How long do Party Dots® last ?

White Blue & Green Party Dots® will last the longest – more than 24 hours Red Orange & Pink Party Dots® will last brightly for more than12 hours. Blinking mode will last twice as long as the always on or glowing mode. These are conservative estimates. You can turn them of at any time. Colour changing Party Dots do not blink or glow, they slowly change colour from red to blue to green to pink to white and continue to cycle, as this colour changing L.E.D draws more battery power, they will last up to 10 hours when used continuously.
