What battery will you buy for a battery operated light bulb?

In: Home Electricity, Batteries [Edit categories]

Answer:

I would get rechargeable batteries, in any case, otherwise you'll end up paying too much for battery replacements.

Look for batteries that don't self discharge, otherwise your light won't work when you need it after a few months. There are 2 new technologies on the market, check out the links.
