I agree, mine last about 2 weeks. I changed the batteries on my mantle last week and they are already starting to fade. I bought some on HSN and they are still the same brightness as when I put them up. I don't buy Bethlehem Lights anymore.

@mollymaggie Mine usually last a month for sure. We have them on the mantle strung through the greens. I put them up at Thanksgiving and replace them right around Christmas. Even when I replace them, they are still acceptable; but, I like them to be bright on Christmas.

I am sorry to hear that,.

Like @PA Mom-mom , mine all last over a month. I put my decorations up the week before Thanksgiving and don't take them down til after New Years. I replace the batteries once.

Some of my sets are at least 3 or more years old. I didn't buy anything last Christmas or the year before (decoration wise)

I will only use Duracell and have excellent luck with all my Bethlehem Lights products.

I think it depends on how many hours you're using them. 4 hrs., 6 hrs, 8 hrs.
