does anyone know approximately how many hours of operation I can expect from a set of fresh batteries when using the bulb in a Surefire 6P? Thanks.

Not sure of the total hours of use but I do know that I've replaced ever one of my sure fire bulb with one of Cree high lumens bulb and will never go back to surefire. For the price just buy a few of them.

When mine starts to go a little dim I plug it in at the end of the day an its ready to go the next morning.sorry but I don't know how many hours it takes exactly. I don't think the battery will last for a straight 8 hr but it should last a straight 4 hr. I like mine very much and would buy another one. And its tougher than some people say, I left mine under the car when i let it down, an all that broke was the hook on the top, a little NP1 and its fine.

I can not answer that question on the battery as I have not had to recharge mine yet. I used it a lot for the first week to test it out but have not had it on for a few months now. It is still running strong. I know Surefire products so I believe the batteries will last as described on their web site if not longer. They are the best you can buy!

Basically I got very sparse directionsMyself. These type batteries should not be charged over 8 hours. Will possibly overheat. Recharge when they go dim. I never need to use full power as housing gets very hot. Do not leave light connected to battery as small led in switch will run down battery. Hope this helped. Lee R

One of the four I ordered had a small charge which ran out in a half hour or less. Whereupon I charged all four batteries. In my flashlight each one normally lasts several (2 to 4) weeks when used about five to fifteen minutes per day. My flashlight is rated at 500 lumens. I am very pleased with the batteries.

I put new batteries in last year after I first installed the lights. I am still using the same batteries. Usually I leave mine on for about 2 hours at a time. I've probably used mine 6-7 times so far with the same batteries.

4x 18650 cells may last 5 hours in low. Used about 2 hours in low, still bright.

Hi Ted, The batteries don't seem to last very long. I have them on for at least four hours during my shows and I have to replace them every second to third show if I want the brightness, I do have then on full power. Hope this helps.Barbara

I have not tried fresh new batteries in the light yet. the batteries that came with it are operating, but have weakened. I had the light on for about 10 hours before it weakened. I am sure some Duracell would do much better.

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.

I'm not sure, but if you search through other Q&As; (which you should always do before asking a question), another person answered your question with this: "About 12 hours, at which time the lights begin to grow dim." So I'd go with that. (Of course, we're talking about a fresh set of batteries; older, previously used batteries, may last much less time.)

I've been very happy with the 123 batteries sold by Surefire. Much less expensive than those from local stores, optimized for the type of service seen in flashlights, and so last a long time in use. I have 10 Surefire flashlights.

I've always just picked the bulb up and inserted it into the socket. No problem! I bought several of these some months ago; so far none have died on me after being on 5-15 hours a day

Individual candle loaded with new battery can light for 70+ hours. We are very confidence on that as we had tested them before and all of them last much longer hours than 70 hours. Thanks.

Its 0.5-watt bulb is protected behind a shatter-resistant lens and is ... 100,000 hours, so you don't have to worry about replacing it very often. If I ever have to, I would go to BatteriesPlus.com
