Well, here's a question for you: what kind of box is it? Is it the 4x8?x2?
battery box with the single grey button (runs off 1 9v battery), or the
4x12?x3? battery box w/ 2 buttons (runs off 6 AA batteries)? I think (if memory
serves) that running lots of lights off of a little (9v battery) box was a lot
dimmer than using the larger box (6 AA's)... Otherwise, can you hook up
multiple boxes to add power? I forget whether that works or not... But I seem
to remember 6 AA's working a lot better than a single 9v...
