They don't have it on the product page, but a Vortex rep that hangs out on arfcom claims about 1500 hours with a CR123. That's about six months if you left it on constantly. But it does have a 15-hour auto-shutoff, IIRC.

I'd recommend holding off for a bit. Much teething pains.

1500hrs with a CR123 on medium settings and about 600hrs with a rechargeable. I ordered a couple to play with. I figured if nothing else I could leave a rechargeable one hooked up on my indoor ready guns LOL.

We'll see how well they work, they look pretty promising IMO and being backed up by a super solid warrantee made it a more sensible decision for me. I probably wouldn't have tried one if it wasn't a company that was great about addressing any issues and I very much like that they are American made. I want to support American made whenever possible..........dj
