On flash mode it last 150 hours. Pretty good!!

Named after a bright red planet visible from afar, the Mars 3.0 has seven super-bright red LEDs inside a sleek water-resistant case.
Lens optics increase visible distance and side LEDs provide 180-degree safety-boosting visibility
Two AAA batteries included ($16.00)

And it's not nearly as bright as the SuperFlash. I have both and since I bought the SuperFlash the Blackburn has gone into backup duty.
