Is the optional ac adapter used to help power the lights when the battery is low or is it there to power the lights instead of the built in battery.

Hello, the AC-DC switch power adapter is good for quickly charge as table light e.g. or use as outdoor/indoor motion/sensor light with battery back-up feature instead of solar panel, and can't be replaced battery. Thanks,

Your lights should be wired to a low voltage transformer, which plugs into a regular outlet.

No A.C. adapter, batteries only. Mine is in use 10 months now. There is a low battery light. The back of the unit has a recessed cable channel like the idea of an adapter existed at one time.

hello, the included power cord is just used to power the battery charger. It may reduce the lifetime of the light if power the led light.

Thanks Joe Faz, I hadn't noticed the AC adaptor receiver on the light. I play with an 18 peice band and the less obstrutions the better. I'll stick with batteries for now. Good eye though.

When you attach the light to whatever you are attaching it to that acts as your ground. So you just need a positive run to the light. You can ground the adapter to the light as well I would think

no, AC power only. These lights are amazing. I would recommend. No more sweating from the heat of regular lights.

No you have to use the power adapter supplied. Unless you rigged up a 12 volt DC battery near it.

As far as I can tell, this lamp is battery only. I don't see anywhere that you can plug in an AC adapter. Also, the light is not very bright. I suggest that you get a regular OttLight.

Mine came with the AC Adapter, one short plug wire, adjustable stand, the diagram book and that was it....the unit works great and like I said I wished it had a light....but for the price and what I needed I pleased......Hope that helps.....Brad

I run it on the battery. The instructions that came with it said it is better to run off battery rather than run on the power adapter, although that does work too. Just used it in a small gig today and it worked great on the battery.

The power source is a little circular 3V internal battery. It is included with the device. There is also a light receiver on the face of the device that I assume contributes to managing battery power.

Mine did not come with anything to power it. I was working on some speakers in the vehicle I was installing them in though, so I just used some extra 14-16 gauge speaker wire and spliced the positive into my radio power wire while grounding the negative. The lights don't require many amps, so a thick wire is not necessary. If you intend to run it off of AC power supply, you will need a transformer to change the alternating current(AC) to direct current(DC). Kind of like the charging cords do for rechargeable devices.

Yeah. If the battery gets used up just plug it via usb to your computer, 115vac, car usb converter...Lights go all disco too. Pretty cool imho

You can find the AC adapter online but you do not need it to power the light. The light comes with a battery pack that attaches to the attachment on the camera.A cord is then plugged in to the light. As seen in picture.

There is a plug in AC adaptor which is wired through the stand. The lighting kit is a separate purchase.

Yes. MINE CAME WITH AN AC PLUG-IN ADAPTER. I find using batteries to be much easier.
