I typically ride for at least 3 hours. How long will this light last in the dark?

As long as the batteries are fresh you should be able to ride at least four hours, however cold weather will diminish to life of the batteries. I m looking to replace the batteries with rechargeable Ni Cads, That way I will have fresh every time I go out.Hope this helps and good riding.

Lasts 2 hours for me no problem and haven't changed batteries in weeks. I keep 3 triple A's just in case

It is depend on battery life. This is a bright light. I have been using it for two weeks already. It is still good. I mounted two light on my bike because I ride in the dark and ride fast so I want to see the road bright and clean in distance and in front of my bike so drivers can see me too. This is a very bright light. I am please with the purchase. I am going to buy some more of this light.

Yes, 3 hours at a time should be just fine. Of course you will use up more batteries with any light riding for such a long time, but you will get so much good use out of this little light it will be well worth it!!

I'm getting about 2000 minutes per charge on sayo eneloop batteries (that's 13 weeks of four 40 minute rides per week).

Dear Customer, If this LED lamp is fully charged, it will last 7-10 hours. Please be noted.

More than 2 hours actually. I left mine unplugged running at max brightness overnight to see how long the battery will last. I was up for more than 5 hours before falling asleep and it was still running. Light at max wasn't as bright compared to when it was plugged in though. There's most likely a circuit preventing the battery from over discharging as it turns on then off for some time still before I plugged it back in.

Yes it lasts longer, I did a 10 hours long ride with this on my bike and on full fire(Constant lighting). and even after that it lasted for couple more weeks for 2 to 2.30 hours rides. It gradually dims while its running out of charge.

According to UCI (I called them). It will shine/burn for 2 hours @150 Lumens, then it will start to dim and go into power saving mode.

I've experienced no problems whatsoever with this light. No light drop off after 5 mins.or battery drain with the light off. Batteries appear to last about 6-8 hours continuous use on high beam. My light begins to fade just as the batteries are nearly exhausted, as you would expect. The light beam while brilliant has a short range, no doubt the cars would see you, but a bike light may work better for you.

Not long at all. I had to stop using mine. When you put batteries in you get about 8-9 good hours, then light begins to dim. It is worthless!!

It gradually dims. I have used it several times for 2-3 hrs each without recharging. I cant imagine needing it to last 24 hrs on a single charge, but you could get a second battery and swap it without removing the light from the bike.

Hard to say. I use it to light my keyboard when I'm on my computer in the dark. It's lasted me for about 2 months now, but when I use it I usually only use it for up to an hour and I do use it quite often though.

On high beam I've taken a 1.5 hour ride and it was still burning bright at the end. When on flashing I've gone over 2 hours with no problem. Without a meter on it I don't know how long it really lasts. I've gotten to really like the light. On high my field of vision in dark, country riding is I'm comfortable riding up to about 19 MPH. When there are a lot of critters running around I do slow down to about 16 so I have plenty of time to swerve.

It all depends on what you're running on it. If I'm using a sixty Watt bulb it's good for 11 1/2 hours. That's what I use it for in the summer at festivals.

I don't know as I only use it for 1.5 hours at a time and I never really checked but I am sure you could get 4 hours or so all I can say is that this light is super bright and I sell led lighting for a living.Solid in the hand and overall impressed with the quality...

Sometimes it takes 12 hours, I bought 2 battery packs, They last me about a week of riding for about 40 minutes every morning before I have to change. I leave them plugged in to the light so there is always a bit of current draw even with the light off. I have ridden for > 3 hours on a charge and still used it the next day. I really like this unit even if it does take 12 hours to charge.

not sure about the exact amount of time. I bike from NJ to NYC it takes about an hour and ten minutes and I have used the light on high beam mode for that period time without any signs of low battery. I considered to be pretty reliable.

it lasts approx. 5 hours. that's why i bought more of them to put around. when the power goes out at night it helps to find your way around the house right away, then i just keep a few in where i need them so i can swap out if i still need light longer. the 3 leds in the front are very bright to light stairs & hallways, i like this model the best of the ones that i have. started looking into a back up power supply and/or a solar generator but didn't buy any yet but it would be good to recharge power for an extended outage.

Days... literally days. I rides 2 hours a night and it seemed like it would never die. Probably 10-12 hours at least. Maybe more

one AAA battery, replace the handle and slide the ridged button up to illuminate the long-lasting LED light. (LED light lasts for 8 continuous hours, or 100,000 hours if used only intermittently.)
