I want to use this for backpacking. How much does this lamp weigh "empty" and can it run on Lithium batteries?

I don't have an exact weight atm, but I can say that it feels fairly heavier than you'd expect from a headlight. I would look into other options such as Black Diamond.

It does not. In my opinion, it is beneficial to have the versatility to be able to use standard batteries. The battery makers all have rechargeable batteries now, so you could go that route and still have the option to use alkaline or lithium off the shelf batteries in a pinch. It's just a lot easier for me to carry extra batteries (although the run time on this lamp is very long) than carry a charger and worry about a power source. Just food for thought.

Don't remember - I cut off tags sorry. It's rated at 10 amps and should handle 100 watt light, or tv rated at 3-4 amps safetly. There very handy and don't use batteries.Hope this helpsBobby

This lamp uses 13.5 volt power transformer that plugs into regular AC house outlets. There is no provision for battery operation.

it is very light... a nice handy dandy tool. Probably that is correct without the batteries. I just weighed mine with the batteries and get about 11 oz.

I think the best thing to do is to contact the company and ask them. They have super customer service, and will get right back to you when you email them. I love the lantern and spot light I purchased. They hold a charge for weeks if you don't fully discharge them. I also love that they have a low setting, high setting and an off button. You can also charge them with the provided usb cord. If you are hiking, you can hang them off your backpack and charge them along the way.

That's probably correct, they are kind of heavy. But as an off-road light you want ruggedness & that comes with a cost in weight. If you look Auto Zone > Hella FF500 (http://www.autozone.com/autozone/accessories/Hella-2-pcs-55-Watts-12-Volts-halogen-driving-lamp/_/N-255s?itemIdentifier=208081) the weight is listed as 4.1 lbs.

Is weighs less than one of those large flashlights with 3 D cell batteries.It is very bright and a great buy. We use it as a hand spotlight on a boat. Highly recommend the light

It's very lite maybe less then half a pound. It has no batteries just a car cable and a USB cable coming out of it.

The lamp just requires that AAA batteries be used, the method of developing 1.5 volts/battery is irrelevant. BTW, this is the only flashlight I now buy and have a dozen of them. I also give them as gifts. They slip in my pocket for dinner out and if a restaurant is too dim to read the menu, instant light: if the table is too dark, the lamp feature creates as much ambiance as you need with it's 3 lightness settings.

Already answered, also keep in mind this is a desk lamp, the USB port is for charging there are no batteries in unit.

I've only used mine twice, with the rechargeable battery, and each time never had a problem with the battery running down in the 4-5 hour period used. The lamp puts out adequate light to see by for walking around and for reading. The high setting is better for reading while the low setting is fine for walking around.

I would guess the wheel and hub weigh somewhere in the neighborhood of 25 to 30 pounds. The controller, wiring, controls maybe another pound. Not a lightweight kit by any means. The kit does not include batteries. I went with 3 15AH sealed lead acid batteries which easily weigh as much as the rest of the kit. Unless you plan on lithium-ion type or other lightweight batteries, don't plan on using the seatpost mount rack thing for the batteries. No way it would hold up with SLA's big enough to run the kit for more than a couple miles.

With a v-mount battery you can carry this light around -- it is a nice portable light for run-and-gun shooting, not hot, light weight, no cord, etc. You can also run it from its cord and transformer. You will probably want a stand for it for conventional video lighting. Obviously, you need a charger for your battery. I like two batteries, so I can swap one while the other charges.

Not sure how much it weights. But it is very light. I used to backpacking and it worked great and very light.

Sorry Aaron I left this at home prior to leaving for our trip....will not be back until September. The light worked really well, just used it one time before leaving....can't remember the battery pack. Believe it was LI though.... Jay

I would say yes, maybe not for very thin books, but for an average book I think it should work fine. Without battery it's really really light, so the best estimate for the weight of the lamp would be the weight of 3 AAA batteries in your hand. I have to admit that I always use it with the AC adaptor clipped on my bed headboard (so no battery).
