I didn't see where Ben said if the "connected power" was DC or AC, or AC line, etc.

No, he didn't state it - but he did say:
Hopefully a watch battery will be enough.

Which implies he's thinking of a battery - and a small one, at that!

Dale Callaham said:
If it is AC line one could use capcitively coupled power

That's certainly not something that anyone who describes themself as "very, very new to this" should be thinking about!

Direct connection to the AC line is potentially lethal - definitely not suited to an early beginner's project!
