I have a 2 Surefire 6P's, a TACM III, a Tac-Star(on my 870), and a knock-off I bought on E-bay. None have ever had to have bulbs(had the 6P's for about 7-8 years). Battery life depends on use. With the lithium you can leave it for extended periods of time and it will work when you pick it up. Run time for mine is average around 30 minutes. I test flash mine once every week or so, though, just to make sure. and like someone said, keep extra batteries. The lithium are $10 for two at Walmart, but Surefire sells a bulk pack that will save you money if you can afford to spend $75 on batteries at one time.
