I really doubt this will be an issue. I have been using the lamp quite extensively (on average at least one or two hours a day) for the past week and a half (ever since I got it) and the light has not even perceptively dimmed. LED lights really are very energy conservative.

To answer your question though: no, there is no AC connector plugin, so unless you get a custom battery-shaped connector (those actually exist) it is not possible to plug it directly into a wall outlet.

Something which might perhaps be a good idea: get a modern charger with overcharge (or w/e it is called) and two or three batteries. Place one in the charger, keep one in the device, switch when required. The overcharge option makes sure you always have a fresh battery. I do not use it for the light (since it is still running well on the original battery), but have found this tactic usefull when dealing the my music player's power supply.
