Does the light hold a charge or does it have to be plugged in to illuminate?

It seems like it has to be plugged in. I didn't realize it was intended to work without being plugged in

Hi - no, it doesn't, unfortunately. You have to plug it into a USB port, either on your computer or if you have some kind of outlet or power strip with a USB port on it.

It has to be plugged in to a USB port. It works when the computer is in sleep mode but not when the system is off. Good product, no regrets.

You don't plug it in. You connect the wires from the light to the electrical wires. Easy to do. Just don't get electrocuted.

I don't charge mine very often as the charge lasts a very long time. To be honest all I do is plug it in overnight and unplug in the morning. I've never looked for the light to change. Sorry that doesn't really answer your question but it's what works for me.

It is corded - the little battery in it only helps to maintain the time in the event of a short power outage; the light won't work during a power outage. So, it must be plugged into the wall to work.

I leave mine plug in all the time. It only charges when their is sufficient light. It also works under some lights at night.

Hello Zoe. This unit must be plugged in. It is not battery operated. HOWEVER, I would NOT suggest you purchase this unit. Very expensive and it does NOT produce much light. Better off buying a traditional halogen light from big box stores for $12. I gave my pretty green light away.

it has a sensor and turns itself on. it runs out of charge during the night. if you don't expect too much from these lights, you should not be let down, careful when assembling. top is fragile. steve

Does have a light on it while it is charging doesn't shine much light off( it is red) but enough to be able to see it it you had it unplugged it would make a strong night light not sure how long

This lamp plugs in. The cord is of reasonable length. It uses very, very little electricy.

When the light is red, it's charging. When the light is green, it's full charged. It takes care of itself. All you need to do is plug it in. If you leave it plugged in, it will automatically come on, should your power go out. Or, you can use it at anytime as a flashlight, work light...whatever you need it for.

The lamp plugs in, but the light itself comes off and works like a flashlight (rechargable battery)

It comes with rechargeable batteries. They work great. The light is not really bright but does give off some accent light.

It has a plug. It also has the ability to run on batteries, but I don't know how long the charge would be since I keep it plugged in.

There is a key you insert into the on\off hole near the light. But it will need sunlight to charge.

It comes with a lightbulb which you cannot see. It has to be plugged in like any lamp.
