Will this lamp work okay for 2 hours if I move to place without wallport ? I don't want to take the lamp away as flash light.

More than 2 hours actually. I left mine unplugged running at max brightness overnight to see how long the battery will last. I was up for more than 5 hours before falling asleep and it was still running. Light at max wasn't as bright compared to when it was plugged in though. There's most likely a circuit preventing the battery from over discharging as it turns on then off for some time still before I plugged it back in.

It typically lasted 3 to 4 hours if I didn't attach USB devices to it. (I usually use about 85% of full screen brightness.)

The light source is not a bulb; it is an LED which is permanently wired in. Keep in mind, LED's are Solid State devices which means they can have a lifetime of over 50,000 hours. That would give you over 27 years if you used it 5 hours per day. In my opinion, there is no need to make it replaceable because that would just create another place for it to fail. Because it's a Solid State device, if an LED ever does cease giving its light, it's usually something other than the actual LED, i.e. the power supply or the connections. If this desk lamp ever fails, it won't be at the LED.

I don't recall after how long I had to change the bulb, but one, I do not keep it on all day at need. I have the lamp at my desk at work, so it is on for 8 1/2 hours a day, 5 days a week. The bulb lasts for quite some time, at least a year I believe before you have to change the bulb.

I can't see why you couldn't. The lamp has a standard plug. I leave mine lit all night.

You can still use your lamp for other purposes, as long as you leave the gadget plugged into the wall. Unplug the lamp from the gadget, then plug the lamp into the adjacent wall outlet. At bedtime, plug the lamp back into the gadget and you're good to go. Sure, it's a tad more complicated, but for the price you can't beat this dawn simulator. We own 4 of them, one in every bedroom.

About 3 hours is probably the longest I've used the lamp (I use it in my sewing room). I use CFL 120v 14w and don't recall that it got hot.

I have mine on a timer and it works just fine. Note that these lamps take a couple of seconds to light up after power is applied. They don't come with an electrical plug, you'll have to add one to the 3 wire cord that comes out the back of the lamp. I assume this is because they are sold world wide and electrical connectors are not the same everywhere.

Greetings, you would have to change the lamp out, and have a plug adapter. It is initially, for 110 volts. hope that helps.

It comes with directions but I misplaced them so this is what I remember. It turns itself off after an hour at full bright. It takes 30 minutes to get full bright. I leave the lamp switch on all the time and it does its thing every day. Same schedule every day. If you want to sleep late on the weekend you can unplug it and later plug it in 8hours before you want to wake up. Or they have a programable one that cost more (~10$). They have a informative website. I don't recall the address.

Thanks for the info. I hope to goodness that the lamp life is not 3,000hrs! I've been waiting years to buy a projector that doesn't require rip-off bulb replacements. My own HS201 is on a UPS truck at this very moment, waiting to be delivered to my house...

You can set timer up and keep in the outlet .. When you're ready to travel you can plug the lamp into the timer and it's good to go :)

Paul,Yes this lamp is really good. My recommendation is that you always reset the counter of hours on your projector before you change the lamp. Panasonic has set up the system so it stops working after 2000 hours, but if you reset the counter you can use your old amp for an extra 500 to 1000 hours ...

yes. the lamp is functional while plugged in. You can turn it off with the regular switch...or use the remote or your iphone if you are away

you can probably use a timer with this lamp. i keep mine on all day with a low-wattage nightlight bulb in it (7w) to keep a little light in the front foyer of my house all day. turn it off when i get home, then turn it on again before bed to keep a little light by staircase to illuminate steps. depending on the size wattage bulb you use, it illuminates enough light to serve its purpose. i use mine not as lamp to be visible from the outside (it's in a corner table in my front foyer by my front door) to be used as a low light just enough to illuminate the area for which it serves. but you can use a larger wattage bulb to produce more light. mind you, the lamp is small (see dimensions w/ ad) so it would never light up an entire room. they make this lamp in larger sizes as well. it is a beautiful, well-made lamp. the glass globe is beautiful. this was an excellent purchase for my needs and well-priced. i am sure you will not be disappointed. good luck!

I have the same model of lamp. But it is good to share with a fellow customer my experience with the 10 w whish has the same structure. I had a 10 w whish did not lite one day. I open and at the inside that this type of lamp has integated circuit with a non replaceble led bulb. So the best advice is to discard and replace it with a new one.

If you want to leave the other two lights on all the time this will work fine. Obviously if you turnthe switch off the unit will not work. If you turn the switch off and back on again later the motionsensor lamp will turn on and stay on for about 10 minutes then turn off and turn on when it sensesmotion
