How come they fade after a month. I use them in a flash light at night for no more than 10 min. each night, when i take my dog out.

I'm not sure. I use them in my light when I need it, every other day or so, but they seem to last pretty well for me. Not sure but I'd check to see if their is some kind of short in your light, or corrosion on the contacts. Also check the "good till date" and make sure you store them in a cool dry place.

My experience is that some flashlights of poor design may trickle drain the battery. I have used these in my headlamps when camping for many hours and they really have lasted well for me.

These batteries are made for performance, not duration. I use these in my dive lights and I expect about 3 hours out of 2 batteries. If you use these nightly for 10 minutes, a month would be about 5 hours of use. I would say they are giving you pretty good performance.

I use these every night, on 500 lumen, for about 7 minutes. They last about 2 weeks on average. Same with other brands. The other settings will work a while longer but I need the bright light.

All LED flash lights have a hours or minutes rating on them. Depending on how many lumens it has will determine how long the batteries will last. The light I have only lasts 120 minutes before they fade or burn out.

I've used this particular bulb in my night lights for a couple of years and none of the bulbs have ever flashed. Plus, I use them in all my Village houses (over thirty) and none of them have ever flashed. Maybe you have a defective bulb????

I've had them for a while. Keep them in a dark cool place and when they turn orange they are not good anymore. At least that's what I hear. You will get a good couple of months out of it.

They will last through the night but only one (or maybe two) nights. The battery would quickly be extinguished and you would probably spend a lot on replacing the battery every other night. I also use a nightlight but I use a small light that plugs into the wall with a nightlight bulb in it. I also have one of these http://www.amazon.com/GE-Flower-Design-Incandescent-51386/dp/B002DNG9A2/ref=sr_1_18?ie=UTF8&qid=1410570644&sr=8-18&keywords=night+light which works really well. Hope that helps! These Mushroom lights are still fun and are really good for a few hours a night!

I have mine in a regular light as well as a ceiling fan. I have not had a problem with any of them and I know they have been on for many hours. They seem to last as long as any regular lightbulb.

I am thinking about buying these lights, but I want to know if yours have lasted? Thanks for your time :)

Hi John, if you keep them plugged in continually (which is what I would recommend for full effectiveness) then each bottle lasts about a month. I actually have a reminder in my calendar to change them out. I forgot once at the end of a month and paid the price a week later. :)

I don't know. We've had them for 3 months now and the glow is still strong. Having them out in the light seems to do it. Only time will tell if they become weaker.

It definitely doesn't fade after just an hour. However, I wear friendship bracelets made out of these every day, and they do fade somewhat over time--maybe a few months of having them on all the time.

I have my candle on at night for a couple of hours, couple of days a week. Bought 2 - 3 months ago, and still no battery change. If I remember correctly, they are LED lights, so should last through the wedding (and divorce :) ).

I've only had mine for a month or so. However, I'm certain it depends on how often you use them and how well you take care of them after and between each use. I expect mine will last longer than 6 mo. as I don't wear them constantly.

I go to the dollar store and I buy the night light bulbs (I think 4 watt) and they last me a couple months and they are on all the time. Maybe you're using a higher watt bulb. Nothing special about the bulb.

Mine showed up after 6 months. I put some along the entrance door of my apartment because they would walk right in when I opened the door. I guess it depends on your surroundings. I put them on again now and they're gone.

I have had the light over a month and the batteries are still going. I have it in my garage at the stairs that go down to my basement kennels so the dogs can see when they come out to the yard in the morning and at night. In the winter, the light is on nearly everytime I pass it because it is so dark and I haven't replaced the batteries yet. I may get rechargeable batteries for it once I find out how long they last.

I placed them outside and they have held up for a couple months now. They'll definitely fade but my dog now uses terrain feel as much as anything so they're worth using outside to get them acclimated initially

It depends. I had a couple that started dying out after three hours, but most were still going strong. A friend said hers was still going this morning when she got in the car. All in all, they are very good for the price and the flash is pretty strong. They were a huge hit at my party!

I've never had them on for more than eight hours at a time. Although I used Them a lot everyday over the holidays. They worked perfectly for a few weeks Then started changing colors or certain colors wouldn't work. Originally I thought I would get more, but now I'm looking for others. I wouldn't recommend for extended Use.
