This is BATTERY OPERATED.  It doesn't say that in the description, so I was surprised to discover that.  Overall, not a challenge, in that they're still really nice and look like the photo.  But no cord option. Main inconvenience is the switch is underneath the lamp on the bottom.  So you have to pick up the lamp and flip it over to turn it on/off.  Would be better if the switch was on the lamp proper.  All in all, I would recommend.... but "battery" should be in the title. Thanks!
