Given the cost of four D batteries, I could buy a $7 6 volt rechargeable SLA and get beaucoup runtime with a renewable battery. A pair of CR123s would work in a pinch, too.
The lamp is cheap enough that I wonder if a direct 12V test is in order. ;-) Thanks for sharing this! |

I just purchased one last night. Tag for results of your test.
ETA: I just had to laugh to myself. The first I heard of the light was on ARFCOM. I do a day of yardwork, go to State capital for a tea party, go to Lowe's 70 miles away, buy light, eat lunch, check ARFCOM and the test is still going, ha. |

i believe this has convinced me to buy 2 of these. might even pick up 3 just in case. i have a couple of crank LED lanterns and there OK at best. if i buy these, i can experiment on the crank ones by putting in more/better batteries and better LED's, which will probably kill the damn things but oh well. it will give me something to do for a couple of hours at work.
