Touching the shade activates three small LED lights, which turn off automatically in less than one minute. The lights are powered by a non-rechargeable, non-replaceable battery. The lights function merely to enhance the decorative effect of the sticker and provide negligible illumination to the surrounding area. The sample is being returned as you requested.
