Are they battery operated?

No, but just be sure to get the correct bulbs with the correct bulb and volt so that it works properly.

they have their own electrical cords so plug 'em in ...........no batteries

Not battery. Cabled lamps, each 9 1/2 inches tall assembled. 4 to 5 foot cable I think. Great little Touchlight lamps!

No, they do not turn on. That would cause an unnecessary draw on the battery and take away from the motor. Also having constant running lights would diminish the batteries life.

No. They are wireless receivers and can operate off of batteries or can be plugged in to an outlet. I have mine on my patio and the wireless through my TV in the house and they work awesome!

Yes, but they are in the form of a rechargeable battery pack which is rechargeable with the plug in cord that comes with the unit. Have not found this arrangement to be any problem at all.

Short answer is yes. They have a stand by mode, but shut off fully after a few minutes. In stand by, you can use the remote to power on or back into stand-by. I wish they would stay in stand-by, but it is probably designed to save batteries when not plugged in. I usually just leave them powered on and turn down the volume.

Yes, they come with batteries. you have to open up the battery compartment and pull out paper tabs to activate them, though. They take little button batteries.

They are battery. Would be nice though . . . although a would be thief could simply pull cord and realize there is no power and proceed with plan

Yes. They are touch activated and will "turn off" after a minute or so of no activity.

Yes. They are rechargeable batteries. It sounds like your light is defective.

No and I use them all the time for a variety of different battery-powered things. You might want to email customer service and let them know though.

No, they are strictly electric. Furthermore, I found them to be undependable, even in short range between adjacent rooms -- sometimes worked, sometimes didn't.

Hi Bob-Yes, it is battery operated. I haven't used it yet, therefore, I am unable to provide feedback of the item.Karen

They are battery only. It has an auto off feature. Battery life seems to be good

Yes. The only thing I've found tricky with these is getting the battery compartment open. Once I figured it out, it wasn't too bad. Don't forget to turn them off when you aren't using them -- the battery will run out! (I use them at work and accidentally left them on over the weekend. Luckily, I had a spare battery in my desk!)

Yes it is battery operated. I don't see where you can dim them. I bought this thinking it was a plug in, and now it is too late to send back. Personally, I don't like it.

They are battery operated. I would put them in a small votive holder . They are very nice
