How long is the life expectancy on these glowsticks? If stored properly will they last longer than a year on opened?

Yes. Had a party one year and then another one exactly a year later and they were fine. You'll always get a dud here and there no matter what but you should be good otherwise.

I have about 700 left I purchased before Halloween last year. Just to see if there was any degredation of the stick I took one out and activated it. They work fine after over a year, How are they stored? They have been sitting in my front closet. No special storage.

We just used about 500 from one year ago. In each pack of 100 there was may be one or two that didn't work. The rest worked well. Not too bad considering how inexpensive it was

I would say a few weeks, depending where you put them. If you have them in a rather air-tight container, they last a very long time...if there is air exchange, they obviously won't last as long. I like them a lot but I did have one go bad on me...when I was re-charging...for some odd reason, the balls turned black...rendering that one useless...the others that were in the same condition and were heated for the same time did just fine...

I believe these are good for a year, unopened. After they're opened, they're good for a month.

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.

Mine are fairly new (a few months old), and they're still perfect. With decent care, I figure they'd probably last a year or more with daily use. But I don't really know--this is my first set.

I am not sure- I would say 5 years MAX as a guess if stored properly. I put mine in the freezer with the hopes of extending their life. Cheers!

They lasted all night which was several hours. However, I do not know of any glow stick that you can reuse. There were only a couple that did not work out of the 100

I'd like to give a correct answer to this question but the truth is that I bought them for my brother-in-law who is a "Jelly Bell" freal and they never last long enough to find out the shelf-life but I would think a long long time.

They last for like a year. The expiration date is on the top it is show as "year-month"

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

I don't know for sure how long they last. You may need to check with the manufacturer, but as long as they stay sealed in the packaging so that they don't dry out, they should last a long time.

As packaged they should last awile. If you open it to see what's in it, you might want to put it in the freezer. I'm extremely satisfied with my purchase and would recommend it to anyone.

I had mine on a shelf for over a month and they were still fine. I would imagine they have a shelf life of at least 6 months or longer.

They last for quite a long time as long as you keep them sealed tight and in a dark place. I just seal mine back up in the bag they were shipped in and store them in my spice cabinet inside the bubble envelope they arrived in. they are delicious! I make vanilla sugar, vanilla extract, vanilla frosting, vanilla ice cream...etc

Not sure how long they are good for but they are sealed pretty well. Huge hit at my party, they were Amazing. Absolutely delicious. I had a candy bar and these were the only item guests asked about. They wanted to know were I purchased them. Hope this helps.

There was no shelf-life indicated on the tiny sticker. Maker says 10-yrs....Hummmm.... Some suggest "keeping them in the freezer." I think that idea defeats the purpose of monitoring occupied spaces. Unless of course they are living in their freezers. :o)

If you mean Shelf life. A Long time at least 5 yrs possibly 10 but in use It all depends on the load of device they are used in Mine was in the remote for our Lexus and it lasted little over 2-1/2 years so if it has been in use in a device you might want to get a spare ! Keep new batteries in refer. Until needed they last longer when kept cold . And the 2011 is the copyright date not the manufacture date you are right no use by date !
