PURCHASED A 12 INCH TASK LIGHT REQUIRING 8 AA BATTERIES.
IN MINIMAL USE OVER A 3 DAY PERIOD, THE BATTERIES HAD RUN DOWN AND THE LIGHT WAS DIM.
RETURNED IT TO HOME DEPOT FOR A REFUND.
WENT TO WALMART AND BOUGHT THE SAME ITEM - IT PERFORMED JUST AS BADLY RUNNING DOWN 8 MORE BATTERIES IN A COUPLE OF DAYS, AT MINIMAL USE.
DECIDED TO GO WITH A PLUG IN PRODUCT.
