How many lumens does this have and how many hours will a set of batteries last both on low and high settings?

It has about 350 lumens and is really bright enough to light up a room. They say it will burn up to 295 hrs on the low setting. I bought two of these lanterns because they are awesome for many uses. If you are just thinking about buying one, don't hesitate!!

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.

I purchased two lanterns and the person using the second one burns theirs on the high settings. That's how I know the approximate time for the high setting.

I use these every night, on 500 lumen, for about 7 minutes. They last about 2 weeks on average. Same with other brands. The other settings will work a while longer but I need the bright light.

Not sure of the total hours of use but I do know that I've replaced ever one of my sure fire bulb with one of Cree high lumens bulb and will never go back to surefire. For the price just buy a few of them.

i think that really depends on the quality of the battery you use. i use the amazon brand "AA" batteries and have used the lite with both down and up lights on for about 5 hours consecutive use and they did start to dim slightly. but as i find you don't really need more time than that for an evening on the patio. you need to keep in mind this a temporary lite source for your patio table and is not meant for long burn duration's. with that in mind, it's a good investment for the money. it's also good to have around in case of a power outage!!

I can't tell you exactly since I usually keep it on for no more than 4 hours at a time, then I will recharge it. I've had it on for 4 hours straight at the high setting without it dimming at all. I suspect I could get at least 6 hours at the lowest setting.

I don't know the exact battery life but all of the reviews I have read that compare it to other headlamps have said that the battery life is great. Of course, this depends on how you use it. If it is on the highest setting the whole time it will not last as long as when it is dimmed. I have taken mine on several camping trips and have yet needed to replace the batteries. There is a feature that locks the headlamp so it won't accidently turn on in your pack which helps save battery as well.

Not sure of the exact number but I use mine to illuminate my Lyman case prep station and I can use it an hour or so at a time for months without changing batteries. The only time I actually ran them almost completely down was when I accidentally left them on for a couple of days. In my opinion the battery life is above average when using a quality, (not necessarily expensive) set of batteries. I buy all my batteries thru Amazon, including those I use in my insulin pump. Always buy name brand but they are still a fraction of the price of local sellers. AAA, AA, CR2032, LR44, etc. I use for optics and other things and at the price I get them on Amazon, I can buy enough to never worry about not having what I need at any time. I elaborate because a crappy battery will give short life in the best of devices. A decent or really good battery will give long, long life.

275 Lumens, By far the best spotlight I have had so far. I use the 4 D cell batteries instead of the rechargeable. I've never had any luck with the rechargeable batteries. They never last very long. I use it to look around the yard at night when the dog starts barking. I've had it quite a while now and still have the first set of batteries in it that I put in when I got it.

The battery life is rated at 43 hours on high power, and up to 150 hours with the use of the dimming feature to balance amount of light with battery life. The key feature that extends the battery life of our headlamp beyond that of competitors is you are able to set the exact light that you need. Often (such as reading in bed or in the tent), you simply don't need full power. Our efficient LED bulbs maximize battery life by using less battery power if you're using less light. Note: As with all headlamps, you will see some dimming as batteries become weak and this is an indication to replace or even better recharge. Finally, if you are storing the headlamp in a cold place, store the batteries separately as leaving batteries in any headlamp during cold storage will drain the batteries. Thanks for your question and we hope you decide to become a valued Northbound Headlamp customer!

I use generic, dollar store batteries. With one AA battery, stays really bright for about 40-50 minutes. After that, the light grows dimmer over the next hour of use. I haven't had any problems with this flashlight.

Not sure the lumens. I did have two of these bulbs stop working after only a hundred or so hours. Not recommended.

It depends on how much you use it each day. I'd guess you get 12 to 14 hours on the high setting. Over time it will begin to dim. Since it takes AAA batteries it's easy to find replacements as you don't have to try to find some weird, obscure watch batteries.

From my (manufactured Jan 2014) LFP S300 on High, a CONSTANT "specified 85 Lumens" for 6.5 hours. A 13 hour runtime for Medium. At 59% of maximum output, a constant 50 Lumens. A 26 hour runtime for the Low setting, with a constant 25 lumens. The 3 lumen Nightlight setting ran [continuously] for over 174 hours.

The battery and light are not heavy. 1200 lumens is a very bright ligjt with 3 setting.I have purchased 4 of this lights.The battery holds a charge well but, you must disconnect the battery from the light when not in use.

Sorry about the delayed answer. . . 3 hours on high beam is what my owners manual specs say, and 97 hours on lowest setting. I assume this is with the 18650 rechargeable battery and not on the AAA batteries. Hope this helps.. .

Unsure of wattage or lumens. But battery is replacable and comes with spares. Bulbs are led and nonreplacable. Standard led life is 50000 hours

I have no idea what the lumens are. However, at in the late night, when I narrow the beam to it's smallest I can see a 4' x 4' area 200' away, very clear . That is very good for a flash light with one AA battery that last a long time. S. R. Kirkley Tyler, TX
