Lyyt Battery Powered Lights

Portable LED lighting gives you light wherever it is needed, with no mains supply or fixed wiring. It is handy on desks and in sheds, lofts, tents and cupboards, and during power cuts. LEDs draw little power, so a set of cells can keep a small lamp going for a long time. The range here includes a portable lamp, a pull cord light and a switch light.

A battery powered security light uses a motion sensor to switch its LEDs on when someone moves nearby after dark, then turns them off after a set delay. With no cable to run, it can be fixed to a wall or fence with a simple bracket. Check the weather rating, the sensor angle and which batteries it takes. The range here includes a motion sensor floodlight with twin LED heads.

Battery operated wall lights carry their own cells, so they fix to a wall with screws, adhesive or a magnet and need no wiring. You turn them on with a switch, a push, a pull cord or a motion sensor. Because nothing is wired in, they are easy to move later. The range here includes a switch light, a push light and motion sensor lights.

Yes, though it is rare, and the usual causes are damaged, mixed or wrongly fitted batteries rather than the LEDs themselves. Fit fresh cells of the same type, follow the polarity marks and keep the battery box dry. Take the batteries out of lights you store for a long spell, as old cells can leak. The range here includes LED lights that run on standard AA or AAA batteries.

On many battery LED string lights, the timer starts the moment you switch them on, so turn them on at the time of day you want them to light up. The set then runs for a fixed spell, switches off and repeats the cycle daily. Some sets have a separate timer button instead. The range here includes string lights on an automatic daily timer cycle.
