We did not notice any decrease in brightness after 6 hours. Its about 2 years old now, seems well made, IPX7 water resistant. Lifetime warranty inside the US 10 years outside.</p> Christine used this light on the last search. We did not notice any decrease in brightness after 6 hours.

Have you tried their products? My experience was with a headlamp a number of years ago and it was very poor quality. In fact, three people had the same unit and they all died within 2-3 years.

All of the Maha chargers will charge anywhere from a single AAA to 4 AAs, with each cell getting the correct amount of current for it’s individual charge state.

Thanks for your feedback!
