A reviewer wrote that this item can be operated on 3 or 6 AAA batteries. Can anyone explain this? Is the light intensity the same either way?

On this item their are two battery chambers that operate two of the four lights each and they require 3 per side for a total of 6 batteries. The settings between high and low are only slightly different in brightness.

It's bad with 3 and 6 batteries , each bulb barely lights up an very small area like a spot light not a flood light, very narrow and not that intense compared to other lights and LEDS. I do not recommend!

This is an aweful light. Don't buy it unless you want a very dim creepy light.

The lamp just requires that AAA batteries be used, the method of developing 1.5 volts/battery is irrelevant. BTW, this is the only flashlight I now buy and have a dozen of them. I also give them as gifts. They slip in my pocket for dinner out and if a restaurant is too dim to read the menu, instant light: if the table is too dark, the lamp feature creates as much ambiance as you need with it's 3 lightness settings.

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.

If it works when you intall the 6 batteies it will provide mostly a decorative light. It is battery operated and thelife is not guranteed for any length of time. The one I got, and many other people, the batteries have a veryshort life with this unit.

The battery compartment has slots for 4 batteries but is only wired for 2. THe lamp is only pulling energy from the 2 slots with batteries that are wired thus the time the light has enough power to operate is cut in half. It is advertised as illuminating for 12 hours when in acutality it only illuminates for 6-8 hours.

It take 3 AAA batteries and works very well. Not a bright light, but seems like a lot is a very dark spot. Also make a very good night light (for travel) just sitting on a counter or table.

I have only used it a few times outside and in the attic for a total of 2 hours. Still working great. I have not had to change batteries. I bought two of these including one for my father. We both like the adjustable beam. Interestingly, when tightly focused the light projects a rectangular shape. We are pleased with the item and think it is priced fairly. Exceeds our expectations. Hope this helps.

Don't Know The Lumen Count, For A 3 AAA Powered Light Its The Best I've Had, the Battery Life Is TheTrade , Worth It In My Opinion

If you use rechargable CR123A batteries you absolutely have to make sure they are the 3 volt ones and not the 3.7 because the higher voltage adds up and can destroy the light. So only use 3 volt batteries. This light is an awesome light and great for a lot of applications with low and high mode.

This takes two AAA batteries. It easily and quick slides out of its mount, without requiring a screwdriver, to change batteries. It has three different choices of light...constant, or all flashing, or individual LEDs rapidly scrolling back and forth.

this unit takes 6 AAA batteries. battery life is, obviously dependent on usage. my father uses it for about a half hour to 45 minutes, once per week and it has lasted a couple of months, but light output has dimmed. it is ok as a supplemental light but I wouldn't use it as a primary source

It uses 4 AA batteries. I guess you could use rechargeable batteries. I haven't had to replace them yet. This is a very powerful light for the size.

Concerning the output of the led source. The light source is AAA battery, its light is amazing. It is extra bright. Never seen before. Try you will like it.

This items used two 'AAA' batteries. Although you could use rechargeable AAA batteries!

There are 2 sets of 3 AAA batteries, 1 set for the clamp/main section and I set for the removable display. I have had to change the batteries for the display 1 time and it is used infrequently. Despite the short battery life, I would not consider using another brand. it would be advisable to have an extra set of batteries on hand. The unknown question is, How often will you use this unit?

This light can use 3 AAA batteries but if you install the Lithium Ion 18650 @3600 Mah you will get a battery that has almost 6 times the power available as the AAA's. The 18650 is available with a charger for less than $10 and is absolutely worth the extra expense.

2 AAA batteries. I use rechargeable batteries. I also wish the light did stay on longer.
