If the Bayco SLR-2166 LED worklight runs out of battery power can it light-up by plugging it in?

Yes, it's will run full power if plugged in, the only thing I don't like about it is, when the battery is low the lights gets dimmer and dimmer,

Sorry for getting back to you very late...I plugged the AC adapter into the light and it did turn on, but this does not say that it is running off the adapter and not just the battery. I would suspect it was running off the adapter. I could experiment and drain the battery then do this again. I modified my light by replacing the internal 750mAh battery with two external 2000 mAh batteries. Each will keep the light going for about 1:45 mins for a total of about 4 hrs of use. That is good for my long ghost hunts.

The other step required on mine is to turn the flash on. (Batteries must be in the flash as we'll.)You have to set the flash to determine whether or not both internal and external power are to be used.

You need to use the DC power adapter. The camera does not have its own internal battery.

Yes, I did change the battery in mine because it wasn't working. I have two lights and one quit working. I bought replacement batteries and changed them with no problem, but the one still didn't work. Unless you know it it the battery for sure, I would not waist your money on new batteries if it just doesn't work.

No, you plug it in - Regular 110/120VNo place for batteries - supposed to draw minimal power (equivalent to 30W light bulb??). Unit works great!

fully charged: the light will go out. Suggest that contact the seller to describe the issue in detail.

Haven't done that kind of research on the device, but to prevent draining, you could always unplug the battery from the light. Mine has been unplugged for months. I have yet to charge the battery since first receiving it, but connected the light yesterday and it still as bright as ever and runs all four phases without issue (high, low, intermittent flash, off).

I'm not certain. I just put the batteries in and use it. I notice a tremendous difference in the life and power of the flash. I don't remember whether the light comes on.

yes if the camera has power, I powered mine with the back up lights so it will not function that way.

Yes, the light should turn on by plugging it in. I know because I own it. Try plugging it in to a different outlet. If it doesn't turn on, the product is defective

Yes, this light can be powered by two cr123 batteries that should be in the photo section of your local big box store. The other option is using the 18650 batteries which are available on amazon and maybe some hobby stores

I found this annoying also. Sell a light that comes without a battery or power supply? Anyway, here is Yonghuo YN-600 link to their power supply: YONGNUO American Standard Adapter Power Switching Charger DC for Yongnuo LED Video Light YN-600 YN600

Any battery with an xlr connector should work to power the light, you just need to make sure the battery is big enough. Here is an example of one, but tons of companies make them http://www.amazon.com/Lobster-Sports-External-Battery-Pack/dp/B006BMOEGW/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1411742614&sr=8-5&keywords=battery+pack+with+xlr+connector You can go to www.bhphoto.com to see a bigger selection of options. Or visit any professional camera/video store.

Yes, when I charge the battery the light shows a full charge, but the battery is still dead.

I don't think so. It runs purely off of the light sensor. The only thing you can do is turn it off completely. It is a great light though. Brighter than I expected and battery charge has lasted through the entire night during summer. Anxious to see if it can make it through the night in the winter months.

I would imagine no issues. since there's no electrical connection between the two. It simply uses the camera's built-in flash to trigger it. Be prepared... this unit puts out a lot of light.
