Do these units use battery power (or do they slurp juice from the fixture?) If battery powered, how often do you need to change out the battery(ies)?

You will to power there with the included AC power adapter. Each one has a separate power adapter.

They are powered with an AC adapter. I plug mine right into the outlet on the fixture.

neither , they plug into the wall. They have a power supply and plug into as standard wall socket

Depends on how much you use it, and what type of battery you use. The bulbs being used take very little amounts of juice from the batteries so you should get many hours from the batteries.

Mine are still on the original batteries and I've used them through 3 dinner parties. They have run approximately 12 hours for me and there is still light. They are led lights so they pull very little off the batteries.

Yes they are battery operated, but you can not change the battery, they are sealed into the unit.

I'm using mine a pond bubbler without a battery, connected to directly to a small solar panel. Obviously it only runs when the sun is shining, but that is when my pond needs aeration the most.

mine have been in service for years with no problems. i have this in a walkway brick light, some of which fill with water and sand covering the led, and i just clean them off. couldnt be happier!

Mine is in continuous use (years), though at least half the time it's keeping all the connected lights off. Only once did I have a problem with it, and powering it off and restarting it fixed it. Note that most of the load I have it driving is LED bulbs with a few incandescents mixed in; I'm nowhere near the maximum rated wattage.

That means no battery power unless you crank the device.if you use the solar and it runs down you crank it. Great light.minuse mine all the time.

We have installed 15 of these so far in the plant. The first ones were installed June of 2013 and we have never replaced batteries in any of them yet.

haven't touched it for a couple of years - other foks doing that now for HOA - but my best guess is light comes on when plugged in - I always check to see if on first really cold evening just to be sure - we use these with work lights on exposed plumbing under sinks in unheated pool restrooms -- beat the plumbing bills for frozen pipes.

I have my candle on at night for a couple of hours, couple of days a week. Bought 2 - 3 months ago, and still no battery change. If I remember correctly, they are LED lights, so should last through the wedding (and divorce :) ).

I have had mine for over a year, it controls two lights that are used daily, I replaced the batteries only once.

I tried to research this because I would buy a battery powered unit in a heart beat! Has anyone found the connection to a battery powered unit for this light? Thank you, Leanna

There is a control box under the sink that, yes, can be bypassed with if the electronics/batteries fail. I have yet to have to replace the batteries on the faucet, and we've had this installed for years. Also, it's a battery pack that you insert a bunch of AAs into, so it isn't hard to replace the batteries when necessary. That said, bypassing the electronics isn't as simple as flipping a switch; it will require reworking a couple of connections under the sink. Maybe a 10-15 minute job for a neophyte like me (pure guesswork given that we haven't had to do it and the initial install took under an hour).

Battery included powers the filter change light and is in a slide panel behind the filter. The light on the faucet blinks when it is time to change the filter, usually in 6 months or so. I'm not sure if it clocks usage or just time.
