They run on batteries, and provided you aren't a complete numbskull you won't use AA's and think you'll get any sort of longevity. Sony NP-F730, NP-F750, NP-F760, NP-F770 battery packs fit this light. I bought a set of two with a charger for less than $30. As a test I fully charged the packs and put the lights on full output and left them to see how long it would go. Super bright, and after 8 hours not even a hint of dimming. I ended up turning them off long before they ran out of juice and because they are LED, no heat emission which is a good thing for any brides/models under the light that don't want melted makeup or sweaty clothing as well as for portability and safety.

Battery operated but don't leave batteries in it or they will drain overnight. I've lost a ton of batteries because of these lights!

I never unplug any of mine. They have been plugged in since I installed the unit.

They are just lights. What camera you use does not matter. They do need to be plugged into an outlet.

Not that i know of. Im sure there's a diffrent brand that has battery operated. These dont though.

Yes, they are rechargeable batteries. I will say I wished they lasted longer. I think mine last about 1 hr when not hooked up directly to the outlet.

This item does not have a battery. It must be plugged into a wall outlet during use.

Yes they plug in. They fit in an American outlet. I would not suggest buying them, because the ones I purchased were completely broken.

Yes Chris, they plug directly into the wall and have an on and off switch at the top so you don't have to unplug to turn them off.

You need to be able to plug them into a wall socket of some sort. They are electrical.

Plug in. I wouldn't recommend these lamps at all. They are lightweight and cheap. And the the 3 way brightness doesn't work. Buy something else!

Its not battery operated if that's what you are asking. You have to plug it in to use it.

They come with a plug. I hard wired an outlet with a switch and must plugged it in.

No they do not. These units require that they be plugged into a 120v outlet.

I have two of these, they plug directly into the wall outlet. No cord. Description probably said that so you wouldn't think it's battery-powered. These are beautiful.
