Comparing please always fully charged batteries or new batteries.
The weaker the voltage, the lower the illumination, clear.
But the better the response of the motion, at least for us ...
When Osram and chili LED then goes at the end of a bent for continuous illumination.
That shows the necessary change to a battery,.
positive:
- Packaged very well
- Compact, the label features will become apparent even without instructions
- 3x AA, longer term than AAA, but less than comparable
- Motion detector switches thanks TWILIGHT SWITCH only in the dark, thus saving battery or battery.
Others, like the chili LED strip, have some no twilight switch,
- Mounting options MAGNET (could be a bit stronger), hooks (are!), Screw holes.
- Housing can be separated as with smoke detectors despite permanent installation for battery replacement
Chili-LED strip for example not)
negative
- Luminosity only as Osram with 3 LED, the chili LED is stronger at only 9 LED light at similar angles
- Does not swivel, so for specific directions fumbling on the hook or something ... Propping
- Insensitivity of the motion detector (detection angle, distance), not as good as in Chili and Osram.
One must almost directly under it are when it hangs from the ceiling. And then after a night out ...
- 4-second pause .... what, whereas without benefit.
ONLY WAY: So close to each other, which makes the daylight mode ALWAYS off light.
The then jumps up immediately when the first runs out after 20 seconds. And now the beautiful alternates).
Unfortunately, one has then only the brightness of a luminaire, for without interruption.
- Lower faces the opening / closing of the housing in fixed mounting is complicated with screws.
The lugs of the bracket have used about 1 cm twisted and must then be rotated.
Then rather screw a steel sheet and only use the magnets.
- 13:12:14, significantly higher current consumption than the other LED lights in our possession, so even a star deduction. Same battery packs keep only 2/3 of comparable luminosity. Despite AA and the shutdown day.
So check for what you need them.
In our view, for cabinets, kitchen / bathroom / workshop / hall / garage.
Steps would be at the little sensitive motion detector + 4 second pause too risky
When using batteries, it depends on the planned frequency of use.
The more, the cheaper is the long term, the use of normal Ni-MH batteries (lower price per mAh, 30% higher capacity + more possible charge cycles, but higher self-discharge).
So-called LSD batteries are worthwhile only in sporadic applications (higher price per mAh, currently smaller capacity and / or service life, lower self-discharge).
Recharge Never Too Late, the series-connected batteries can be permanently damaged (total discharge / reverse polarity) at low voltage.
Then rather just an ordinary charger with buffered trickle charge (TKA, BC, etc.,) and a set of rechargeable batteries in reserve.
If at the end cheaper than discarded batteries.
If all this is too much and who must rauskitzeln the last just a sec to luminosity, use only batteries.

So it settles at a two-week exchange the batteries when operating the lamp itself.
No matter what sort batteries.
That's me actually too little.
If at least the motion-sensitive would then, as in the Osram and Chili.
The chili-bar in the same room is not faltering.

With increasing daytime brightness and the 4 second trick are now 4 weeks later with "normal" battery pack 4 years old, 3000 mAh.
