Looks kinda large for mounting inside a cabinet.
Not to worry, lots of room. The cabinet holds a 6' tall stepladder, my Dyson vacuum cleaner, and a couple of shelves for the charging stuff. I'll mount the light on the ceiling of the cabinet near the door, pointing down and back.
That said, 4xAA batteries may last longer (perhaps) than 4xAAA batteries.
Of course. All else being equal (i.e., Duracell Alkaline), battery capacity is directly proportional to battery volume. Each AA battery has 2.16 times the volume of a AAA battery, so I would reasonably expect something over double the life compared to the same light using AAAs.
If battery life becomes a problem, I'll just find an old six-volt wall wart, cut the connector plug off the wires and connect them directly to the battery terminals of the light.
Just idle curiosity here, if I used a 12V wall wart, would the LEDs shine more brightly, and would it then fry the LEDs?
