HOW LONG DO THE BATTERIES LAST ON LOW... OR HIGH?
1866346
I use my lamp rarely (three or four times) but when I do it is really H-A-N-D-Y! The thing to keep in mind is that it uses three AAA batteries not some exotic and expensive battery. And it is still bright as ever. Batteries for LED lamps, per Wikipedia, are supposed to last "significantly longer" before they fail, due to the low power draw. Bottom line: It's the right tool for the right job, beats candles and matches and, unless you're an octopus, handheld (tentacle held?) flashlights. And AAA batteries are CHEAP!

My batteries will last approximately eight to ten weeks with my normal usage. That usage will vary with each individual. I used mine hunting, working on my old car, getting the dog in after dark. The batteries are only fully charged at the beginning so don't expect them to be 300 Lumen all the time. I have really enjoyed using this head lamp.

While I have not specifically timed battery life under high or low settings, my observations are that on the high setting, the light lasts on the order of several hours but the brightness decreases fairly early on. The light still provides useable light when the brightness wanes but do not expect the light to be "300 lumens" for more than an hour or two. I do not use the light on the low setting.

Richard I can't say how long the batteries last because I have not changed my yet after having the light for more than a year. I don't use the light much--mainly to take care of coons that our dog trees at night. Probably a dozen and a half coons and it doesn't usually require the light being on for more than ten or so minutes for each coon. Hope this helps.

honestly, i'm not really sure as i haven't use it in an actual emergency or for any purpose but with a brand new AAA duracell batteries, it's pretty bright and last quite some time... i would guess about 12+ hours on low and around 8-10 hours on high (with brand new batteries). It may last longer with the emergency flashing (strobe mode) however.

Hi, I had id for a few months and haven't changed the batteries yet. I went camping 4 times this summer. It's bright and good on batteries.

Iʻve found that if I have it on high speed my battery only lasts 30-40 minutes. On lower speed it may last an hour. Iʻve also found that if I donʻt turn it on and off when moving from place to place, it lasts longer. Hope this helps.

I haven't used it on the lower settings for several hours, but I have ridden with it on the highest setting for nearly 1.5 hours and it did not run out of charge.

I found it matters how high the volume is. At high volume it lasts only about 4-5 hours at most.

At least 1.5 hours on high, but over 2.5 on low. This light is blinding even on low. I glued some diffuser film to the face of the frame with instant glue to remove the mild hot (bright) spots. It turns night into day. Buy the second battery if you are going long. Warning -This light (LEDs) just shut off without warning when the battery is discharged. Usually at the worst time.

on or off. it has a delay timer to turn them off, so they stay on for a set amount of time. I recently got rid of mine. they ate batteries : (

There is no low battery indicator. Just keep extra batteries and put them in when the sound is distorted or stops.

if its only a month old and the low battery light came then there's s problem. my batteries last about 18 months to 2 years. Are the batteries any good? sounds like the first set were bad and so were the second. The display will go blank after a while to save battery life. pressing a button will bring it back on.

Are you asking when it stops down (like 3 minutes), or when it runs out of batteries on high?

They won't last very long I'm sorry to say. I left mine on the 'timer' setting expecting to enjoy them off and on using the remote control. The batteries were dead in less than 2 weeks.

Yes, my hubby will have his on high and mine is on low or off. Plus there is an auto off after 10 hours. I love it.

The high setting on the lantern is about the brightness of a 40 watt bulb. It does not last (hold a charge long, approximately 4 hours) on a fully charged set of batteries. That is on high. I've had the original set of batteries in my lantern since purchasing it about 8 month's ago. That's using it sparingly on low for 30 minutes to 1 hour in the morning on weekdays b4 work.

They are high/low. No idea how long the lifespan is. I haven't had them very long.

I power them down when I sleep by opening the small door. Then the batteries last about three weeks. There is a warning tone about an hour before the batteries fail. After about 6 months the Game Ears are performing flawlessly

I have had it for a few months. Use it a few hours a week. Haven't had to replace the batteries yet.

It lasts quite a while. I don't use mine much but I have only put one set of batteries in.

I have realized it depends on the volume u use if u use low volume you will get about 21/2 hrs. .the higher the volume the the less playing time when using batteries
