You are reading this because you are looking into a good night bocce ball set. You can stop your search. The Playaboule V3 Lighted Night Bocce set is your answer. It comes with 8 full size (107mm) bocce balls, full size (50mm) pallino/white ball. All the balls come with 3 batteries installed and 27 extra batteries (3 for each ball). A 60 inch measuring tape is also included.  Everything fits easily into the included carry bag, which makes it easy to from zero to night bocce  very fast.

Being able to play bocce at night in the yard on a nice warm evening is awesome. Another great thing about night bocce is that you can always have a beer in your non-throwing hand. Night bocce and beer. Win-win.

Before you use the balls, you need the battery compartment on each ball and remove a small plastic tab so the lights will turn on. Push button once it light blinks, push again light is on and push again to turn off. Even though the the batteries last longer if the lights are blinking, I suggest if you want to keep your sanity, to have the lights always on.

Over a summer of using the bocce set, I got around 20-25 hours on a set of batteries which is pretty impressive. Obviously, on hour 18 they are not as bright as when you just turned them on for the first time. Extra batteries are very cheap too. Check ebay for LR1130s. The balls hit rocks, stumps, pavement and even were in the lake a couple of times. Technically the balls are water resistant, not waterproof, but due to a hill in the yard we were playing in, they ended up in the water a couple of times. The balls never turned off and they did float which is nice. Having said that, I suggest keeping them out of the water. As long as you keep the balls off of pavement/concrete they should last a long time to give you hours of enjoyment.
