I might try using a cheap extension cord too so its more durable and less likely to be a problem if the wire gets tugged on.

have you ever tried a regular household LED light bulb? are they as bright as the high intensity plug in LED bulbs or not so much?

a charged up motorcycle battery would run 4 of these all night and probably then some.

Not sure about the household LED light bulb. most of them are pretty low lumens... but might still work. The LED bulbs that i ordered are definetly not high end stuff...... Cree bulbs are probably 50 times as bright but they cost big money... i just wanted something that would work good enough.
