Does this light have the ability to work with an AC plug? I.e. does it need to battery operated or can I plug it into the wall? Please advise.

The unit is battery operated, and there is no AC input jack.I don't suggest to add a DC jack as the cable connecting the unit and the DC source:1. Limits the movement during filming. If you don't move while filming, to overcome the weight problem you can use a tripod.2. DC Voltage supplied to the unit decreases as the cable is longer.

As far as I know the light uses 6 AA batteries. I have never pursued the matter any further. It works very wellon the batteries which are sufficient for me. Under the AA battery compartment there are spring loaded terminalswhich look like they are for some kind of power source. Mine is not attached to a camera but is my overhead light for my light tent. Hope this helps

As the others have said, it doesn't come with a way to plug into the wall. What you can do is take one of the battery adapters it came with and retrofit a DC adapter plug. I had designs to do this to both the light and my camera for long filming sessions off a single battery, but I realized I didn't really need it.

The light is only operated through the sony camcorder batteries, or AA batt. Looking at my own device and there is no indication of any AC outputs anywhere. Hope this helps.

As Edward says, there is no DC input jack on the light. But I don't see why you couldn't wire one in. I've thought about doing it myself, to save the weight of the battery on the camera. In terms of light output and color temp the light is very good.

You would need to make an AC adapter, there is no AC or DC jack on the light anywhere as it is sold, but it should be pretty easy to either make an adapter to go to a DX power pack or to open up the light and solder in your own jack

No, it does not have any input for an outside power supply. I use rechargeable batteries and they have lasted a long time.

This is a great light and you must understand that this light is powered by 12 volt electricity, not your standard household 110 volt. So with this said, yes you could wire a wall mount switch between the light and the battery to turn the power ON and OFF. We use this light in a remote location that has no 110 power so we use a car battery to power the light. Hope this helps...............Dave

Hi. We installed this lamp as a replacement for our direct wiried wall lamp. We did not try to make it a plug in, so I regret we cannot help. We do love the lamp. Good luck.

It comes with ac wall and dc car chargers You then just plug into it. I use it at my hunting camp that doesn't have electricity. It runs a 7w/(25 w output of light) bulb for about 5 hours I bought 3 of them

Yes, each unit required to plug into electrical outlet. AC outlet only. AC adapter included. This is no battery operated because this unit is 24 hours standby.

This is just a wired outdoor light. Nothing soecial. Wire to you AC electrical circuit.

Yes, but it also needs batteries and must be plugged into a wall outlet also. It works very well and lights up.

You will have to attach a cord with a plug on it to the wires on the back of the lamp assembly. Ideally, it should be wall mounted and wired to a circuit with a switch.

No, it uses your home's AC electricity and you have to connect it up. I used a plug & wire from my previous light that went kaput. Or you could wire it to light socket wires. Not too hard if you've ever changed a light fixture.

Yes, the unit comes with an AC power cord to plug into the wall. It also has the ability to use batteries, which makes it portable to use anywhere where there is no ac power.

This is a plug in light. You would have to strop the plug off first and make the wires ready. Easier to get a light ready to go into the wall line.

It is not battery powered. It plugs in the wall socket. One comment the light is not that bright. No sure if you can get a bright bulb for it.

This is a plug in unit (not battery operated.) So you actually HAVE to plug it in for it to work. It has a standard, American, 2 prong plug. Hope this info helps you!

It's not lighted so no plug or batteries. My bathroom has excellent lighting so it works for me

You can plug it into a wall outlet. It has an AC Power adapter. It can also work with batteries (separate compartment). Next question I will have to charge $500 per hour, good luck :)

YES you can plug it into any AC wall outlet. In fact I have not yet put any batteries into it, I always run it on AC power.
