Can this light be plugged into a wall socket and run without the batteries? Also, does it come with a way to charge 2 batteries at the same time?

I have never used the plug and it does come with a charger for 2 batteries. Unfortunately only one side charges after only a few months. Not pleased about that. The light itself is great but one of the batteries comes loose if I go over a bump with my tripod on dolly or bump the light.

It comes with a cigarette lighter plug so you can run it off an external battery. The included charger charges 2 batteries at once. Love it

I gave the light away as a gift to one of my kids, so I really don't know. Sorry.

It comes with two batteries, a recharger, the cable for the recharger can be plugged directly in, and it comes with a cigarette lighter plug that will work for both I assume, though I have never used it.

Yeah, the charger does both at the same time. It takes a few hours to charge but they last forever! I think you can plug them right into the wall but I've honesty never tried because the batteries last so long.

The unit can be plugged directly into the wall and run without batteries. That was a BIG deal for me and I could not find the answer to that myself. So glad to tell you... YES! And I highly recommend this unit. Also, you can charge both batteries at the same time.

I found out the hard way it doesn't take standard batteries-save yourself some time and get the charger kit with it-it should come with two batteries. Mine did but I ordered it separate afterwards. It's a nice little light. It has a strobe and an SOS flash. Good Luck.

it must be plugged into a wall socket. Or if you have a power inverter you could use a 12vt outlet. It does not have a battery in it.

This one is plugged into a wall socket. The battery powered ones are weak in my opinion and do not last as long.

This piece of equipment has no internal power source so it requires the wall plug. There are self contained battery jumpers on the market which is what you want, however they don't recharge batteries on their own. Different needs, different equipment.

I recommend getting the Tenergy smart charger, which comes with 2 batteries (18650 form factor, which this light needs). Should be around $30. That's all you'll need. Important feature: it charges the two slots completely independently.

No,this is not battery operated. You need to plug it into a 120 volt/ac outlet. I believe it uses two watts of electricity. It's economical and actually does give off a lot of light. It does not however rotate a lot in its socket.

I've ordered 3 lights from 2 vendors from this item page, and all came bundled with a power supply (packaged separately from the main box the light comes in). It may be optional in some parts of the world but appears to be included with this Amazon item. The light can also run on Sony-compatible batteries. Note that there is a quirk: You need two batteries if you want to use both color temps of LEDs simultaneously. Each battery lights one set of 300.

Yes, it is designed to be plugged into the wall socket, not run on batteries normally.

Hello it is possible to use a plug, but it is not necessary because the light is LED, which lasts a considerable time with the battery. Of course, an electrician can certainly hard wire it for you, which I had done in our previous house . The one I had previously had one more angle of use, which I liked, but I have not seen that recently when I looked. It pulls out 12". You may wish to tape it into position while you decide on the most convenient height and location.

It works without batteries. When you pierce the wire insulation, thats hiw it gets it's power. The alligator clamp opens and you place it on metal for ground. That nakes the connection for a circuut wich activates the light.

It takes two AA rechargeable batteries it works great for a short time, I have sentThree back never hear what the problem was. It's to bad nice looking light.

Yes the lights can be battery powered. I am not sure of the time that they will run. I used 8 AA batteries run in series to create the 12V necessary to power the lights as a test. I had the lights running for at least 5 minutes on alternating flash with the 12V battery pack.

The light is charged with 12V/500mA. The power supply that came with it is only specified for 120V primary, so you would have to get your own power supply that delivers 12V/500mA.

No...it's separate (which I didn't realize when I purchased it) and the battery pack is a bit expensive. I now have a light with no battery pack.
