How long these will last on storage? Will they still glow nicely if I only use them 1 or 2 years later?

As long as they are carefully stored they should have a decent shelf life. I have some from almost three years ago, still work when cracked and shaken. Nephews get a huge kick out of them.

If you place them in a sealed bag inside an air tight container and place it in a cool dark place they will last up to a year

I just lay them in the storage compartment of my camper. I make sure they're sitting on top of anything else that might be in there. 2 years later, they are still fine.

Should last for years IF they are in a sealed box. If they are exposed to light its not good.

I received them a few months ago (May ?) and the sticks each gave an expiration date of May 2019. Seven years is not bad ! Just store them where they won't bend or be crushed , which might activate the luminary effect.

I read somewhere that these are suppose to last for up to a year. Just make sure you keep them stored somewhere cool.

No longer than 6 months. After 6 months they should be stored in wax paper in an air tight container.

I don't know. We've had them for 3 months now and the glow is still strong. Having them out in the light seems to do it. Only time will tell if they become weaker.

Until they change color to a dark brown or black. It will depend on how much time you are using them. Some of mine have lasted a year, with approximately 200 uses. Others, not so much.

Mine have lasted for over 2 years and still work. After they get older than that they do not last as long and get hard in the package. I always have some left year to year because I cannot always find them when I need them.

They should not deteriorate if they are kept dry, however avoid moist and dusty environments while storing. Usually I get about 40 work hours in a medium dusty and noxious environment.Hope this helps!

Very long, I had mine for almost a year and I just made them 2 weeks ago and they were perfect. As long as you keep them in a cool dry pantry.

I keep them in an air tight container and they last for at least a couple of months. They lose a little bit of moisture but all in all, they are still good! I bought mine in early December and they are still good today!

These aren't wax candles. They are oil lamps. As long as they are stored sealed, at room temperature, and in a dark place, the shelf life should be about 7-10 years. I think it is obvious you do not want to store these in direct sunlight, or anywhere that would be too hot, and for that matter, too cold. We store them in the top shelf in our laundry room.

These are not designed for continuous lighting, but for intermittent and for a couple hours at a time. If left on continuously, the batteries will last around 25 to 30 hours. These had been considered for a commercial display case but were turned down due to having to change the batteries every 3 days.

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.

Mine look like they glow after they have been also. They eventually go out. I haven't had any trouble so I'm sure it's OK.
