5 requires AAA batteries, the use of rechargeable battery is a must if you do not want to be in your pocket. Brightness white light type, the 6 LED lamps are barely sufficient to light up a small part of a work plan, pus to prevent unwanted illuminations fix this boom as far back as possible the work plan. I also recommend the use of a double face more powerful than the one supplied (which is a reputed brand from 3M yet) or better a screw fixing. this LED ramp is more suited to a small cupboard or drawer, as a work plan.
first part of my review is a few weeks ... and here we are in February 2015 ... lol it thickens // already HS LED that does not light barrette top and it takes 5 batteries ... so I do not recommend this product
