Searching For Battery Operated Picture Light

Create a Post
I believe House of Troy has them but.................they're PIA!!! The customer will be replacing batteries almost weekly!!

A spot light on an opposite wall is a better idea.
 
I agree. Every single battery operated picture light I have ever sold in my entire life has been returned by the customer.

Every single one!!!

I refuse to sell them anymore.

I'll go one better. No customer that I have sold a battery operated picture light to has ever shopped here afterward. One has even turned her cart around and gone the other way when I (almost) bumped into her at the grocery.

Fastest way to kill your business is to sell ####. The battery operated lights I sold were basically flashlights. 8 hour charging time 8 hours of light. Show them the lights, and then find a good electrician you can recommend to put in a ceiling mounted spot light. That can be put on a switch and turned on and off easily.

The battery operated lights are a pia for the customer to use and everytime they look at it they will curse you and won't remember to look at you good workmanship, all they'll have is a bad taste in their mouth for being sold a pos flashlight.

The electrician will cost them a pretty penny, but when all they have to do is flip a switch they won't regret the expense.
 
They speak the truth. Unless someone's invented
a longer lasting one, the batteries on those we sold
at the last shop only lasted about eight hours. If
someone leaves the light off and only turns it on
to briefly show the work now and then, it can be
workable. Otherwise, they feel pretty darn had.

And it is a dim flashlight. Not an LED. And you have to charge it so either they have to take the frame down, every day, or dismantle the light, every day, or run an extension cord to the light to charge it.

If they are gonna run the cord to the light, they might as well get a wired, switched outlet put in behind the frame. And if they are gonna go to that expense then they might as well put in a spot into the ceiling. A spot won't weigh on the frame and add stress to the wiring of the frame and cause the frame to fall.

And while the electrician is putting in the one light, they might as well get more put in.

Oh, and if they feel ripped off, it will be with the electrician, not you :)

"The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten."
A classic example.
