As discussed here a while back, be aware that these things take 4-8W
even when not illuminated!

I appreciate they need some energy to top-up the battery but I thought
that would tail off when the battery was fully charged. That's worth
knowing. 8w might not be a lot compared to a 100w lamp but being on
constantly makes it add up. OTOH my CH vales draw 6w whenever they are
on. I'll have to search for the previous thread.
