does it need a battery to light up?

No battery required, it is a capacitor igniter similar to those common on propane BBQ grills.

I didn't take it totally apart to investigate but nothing noted in directions, no battery included, and no obvious battery door to open so I'd say no battery

I'm sorry I don't know. The unit was to big for the area I needed it to cover. I never took it out of the box and sold it.

My son's does light up, but we had to purchase new batteries for it as what came with it was corroded.

No, there's not a light. But it does have a "Test" button, that I press periodically to see how the 9V battery is doing.

Not in the main light. There is a battery in the red back light that comes with it.

No. It just has the single light it comes with. But you might be able to find one online.

If you mean the unit itself yes. All you do is open up the flap and get an extension cord to charge it. The lights will all light up when done

No, you should have gotten a lamp with this. Open the zipped up battery section, I've heard they store it there sometimes.

Yes. It lights up as soon as you turn the power on. I'm still trying to get more familiar with it, but so far I'm very impressed with the quality. Hope that helps!

no, when plugged in it will only light up when there is a power failure. you can use it as a flashlight at any time when you remove it from the plug.

No. The only light up indicator is for low battery. If you are a very fast typist, and you place this more than a few feet away from the receiver, it might not keep up with your hands, either.

It has to be charged. Other than that, there are no batteries for it. There should be blue and red lights on the side with the buttons when turned on.

NO! Although it pops up in search for battery operated lights, it plugs in. Yet another in the myriad Amazon search fails.

when you put the battery in it lights up doesn't have a switch to turn it off

Yes, since it is either battery or 6v transformer. But it is not very bright.

No it doesn't, but it doesn't turn on in the day time or if it is next to a porch light that is on....I've had mine for about a year and haven't had to replace the batteries

It will light up when it senses motion, not simply because it is dark outside. If they are not working, I would first check the batteries.

The product I have does not require any batteries, maybe if there is one to purchase with a 'light' added it may need batteries, however the stand alone needs none!
