It depends on the mode: roughly 75 minutes of light only on our 800-lumen combo, 60 minutes with light and laser together, and up to 16 hours of laser alone.
Are the lasers on SOLOFISH products safe for the eyes?
They are Class IIIa lasers under 5 mW. Treat them like the firearm they sit on: never point them at people, animals you do not intend to hunt, vehicles or aircraft.
Can I use SOLOFISH lights for hunting at night?
Yes, where local hunting rules allow lights and lasers. Green and circle-dot lasers are popular for low-light hunting; check your state's regulations first.
Is there a warranty on SOLOFISH products?

Can I mount a SOLOFISH rifle light on a pistol?
No. Our rifle lights are sized for long-gun rails; the 1500-lumen rifle flashlight is marked not for pistols. Look at our pistol light laser combos instead.
Which rifle light has replaceable batteries?
The aluminum flashlight with pressure pad runs on two replaceable cells, included in the box. All the others use a built-in rechargeable battery.
Will the light block my scope?
The low profile and the 45 or 90 degree mounting options on our aluminum light keep it clear of scopes; the 1750s sit tight to the rail on either M-LOK or Picatinny.
