What's the actual run time on the high setting before it starts to dim?

I'd say you could get about 2 hours nonstop before the light would be notably dimmer but even then it would probably be over 500 lumen

shorter than what you've been told so far. I've been through at least 8 sets of batteries since I bought the light. I keep a good supply on hand (buy them from Prime). I use the light mostly for keeping track of my dogs when I let them out at night, so each use probably averages 5 mins. I might get 10 of those sessions before the light goes completely dim. That would be 50 mins. When it goes dim, it happens very fast. So, this light has pros and cons. I really like the tremendous brightness that it puts out, but wish the batteries would last significantly longer.

I still have the original batteries inside and I only use it a few times. It still 1000 lumens.

It start to dim very close to the end of the battery life which would be a few minutes before an hour and a half on the high beam setting

I have not experienced the dimming problem they described. I have noticed that some of the colors are not as intense, red specifically. Other than that I run it for hours at a time and have no problems.

Dear Customer, The run time is: 1 hour at High Mode (930 lumens), 2 hours 10 minutes at Medium Mode (530 lumens), 10 hours 30 minutes at Low Mode (100 lumens). I hope I answered your question. Thank you,

It comes with brightstart tech. So it will automatically start at the highest, brightest setting no matter where it was left at before turning it off.

Not much. It will only run about ten minutes on high then overheat and shut down. It is basically junk.

I have been getting about 4 hours but I have never run it all the way down. I also have not changed any of the default setting so you might get more by cutting performance.

I leave it on all night (about 10-11 hours run time per evening/night), so I guess that would be the equivalent. It has a button for low, one for medium, then both pressed for high with a dial that goes from 1-5. There is also a safe heat feature where it shuts off if the device overheats.

Once the bulb starts which takes about a half a second dimming is immediate.

It dims very slightly after 30-50 hours, but its extremely hard to notice.I have well over 2000 hours, and its still strong

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.

Not sure as I have just used it for 12 hr but will check to see if I can set for up to 72. It is a nice low simmer.

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.

Turn it all the way up to 5 and wait until the light goes off... It's about 10 to 12 minutes.

Depends how long you leave it on. If you leave it on all night, probably a couple of weeks. It gets dimmer as the batteries die.

That depends on the setting. I've never had it on long enough to go out. I usually use it on the brightest setting and have had it last >90 min without dimming. I believe the manufacturer states that it can last 2 hours on that setting. Lower settings will obviously last longer.

Dimming of the light is a variable rheostat type function. There are no presets. The fan speeds are preset to high-medium-low.

It will take a few mins to come to full brightness depending on the temp, but it will start. It has an electronic ballast, only magnetic ballasts hum.
