Q how much power does this use? on a 9v battery how long would one of these take to drain the battery?Asked by on November 16, 2015 12:00 amAnswered by the admin We sell these bulbs in three different voltages, 1.5V, 2.5V and 3.5V and are rated at 200mA. A standard 9V battery can produce between 400-600mAh, as such it would take approximately 2-3 hours before the battery couldn’t power the bulb.
