It states it has a five-year shelf life from date of manufacture" but what is the date of manufacture of the light sticks you're offering?

The date of manufacture depends on the inventory of Amazon Inc. they Usually are shipped 3 to 6 months after the original date of manufacture

the package I have says they were produced in December of 2012 and their "Best Before" date is December 2014. Seems like a decent shelf life to me.

I do not know the published shelf life, but I have used one year old product which worked just fine. You might want to check with manufactuor or review product data sheet.

I bought these for a family camping trip and did not have them very long before they were used. I am not sure what the shelf life would be. They lasted a good 6-8 hours once they were activated.

Mine has a 5 year shelf life. This is great for me. It has what is needed for me. I love that I can grab and go which is very important.

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.

They have a six month shelf life and come with the expiration date stamped on the box.

I may be wrong, but I'm thinking water doesn't go bad. I'm betting the "5 year shelf life" is mostly to get you to buy more in 4 years. :-)Like I said, I could be wrong.

I recall only 90days. My last lamp from this manufacturer lasted over two years.

I'm not sure what the shelf life actually is, but I have had a bottle for 4-5 years, and it still works well.

When I purchased my quantities in 100's, they arrived with expiration dates that were good for five (5) years. No worry of getting old batteries.

I can't find the original packaging but similar items I have are stamped 12-2017 so that would make them good for about 5 years.

Manufacturer issues a shelf life or "best if used by date" that is one year from manufacture date.

I have received some units with only a little over two years of shelf life left, and some with almost 4 years. I have purchased 5 from Amazon.

I am not sure the shelf life all raped up I would not trust to be more then 6 months. I know they don't last longh after you install them even if you don't print anyting.
