I love these hooks. I also use them without lights and find them very comfortable. I bought 100 batteries on eBay for less than $5. However, I've recently noticed that where I thought the batteries would drain fairly quickly, the batteries are just a little weak. I just put thick paper on the batteries under the cover and that was enough to hold them in their sockets better. I haven't changed the battery in a very long time since I found this out. I don't know how many "good" batteries I threw away before I found out. :) Glad they were cheap! I started with one of these hooks and gradually added one of each size. I think I'm just missing one now. So you might consider buying the whole set if they are cheaper because I predict you will like them too. :)
