Using a string of LEDs and a 9-volt battery

Sounds like a perfect application for rechargeable batteries - that
9V battery is not going to last long - it's a puny 300mAh source at
this rate of discharge:

2ft @ approx 1 LED per 1" = 24 LEDs x 20mA each = 480mA draw - approx
37 minutes of working time per a $1.50 battery.

There seems to be a ton of space in the base of that lamp -
definitely enough for a large(r) battery pack and a charger. Would
still need a cord though, at least temporary for charging. But I
imagine replacing batteries at that rate will get old really quick.

Yeah. I saw the article as more of a "concept piece."
