Hi. What about the energy to turn on the light? Is it by batteries or via wire? Thanks!

Hello! There is a cord that is hardwired in the base with an inline switch. On many globes the cord exits out the south pole on the meridian, this is a nicer setup with it exiting out the back of the base.

The is a low voltage light. It does not come with a plug, just bare wires. Mine is set up as a warning light when vehicles enter my driveway. It runs off a battery, where my main power source of 110 volts keeps the battery charged. That way in the case of a power outage, my light still works. You would need a power step down taking 110 volts down to 9-12 volts then somehow rig a plug to the small gauge wire.

Dear friend, Thank you for your email! When you connect the wire, LED will glow naturally , they are work relying on electronic. Sincerely, Ayygiftideas

It is best to get direct sunlight or the battery won't get charge properly and your light won't last long. I love this light cause it's on all night but when movement is detected it turns on brighter So the more sunlight it gets the better.

The light is not turned on by motion, only by photocell (on at dusk off at dawn). It could, however be wired in with an optional motion sensor. To keep the light on at all times, darken the photocell lens with a permanent marker.

Yes, the light should turn on by plugging it in. I know because I own it. Try plugging it in to a different outlet. If it doesn't turn on, the product is defective

Brittany, sorry about the slow response time, I bought this item for my Grand daughter and we set it up last Christmas, this item is battery powered and doesn't generate heat at all from what I can tell, I believe the lights are LED so they are very cool.

No, the light uses no batteries. It works on 110 V AC, or the same as the lighting in your home.

Sorry for getting back to you very late...I plugged the AC adapter into the light and it did turn on, but this does not say that it is running off the adapter and not just the battery. I would suspect it was running off the adapter. I could experiment and drain the battery then do this again. I modified my light by replacing the internal 750mAh battery with two external 2000 mAh batteries. Each will keep the light going for about 1:45 mins for a total of about 4 hrs of use. That is good for my long ghost hunts.

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

Both of the previous are good answers. I will be replacing the bulb in mine with an LED. As also with the other running lights to minimize battery use.

There are batteries inside the light. You have to remove the paper that stops it from activating though. Mine works but it is always better to have spare in case the batteries inside are dead on arrival!

the light runs on a VERY, VERY small battery. If you're thinking of using 110 power from a house light switch.... you'll probably blow the light to smitherines!! and get shocked and maybe start a fire. If, however, you attached the small battery to the light, then taped it somewhere near the rocker switch, it would light for a few days then burn out. I put the light plus battery taped into balloons and suspended them from the ceiling for Halloween, covered with gauze they looked like glowing ghosts.

Battery powered. Not sure about the back lit part since I bought it as a gift

I believe that it is an LED lamp and requires a battery type...not sure which one ...sorry.

It uses existing wires from the original lights. They are turned on manually with a slide switch.

Hi. I own 2 sets of these. They are small LED light. Low energy but nice light output. Hope this answers your questionShane
