<<The only statement they make is "consumes about the same as a
minature Christmas light" (peak)

This amounts to: P = (current) (voltage) P = ~1-2 watts, V = 3.3V
current (estimated) peak is about 300-600ma. Standby, which is very
important, is unknown.. I'd guess about 1 tenth of this.>>

Ken,

Just went to my garage where my christmas ornaments are stacked in a pile waiting on me to store in the attic. A string of 100 minature lights are 48 watts, or .48 Watts each. With 1.2 volt dropped across each, current is .4 amp. What we need to know is the amount of power or VA stored in the AA battery which is what I assume they will use. Regardless, I don't think power will handicap sales.
