The black lamp in the description now says it takes 4 AA batteries. Did they change the product or is the info inaccurate?

The one I purchased has 3 AA batteries and is worthless! I am not surprised they added another battery. This would make the light far more usable. I just about to toss mine!

i just checked my ott lamp and i have only 3 battteries. maybe they updated the lamp. does the lamp itself have room for 4 batteries or perhaps it was a typo.

I am 99% sure it is 4 AA batteries. I will check when i get home and let you know if it is any different. But I know I did not need special batteries. It was either 4A of two D batteries. Hope this helps.

Yes, it takes four AA type batteries. I use it quite a bit and the batteries seem to last a long time.

The people who report that this uses a AAA battery must have received a different product than I did. Mine came with a 23A battery - a small battery that I have never seen anywhere else and cannot buy at my local store (must be ordered on Amazon).

It takes three AAA batteries. It is the best light I have found for my Rhodesian and yellow lab. I walked my dogs at 4AM out it the fields by my house off leash and I can see them from a distance. It is worth the money and the best place to get them is through Dr. Foster.

David, they take 3 AAA batteries. They are a little hard to replace in that you must unscrew 3 screws on the back of the unit. But I use mine in an outside shed that has no light. They work very well.

It takes 4 AA batteries. The batteries I have used have lasted a long time. I haven't used rechargeable batteries in it yet.

I have only put batteries in it when I first got it. I think it takes AA but not 100% sure it has been awhile since I got it. I did notice yesterday it was little slower so need to replace I am sure. Sorry could not be of more help. Melanie

I believe it takes 2 AAA. I would have to take the light back apart to be sure

The one I just received today takes 6 AA batteries. So, not sure why the change from prior models. The package said to expect approx 200 hours of light before changing batteries.

It only uses 2 "AA" batteries. Be careful opening the back to change the batteries...and you should press the tabs in when putting back together. hope this helps.

2 D batteries. On a side note I accidently opened the top of the flashlight instead of the bottom to see what type of batteries were in it. When I opened the top, the lamp became loose and I was unable to replace it, making my flashlight unusable. Before that it worked "ok".

It takes a 6v battery which comes with the unit which makes replacement expensive. I was not aware you could make substitutions although the one I bought at Home Depot uses 4aa batteries. Would be interested to know if one could change to AAs. Otherwise however it is a very good lantern
