My wife picked up this hello kitty french maid lamp, when she was in Japan over 12 years ago. there was corrosion in the battery compartment, which i cleaned, but there is still some left. take 3 AA batteries which are not included. bulbs are VERY DIM, she said they have always been dim, but they are currently so dim they aren't useful, i don't know if this was a flaw in manufacturing, or if they can be replaced (as i don't see how). listed in used as is condition. please see all photos for details.
