Can this be charged by fluorescent light and is it compatible with Windows 7?

My office has natural light but being this a keyboard to used in an office environment, I would venture to say that any kind of light would charge it. As for Windows 7, I am not sure. I am using mine with a Macbook OSX version 10.9.5. I saw that another person posted yes that it works with Windows 7. The keyboard is reasonably priced. You could try it and if it doesn't meet your expectations, just return it. I am very happy with mine. Good luck!

It's fluorescent so my assumption is no. Fluorescents and voltage changes generally don't get along as I understand it. I'm no electrician though...

I guess so it can be done. The unit can be charged via regular power outlet and using computer (USB port)

Yes. Since it is operated by a 120v on-off switch you can use the compact fluorescent bulb.

I do not know. I bought the unit to adapt for use as a coin feeder for my coin sorter. I cannot imagine that it would not be compatible with Windows 7.

Hey, Wyelin. Really sorry for that. I'm afraid that the charger can't charge for the computer because its capacity is too small and the voltage can't support.

Since it isn't a fluorescent light, it doesn't give a glare like your talking about. I have mine right next to my computer and it works fine.

Yes. Then plug in the USB cable. There is a port with a cover over it. When the switch stops blinking, the light is charged.

Not sure, I just put them on the windowsill and they are fully charged at night. BTW, I accidentally left one on and when I saw it in the morning, the LED was still emitting a faint light! Also, even the faintest light will charge these, they don't even need direct sunlight!

Hi, just plug it into the PC's usb port (whiile the PC is ON) and that's it!..the unit will be charging!

not unless there is an ac/dc input that allows the monitor to charge. we don't know of one.

Yes, you can charge it by plugging it into your electrical outlet or the USB in your computer.

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

I would NOT NOT NOT recommend this - I use this with fluorescent lights and it missed over half of the start / stop times which are extremely important... Unless you are going to be around each day/night you want these to turn on and make sure they turn on and off at the proper times, I would NOT buy this... I actually use an old school one where you have to push the little button in on the side to tell it when to turn on and off and I havent have one problem yet... This is an instance in where technology is not better.

I have charged it from several different usb ports. So to answer the question yes.

You cannot when charging from a computer (that's all I use, so I assumed....). But from external power source it looks to be a yes. (sorry folks)

Yes indeed Kevin. Any light source with enough intensity can be used, however the light intensity is key for most effectiveness.If charging from a regular say.. Lamp bulb, I would recommend plugging into an electrical socket and charging via outlet and cable at that point. I hope this was helpful!
