Can I take these lights outside and put batteries in them so I don's have to use a generator or have chords all over the place?

No, unfortunately they have to be plugged in. But the make good for studio lighting!

No they're a simple electric light that require a standard electrical outlet

I'm not sure if they will be safe to use outside. You probably can, but I use them inside for my night lights.

I used them for an indoor wedding. I do not think they could be left outside because the battery packs would be too exposed to the elements.

Yes, I used them outside but they didn't last long. The timers don't work indoors or outdoors and the batteries did not last either. Sorry I ordered them, I was surprised because the reviews were good. Hope you have better luck.

Of course you can use these lights with your 12-volt system directly from the battery. I have used them most successfully here in the Sierra Tarahumara and even with vehicles to provide light while camping. The minimal draw and bright light makes them super--this is from a satisfied buyer, not an advertisement!

I believe you could. I mounted my outside near my deck and ran an electrical cord to it. It works great.

Yes, Ive actually done this myself. You can either pick up an 8 AAA or AA battery holder and hook the lights directly up to that (might want to put the battery case in a plastic bag so they dont get wet, mine did) or to save space you can hook up 2 9V batteries to a voltage regulator circuit which you can make for cheap with parts from radioshack. I did the thing with 2 9V and it was small enough to fit in one of those tiny project boxes which i then bolted directly to the bottom of my board.

You can't string them together, but as long as you space them to be able to reach the on/off switch, you really don't need to. They are solar powered so no plug in required.

You would use the ones that are designed to be outdoors and the connections should be soldered instead of the plugs otherwise you are just asking for trouble. If you do not know how to do this hire an electrician that has worked with these.

Yes you can, just make sure the lights dont get wet cause they are not water proof.

The Gazebo lights are not battery operated. You will need a 120-volt ac source to power them (e.g., like plugging in a household lamp).

Yes if you wire them correctly u can do that. There are different ways to connect the batteries. But are you using 24v. Most low voltage is 12v. Im no expert or electrician. Just based on experience

essentially these are just like regular lights that you'd put on your tree, only spaced further apart and with brighter lights. it's up to you whether you use the stakes (as this might create more of a safety hazard with cords being elevated). you can definitely step on the cords, but may want to be wary of the lightbulbs themselves.

Yes you can and they work great. I use them for my outside house lights to come on and off at a set time.

I enclosed them in a dual gang outdoor "in use" type power receptacle box. The short term simple approach would be to wrap in electricians tape.

These lights do not use batteries. They require either a wall outlet or a DC power source.

At the Batteries Store. These little lights are not dependable and only about half of them work. Good Luck.
