 watt bulb - brighter than most night lights, which is nice. Unfortunately, I had 2 out of 5 i bought quit working after a few months. They were past warrantee - but Amazon isn't stupid and values it's good customers with their Outstanding Customer Service and replaced them anyway.

It would be 10 at that price. Each lasts quite long. Best night guard I've found.

It is bright, very bright (and hot) but don't expect them to last too long... they burn out too quickly. Purchased these several times because of their brightness, but gave up reordering them because they are too pricey for the amount of time they last. (70 days tops in my numerous purchases) Good luck.

Mine are still working. One fell and cracked a bit but it still lights up at night. They don't last all night but they still do light up. I think you might want to send them back and try a second pair.

The Play Circuit comes with one non-illuminated ball. I ordered the Catit Design Senses Illuminated Ball - 2-Pack separately. There is no way to replace the batteries in the light up balls once they burn out, the only option is to order new ones. The company that makes the Catit branded toys sells most replacement parts at www.hagen.com and even covers their larger toy designs by warranty, but they don't seem to sell the illuminated balls on their website. Amazon.com is the only place I have looked for them and they cost just under $11.00 for two.

I've had mine for a few months now and never shut it off but the balls don't stay as bright as I expected. It's a nice nightlight in the hallway for the kids tho

I love mine. They all arrived in perfect shape. I have them in an antique hurricane lamp and they flicker like a flame in the window. But I only use them in the evening and not all the time so I'm not sure how many hours but it seems to me they burn a long time. I still have several left and when they are all done, I will order more.

No they are not that bright. Would probably compare it to those led night light bulbs. Best guess would be around 20 to 30 lumins?

I have accidentally left it on over night and there was no problem with overheating, when I noticed it the next afternoon. The globe is very thin and fragile and will break in to many small sharp pieces if struck, so I don't think it is appropriate as a night light for a child.

They glowed all night but only stayed bright for a few hours. Mine were very dim after that. It was still a cool party cup for a neon themed party I had.
