Approximately how long do the batteries last if running continuosly? Thanks.

Doesn't use batteries! Just a fake plastic camera. I would look around for a different one if you want a real blinking light.

So far, I have been running mine for 7 months at 50 hours per week and still running on original batteries.

while operating - at least 6 hours. I think mine died during the 7-8 hours after a full charge. I leave it in my car and the batteries remain charged until I actually use it and I'd say it keeps its charge for awhile, on a monthly basis. Not too sure about annually.

Approximately 8 and sometimes 10 hours if I leave them on and if I buy really good batteries. They are easy to turn off and on to save battery life and easy to change the batteries

Thanks. How many batteries? According to your experiences, do they last for 7 months as expected?

I personally do not knwo as I used them for a teaching aid in a project but depending on what batteries you use they can last anywhere from 24-48 hours continuous (LEDs on). The consumption on it in standby mode is very little (~70 micro Ah) so depending on if it is placed in a high volume traffic area or not will also determine how fast the batteries deplete. The consumption when it is on and lite is ~70 mAh.

On the higher setting, they probably lasted around 18-24 hours. On the lower setting, you could probably expect 24-36. We used them in Haiti and were pretty pleased with their performance. Ended up using half of the batteries that I expected to.

I have been using mine since for over 4 months and the batteries are still working. I would characterize my usage as minimal to very minimal. I do not use it as my main remote.

I've had them a month and have used them for hours at a time and they are still working. I didn't think they were gonna last this long to be honest. They take watch batteries in case you were wondering.

I have had mine for a few weeks now and it is still going strong. I dont use it everyday. I havent checked the price of the batteries yet though.

From what I can tell so far, when running continuous on high, the battery only last around an hour. But that probably isnt real accurate. My uses are on and off a lot. I dont usually run it for more than a few minutes at a time. I do know that this light does get hot to the touch when its been on for an extended period of time.

I've had them and use for over 6 months and they still operate. How long they will continue to work is anyone's guess.

They last about a year. You can buy upgrades for it ( more run time). Batteries aren't covered. They are expected to be replaced.

they last pretty long for me. It really depends on the type of item your using these batteries for. But for me they always last at least 5 hours. Theyre pretty reliable for me. They also take like a day to fully recharge for me, i go to sleep & when i wake up their fully charged.

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.

Runs on batteries. But I wouldn't worry too much. I've used it six months and have not had to replace them yet. It's only on momentarily.

They last pretty long. Make sure you use quality batteries, like Duracell or Energizer. Don't forget to turn them off when not in use. I don't want to attempt to guesstimate how many hours, but we really don't have to change them often. If they start making funny noises, time to change batteries.

It' hard to say but I have had them last 24 hours on standby. With use and time as with all batteries it seems they develop memory and lose their capability to maintain a charge over a long period of time. I carry two batteries with me and switch them. From the beginning of my day until about 4 o'clock I usually have to change batteries or put it on charge.
