Mine run on batteries only. It did not come with a "plug in" nor does it have a place for a plug.

This is NOT battery operated and the light gets very hot. That being said, the light is bright and multi-directional and I like it a lot.

You have to have a transformer to run this light. It's a low voltage light (12 volts I think).

Correct. This is an emergency power failure light. Its main purpose is to provide you some light for a few hours, so that you can get to safety or find some other light sources. It is not powerful enough to light up a room or to last overnight. For that you'll need an LED lantern that runs on D cells.

You have to align a tab up inside. Look for something red on the lantern, line that up with the base. Do it careful and slow, or you will be spending quite some time getting it on. It is well worth it for the power and how long the batteries last. I pull out the batteries when not in use due to it having a electric switch so it is always on. Just have to use a flash light to put batteries in. I only use it for power outages.

Yo - batteries are electric. But, in this case 1) it will run a long time with the regular batteries you put into it, and, 2) you can purchase a plug into the wall with a long cord if you want to jack it into the power grid. There is a little spike that snaps into the light. Best book light I've ever owned - in 65 years.

Not a silly question, but no, it is not battery powered. Fluorescent lights use ordinary household current.

I gave this as a gift to my grand daughter and it has it's own light that is activated either by sound or a battery operated flashlight or pointer as I recall. It will run for awhile then shutoff.

The light takes the 18650 3000mAh 3.7V Rechargeable Li-Ion Battery. You have to buy that separately. Try an UltraFire, they work fine. BUT...as for the light, see my review on this scope combo. The light is the worst part of it - you'll want to buy a better light. Still worth the cost overall.

No the one you have is smaller, and can also use a rechargeable 14650 lithium ion battery. Regular AA only puts out 1.5v the lithium ions put out 3.7v. It probably also uses the Cree q5 LED, this one uses a Cree XML T6 LED which is brighter. This one requires a 18650 battery, a AA will not work, although there might be a 3 AAA adapter for these. There is also another version that looks like this light but is larger and uses a 26650 which is even larger than an 18650.

No, it is battery only. 2 AAA I think. It lasts for a decent amount of time since its LED

Concerning the output of the led source. The light source is AAA battery, its light is amazing. It is extra bright. Never seen before. Try you will like it.

The Stanley spotlights are terrible for battery life. If u don't NEED A battery powered light, don't get it. Get one with a chord.

make sure you pull out the tab that separates the batteries from the metal. The ''pull tab'' is on most toys and appliances that DO include batteries. I bought this a long time ago and I use it for hunting. BTW- it is more of a ''Widespread'' than ''Beam'' or ''spotlight'' as most people say....but I use it to leave the shooting house, not shine on the deer because it would not put enough light on it. If you are looking for a really good hand held light that zooms in get one with a convex lens.

Hi, the RiteLite requires 6-8 (not sure) AA batteries. Fewer can be used (minimum 3 or 4) but the illumination will last only half as long. I use Duracell AA. You can use any type of AA batteries you like. Overall this battery light is garbage (I've submitted previous feedback). It's your choice. My advice is -- buy something else.

The light comes with no batteries, charger or directions. The switch is terrible, sometimes it works other times it dims by itself, sometimes it doesn't work. I'm returning mine. It also puts out less light than the Costco light I bought that has 350 lumens. The Costco 350 lumens is twice as bright. I'm sorry I don't have anything good to say about it. Lots of other persons had the same opinion as I did. Kenny K The Gadget Freak.

hello, the included power cord is just used to power the battery charger. It may reduce the lifetime of the light if power the led light.
