Battery Operated

What is the difference between battery operated lights and rechargeable lights?

Battery operated lights run on replaceable batteries, meaning they can be used continuously as long as fresh batteries are available and require no charging downtime. Rechargeable lights use a built in battery that is charged via USB and will need to be plugged in periodically to recharge. For trade buyers, battery operated lights are a great choice for settings where continuous, uninterrupted use is important and access to a charging point is limited. For settings where sustainability and running costs are a priority, rechargeable lights may be the better long term investment. Browse our full rechargeable lighting range to compare options.

Are battery operated lights suitable for commercial use?

Yes, battery operated lights are widely used in commercial settings including hotels, restaurants, bars and serviced apartments. They're particularly popular for table lighting in hospitality environments where trailing cables would be impractical or unsafe, and for accent lighting in areas where running wiring would be costly or disruptive. As with all battery operated products, it's worth factoring in the ongoing cost of battery replacements when budgeting for larger scale commercial projects.

Can battery operated lights be used outdoors?

Selected styles in our wholesale battery operated lighting range are suitable for outdoor use, making them a practical choice for outdoor dining areas, garden spaces and event settings where mains power is not readily available. Always check the individual product specification to confirm suitability for outdoor use and ensure the IP rating is appropriate for the level of weather exposure the fitting will face.

How long do battery operated lights last?

Battery life varies depending on the specific product, the type of batteries used, and the brightness setting selected. As a general guide, LED battery operated lights are significantly more energy efficient than older bulb technologies and will give considerably longer battery life per set of batteries. For trade buyers fitting out multiple rooms or properties, choosing LED battery operated lights and buying batteries in bulk alongside your lighting order is the most cost effective approach. Full battery life information is listed on each individual product page.
