For battery compartment: Also thought at first that it jammed, but it was just a gimmick. Usually you want the tabs such subjects always locate into the slots provided and then fold down. If one does so here, the subject is not at the best of intentions. Have then seen that at the other end are also still very small noses and the tray then simply pushed completely delivered. How it works wonderfully. You put a three AAA batteries. However, it is in a USB cable, so it's probably.
The clamp holds very well and can also easily be similar to thicker books Reconnect.
The two lamps can be bent in all directions. Respectively on the back of both lamps is a switch. Each lamp has two bulbs, you can select by pressing if a pear or both should illuminate. To me it goes a little lamp with only one bulb turn to read. It is a cold light, works by light. But disturbs the other not, if you want to read in the dark, for example.
I can say nothing about the battery consumption.
From my side very strong buy recommendation, a good product for a very reasonable price. And if you need the lamp fails immediately, the longer delivery time is acceptable.
