Mrs Hyde   10 #1 Posted February 22, 2008 Hiya, we've been told that we can buy decorative wall lights run on batteries instead of electric ones, we dont want to have them wired in as we dont want to have to redecorate, ive tried loads of sites on the internet, but no luck up to now, so i thought someone on this helpful forum might know (creeping here ) Any help would be appreciated..thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Strix   11 #4 Posted February 22, 2008 yeah - that's how I understood it - so you're most likely to get that kind of thing intended for a caravan livingroom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
RiffRaff   10 #5 Posted February 22, 2008 I used to have some "picture lights" - (similar to eBay Item number: 180216846091) - many years ago, powered by 2 (or perhaps 4) AA batteries. Looked OK, but boy - did they eat Duracells!  Think things are better now, as the newer designs use LED's as opposed to bulbs....dunno of a local stockist, though....

poppins   10 #6 Posted February 22, 2008 I sent away for a museum picture light a few years ago, ran on batteries, I sent it back as it took about 6 LARGE batteries that made the whole thing top heavy, wasn't worth it, maybe now they make them a little better as this was about 10 years ago.
