how long does the lantern last

Like anything, it depends on your usage. All I can say is that it is well worth the investment.

I have only used a few time. bought it for camping.the butane suppose to last 12 hours and the wicks for it like 3 hours. the lantern part runs on batteries.

Honestly, I wouldn't buy this for the mosquito repelling qualities- the regular therms cells work excellent- your better off getting a regular lantern & some of those!

I assume that you are referring to the insect repellant portion. (There is a battery operated light in there too.) I never completely used up a strip in one use, but 4 hours seems about right. The gas cartridge is good for 3-4 repellant strips. The lantern is amazingly effective, in my experience, so long as the air is fairly calm. Because the repellant is given off as a vapor, any breeze will disperse it. The upside to a brisk breeze is that it makes flying difficult for the mosquitos. One note on partially used strips. Remove the strip from the lantern and wrap it in aluminum foil to keep it from deteriorating n storage. I assume that you are referring to the insect repellant portion.

The plastic lantern last long time, the blue pads 4 hours, the butaine about 12 hours. You don't need batteries for repellant to work

we used three evenings, about 2 hrs each time and it is gone. Refills not delivered yet.

About 2-3 hours per pad and 7-8 hours per cartridge. We do not use the lantern light much. It works great! We also have the belt hook on unit and that is great too.

The LEDS and batteries are still going strong after 6 weeks of near nightly use. The pads and butane cartridges don't last as long. About 4 hours per pad and 2 pads per cartridge.

The batteries have lasted two seasons so far but we hardly ever turn on the built-in light. The butane cartridges last about 12 hours each. The pads last 4 hours and turn white as they expire. The lantern itself is sturdy and with reasonable care will last many years. Overall, the anti mosquito function of the lantern seems to work well.

I had two instances when the power went out in our house and we used the lantern from early evening about 6:00 o'clock until about 11:00 and it ran beautiful for two nights straight. One lantern will light an entire room like a regular lamp. These lanterns are so good that I ordered a second one. Great battery life in my opinion.

If you put a battery in a smoke detector - it lasts a year at least with it's light blinking all the time. I've had this lantern for a good long time and recently purchased a second one as it's the best I've ever used. Still bright, still blinking :) The blinking light wearing down the battery is a non-existent problem.

According to Epson:Q:How long should the projection lamp last in normal operation?A:The projection lamp lasts up to about 4000 hours, depending on the selected Power Consumption setting and other factors. You can use the Info menu to check how long it's been in use. See Checking the Projector Status.

I don't see any reason to leave it plugged in 24/7. When the battery gets low a little red light comes on to remind you to recharge. I imagine this lantern will hold a charge for quite a while. I use mine every morning, 1/2 hour to 3/4 hour at a time, and probably recharge every two weeks or so.

Not sure but this lantern is awesome, it is small and bright, there is a blinking light that lets you find the thing in the dark. love it.

Not long. Seems like mine was dead after 4-5 hours of use over several months. Never replaced the battery so I've been stuck with a white, plastic bulb for years now. Wouldn't purchase again.

It lasts 4-5 hrs on medium power, its a very bright lite, I like it. If you babysit the power button it could go longer.

I did a test on mine which is about 18 months old. On a full charge, 3 lights illuminated on the side, it lasted 27.5 hours. It was still illuminated but about 1/2 the brightness of a full charge. You can easily get 24 hours of useful light out of this.

Also I am guessing 5 minutes or so. Really depends on what type of sky lantern you buy. I read descriptions carefully to make sure they are quality lanterns. They are usually good size in width and height. The fuel cell should be 3" at least and already attached to the frame. When the flame starts to go out the lantern will slowly come to the ground. It should be extinguished by then. Use caution in dry conditions. And never in real windy weather.

Mine lasted more than 24 hours. The light battery component is attached to the base of the balloon on the inside. In blowing up the balloon you have to pull a tab that turns on the light. Once the balloon is blown up the light is on and cannot be switched off.

This is a great lantern but I believe I would buy the larger one for power outages. It is really nice. Happy New Year.

Your question is not very clear. I'm guessing you're asking about the bulb? The flashlight I have the bulb is still working just fine no problems. It should last a long time. I use my light everyday.

The lightbulb will last 3,000 hours, approximately 4 months with 24/7 usage

Can't say for certain, but I've had mine for 7months now. It's a great light, and my turtles are much happier, and healthier since I got it. They love basking under their lamp. It gives off a lot of heat.

Unable to answer this question due to only occasional use of this lantern. So far I have not had to use this lantern for a long continuous period of time.

I do not know how long it would last, however we had a power outage of 1 hour and 15 min a few weeks ago and was during the day. The flashlight comes on automatable but our hallway is dark and the night light stays on. I pushed the button to turn off the flashlight and left the night light on. After one hour and the 15 minute outage the nightlight was just as bright as when it first blacked out. In one hour there should be plenty of time to get some lights going (flashlights etc.). With the lamps being LED I am convinced there will be plenty of time on the battery. Hope that helped, I'm sold on it.
