Have you gotten the 6 months of battery life that the product info suggest? Does the light get dimmer with time? Thanks!

I have been using it for about 4 months now. So I can't answer as far as the 6 month battery life but I can tell you that the light is still as bright as it was the first day. I haven't had to replace the batteries yet.

We have had ours around 6 months or so. It started blinking an intermittent red light about every 15 to 30 minutes day and night about 2 weeks ago, but it is still lighting the blue light at night. No dimness. I'm assuming that the batteries are going low. I'm still trying to figure out how to change the batteries. I think I have to remove the seat. But, then I can really clean that space.

I have not noticed it getting any dimmer, but with time is very vague. We've had one for 6 months and it hasn't gotten dimmer. It takes batteries, so maybe if it gets dimmer you change the battery. We loved it so much we bought another one for another bathroom. This takes away from the blinding middle of the night turning on the light.

I haven't had it six months yet. The light is LED, so it shouldn't dim. You have to remove it when cleaning. Can't get it wet.

I don't know about the lumens. This light is plenty bright enough for what I do with it. The high setting lets me see what I want to see up to 30 or 40 ft away. I also can't say to much about the battery life. I use mine for an hr or so each morning but only turn it on when I need it. That would be 5 to 10 min at a time. I am satisfied with the battery life. All I can really say is that the light does what I want it to do and I am happy with it. Hope this helps???

It dims.(not like huge bright OFF) My battery lasted 2 years with almost daily use.

Unfortunately for me the battery does not last three hours at full brightness. As with any LED light once there isn't enough better charge rather than getting dimmer the LED will start to flicker on and off. So I guess depending on the quality of the battery you get varying lengths of full usable boringness. I usually get about 45 min of continuous full brightness before it flickers, although capers batteries i have used don't last as long.

From what I can tell so far, when running continuous on high, the battery only last around an hour. But that probably isnt real accurate. My uses are on and off a lot. I dont usually run it for more than a few minutes at a time. I do know that this light does get hot to the touch when its been on for an extended period of time.

I have not had my light that long...prehaps the rechargeable battery is the problem. Have you contacted the makers of the light?? I don't remember if it had a certain life of the battery when I bought mine.

Hi Deann, honestly mine only lasted 3months. Switch to turn on/off, and day/blue night lite started acting up. The only blue light would turn on, then only the day light, then NO light. Very disappointed, because when we first received it I gave it a positive comment & loved it. I guess, I got that one bad apple of the bunch lol. Good luck and Happy Holidays

I've had my lamp for 6 months. I've never tested the battery for time duration, but it definitely longer than 2 hrs. If I use it a lot, I plug it up whether it needs it or not, just so I'll have it bright for the next use. Also pay attention to the recharge instructions. It's pretty tough, I use it for MIG welding as my shop isn't well lit and my vision isn't as good at 60 as it once was...HTH,Russ

note that battery life is specified at minimum backlight ; i ran mine for 5 hr 25 min , then i recharged even tho it was still going. i imagine those who got 4 hr. were using the default backlight setting.

It's projected to be like 20000-30000 hrs I believe, may be off by a bit but I have the product and I am very pleased in the 6 months of heavy use I've had it! Even fell off a shelf one and still has great picture, I would recommend getting around a 100 in screen for it, really adds to the experience and brightness.

No. It fades in time, about 25% of battery life left. It's a powerful little light for one aaa battery. The power last maybe 1 hr of continuous use

While I have not specifically timed battery life under high or low settings, my observations are that on the high setting, the light lasts on the order of several hours but the brightness decreases fairly early on. The light still provides useable light when the brightness wanes but do not expect the light to be "300 lumens" for more than an hour or two. I do not use the light on the low setting.

If it works when you intall the 6 batteies it will provide mostly a decorative light. It is battery operated and thelife is not guranteed for any length of time. The one I got, and many other people, the batteries have a veryshort life with this unit.

Battery life is good, we charge it every couple of weeks now. Once you get past the first training phase it lasts a lot longer. Also depends on if you use the light. I can't complain.

So... I bought it last summer and I still didn't change the battery... I turn on the hammer for my son to fall asleep at night and when I go to bed, I turn it off... After all those months, the light is weaker but we forgot to turn off the light several times... So I would say, it lasts a long time... ;)

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.

if its only a month old and the low battery light came then there's s problem. my batteries last about 18 months to 2 years. Are the batteries any good? sounds like the first set were bad and so were the second. The display will go blank after a while to save battery life. pressing a button will bring it back on.
