Does this unit require electricity or just batteries only? The location where I need it has no power so I need it to run off pure battery power.

The sensor/detector runs off of batteries. The lights themselves must be hooked up to 120v AC line. This product works good. I bought a second one to control lights in my basement so I don't have to turn the lights on and off. It takes care of it for me.

This requires electricity. You need to hardwire it into your house. If you look for a Mr. Beam, it is a battery operated brand.

The light assembly itself with the bulbs requires electricity. The sensor/transmitter runs off batteries

You need an electrical source to power the main light fixture and batteries for the remote sensor. You might want to look at the Mr. Beams wireless LED spotlights. They use D cell batteries and are adequate for most applications.

Needs electricity! I was irritated about that. For no power try mr beams spotlight. I bought a few of those as well from here.

This unit is run off of AC plugged in power. There is no spot for batteries. This is a fairly big size unit maybe 14 inches H, 10 inches W and 6 inches D, roughly.

To answer your question, yes, it can run solely on battery power for at least a handful of hours if it's completely charged prior to use. The company recommends a full 24-hour charge before using it for a prolonged period of time, whether it's plugged in or not. If you're just using it for an hour or two, it's fine to keep unplugged, but any longer than that, and I'd say plug it in.

It requires 3 AA Alkaline or Manganese batteries. They are not supplied with the unit. There is no provision to run with external power. Manganese batteries have a shorter run life.

It needs both, you can run it for a short time on just batteries but some features will be missing. The batteries are needed to maintain operation when power fails. You should always have AC power and batteries.

This unit does not run on battery. This unit runs on the included AC-DC power cord.

It is battery powered only. It seems to use little battery power, I'm still using the original batteries I installed.

This unit is electric and plugs into a regular 110 volt outlet and I don't think it runs on batteries just mainly regular electric power. Have a good day.

Yes, it does require electricity so it is totally worthless if your power goes out.

We use the power supply and not a battery. Last week we had a power outage. When the power returned we simply turned the unit on and everything performed without retuning.

I own this unit. It has relatively modest power needs (less than 100w), but power is used for more than just the electronic ignition. There's also the electronic control system and an active venting system (i.e. a fan) that uses electricity. You could easily power this off a small generator or a battery system when in use as long as it can provide stable current. (Note: I have no idea what the warranty states about running it off a battery, so do so at your own risk.)

Not required, even if hooked up to a generator instead of city/county power. My refrigerator and freezer work fine as well as some battery chargers I had running off the dirty output of a poorly regulating generator but the UPS kept flickering on and off so I had to unplug it.

It does not use any battery. It connects to your source and the power is derived from your source i think.

Only one needs power, that would be the one that stays in the house. It needs (6) C cell batteries, I believe there is an external power supply for it, but I never used them. The batteries last quite a long time, depending on use of course. The wall unit outside needs no batteries. Hope this helps. I have in operation now many of these units, and they work just fine.

The item is not a battery operated unit. It will only function when the power is on. Also, my wife's has died since my original review.

Does not require electricity, it has a fan that runs on 120VAC but is not necessary. It uses a AAA battery for ignition but can be lit with a match. Very good heater, safe and attractive. Very powerful so no recommended small spaces,
