Can the batteries be left in the light, or must they be removed when using the 120-240V adapter? Amazon, please answer this question too for safety.

Tbh I just use batteries I'm not sure how the adaptor works I've actually been trying to figure that out

This is a question best directed to the manufacturer. However, I would offer that if it is not too cold to prevent regular batteries in a flashlight kept in the garage from working it will probably be all right. I'd also take into consideration where it is placed--certainly not on an outside wall or directly in front of a window or other indirect exposure to the elements.

I am using 220v and there is no problem with it. also, it saids 110~220V, if you pick the right light balls you can also use it upto 240v. the sokets are E12 size.

Do not use the light if it is plugged into the wall or your car. It would ruin your battery. It should only be used after it is charged.

No need that I can see. I charge the batteries in the lamp body and it works fine. The lamp will get too heavy to carry and too hot to hold before the batteries drain out.

The electronics in the light to make it work require 120 volts at 60 cycle. Over seas it is mostly 220volts at 50 cycle. So no,it will burn out unless you R at a U.S. Military Base

You can use it no problem, but keep the batteries in. There is no reason to remove them. I used mine that way with no problems.

Don't do it! The excess voltage would surely burn something out. (If they even fit.) There are numerous suitable "double A" batteries that will work, including many rechargeable ones.

I doubt it. Better to put a dimmer AFTER the converter block. That is how I run my LED lights, and it works flawlessly *PROVIDED YOU HAVE DIMMABLE LED LIGHTS*. Mine are remote-controlled 16' Cool White CREE strings, and they work flawlessly when dimmed *AFTER* the converter. The power OUT lines are connected to the dimmer unit, and the dimmer unit is connected to the LED string leads. I wouldn't try to put a dimmer on the 120V side, but that's just me.

You can certainly try, the voltage should work with the light, but you will likely get a 60 Hz flicker that may bother some people because the LEDs will cut off half of the 60 Hz sine wave from the transformer. If you already have the transformer, try it with one bulb; if you're just looking for a way to use 120 VAC, get a AC-DC converter that just puts a rectifier on the output of the transformer: (http://www.amazon.com/Wagan-Amp-12V-Power-Adapter/dp/B000P7O5DG/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid;=1386119232&sr;=8-3&keywords;=120v+ac+to+12v+dc+converter)

My basic answer is that the converter is used to charge up the battery for later use when not hooked up to a 110V circuit. Without the battery there would be no 12V lights or other usage low voltage use. The converter would operate but what good do you get from it?

It is a 2 part answer . If you use it regularly then it is fine to leave the batteries, but if it only gets occasional use or is stored, you must remove the batteries. This is not a rule for this lamp but all battery operated devices without regular use the batteries will corrode against the contacts and will destroy both your device and the batteries. All battery and device manufacturers warn of this.

Battery operated but don't leave batteries in it or they will drain overnight. I've lost a ton of batteries because of these lights!

Sorry about the delay but have been out of country. I tried opening the spotlight by removing all the screws but no access to the battery. Evidently it is only by unscrewing the lens can you access it. So probably best to ask them. Their customer service was very good about replying about my request for info about the batteries. I had no problem with going through airport screening in US, UK, Hong Kong, South Africa. The spotlight was great--people were asking about it--and was much brighter than those supplied by the game drives. Long lasting. I wouldn't be concerned about replacing the batteries. No problem recharging on 240v--just have an adapter.

Always have extra batteries around. When you turn the light completely off (out of standby mode) the button goes through a series of blinks indicating voltage remaining in batteries. Great little light and AA batteries are cheap and readily available.

Yes, you may use rechargeable batteries, they will not recharge using the adapter
