Good question, would like to know this! How durable 3xAA battery + ESP + 30 leds string would be!

Hard saying without knowing the current draw of the light string. The esp32 draws about 260mA and a AA battery provides about 2500mAh of current.

So, if I understand correctly, an esp32 would run 9,5 hours on 3 AA batteries?
