Noticed that about the charger aswell mate, mine was on charge all night so thats the only question mark
Gonna have my first night session of the season next week and i'll let you know how long it lasts

Liam the green led eventually turns off when fully charged , in my case a little over 9 hours . you maybe should charge one at a time just incase you have a duff cell .... I charged 2 others I have from another light in 3 hours and again no green led .... I bought 2 x 5000 mah off ebay , uk seller for £ 2.20 , if you can believe there 5000 mah ---- here

A few month on...

I got one as did my dad and they are both broke now. Lasted a long time at high power but one broke within a few weeks and then the other last night whilst on a dangerous cliff mark so I would not recommend.

I'm going to go for a more expensive one

Got to be honest, I got mine on ebay from china! 5quid and it lights the whole pier up. Looks great and battery lasts about 6hours constant. Best bit of kit I've bought in years lol.
