How many pads come with the lantern and can they be used for a shorter period than 4 hours and then reused again later?

There are atleast 4 pads as I remember and, yes, they can be used for shorter periods and then reused later. Keep the pads on the lantern out of direct sun when not in use. When used up they will appear all white as opposed to the bluish coler when new.

I forget how many the new lantern came with but the refill box has 3 butane cartridges and 12 pads. I butane cartridge is meant to be used with 3 pads over a 12 hour period. The individual pad can be used for shorter then 4 hours, just turn off the butane flame when you are no longer using the lantern. The pad turns white after about 4 hours of use so you know when to change it. Hope that helps

We purchased this last year but if memory serves, there were two pads included with the lantern. The first time we used it, it was on for less than 4 hours and the pad had not turned blue (the signal that it needs to be replaced), so we left it in for the next time we turned the lantern on. We saw no discernable difference in the protection. Hope that helps!

About 2-3 hours per pad and 7-8 hours per cartridge. We do not use the lantern light much. It works great! We also have the belt hook on unit and that is great too.

I think the best thing to do is to contact the company and ask them. They have super customer service, and will get right back to you when you email them. I love the lantern and spot light I purchased. They hold a charge for weeks if you don't fully discharge them. I also love that they have a low setting, high setting and an off button. You can also charge them with the provided usb cord. If you are hiking, you can hang them off your backpack and charge them along the way.

There are 50 lanterns and they actually work well if you first wait until the fuel cell becomes a ball of flames and if there is no wind before you let them go. It takes a while but then it lifts off the ground. If it blows sideways it could blow into something and set it aflame before it rises above all structures. So hold on to it until it is lifting.

They lasted all night which was several hours. However, I do not know of any glow stick that you can reuse. There were only a couple that did not work out of the 100

I have only tried to use a few to the point of exhaustion, but the ones I had lasted for more than 24 hours. I used three in little votive glasses to be a night light for anxious grandchild, and they were bright and cheerful for two night. I did turn them off during the day, and they burned quite brightly for 2 nights plus. I like these.

I assume that you are referring to the insect repellant portion. (There is a battery operated light in there too.) I never completely used up a strip in one use, but 4 hours seems about right. The gas cartridge is good for 3-4 repellant strips. The lantern is amazingly effective, in my experience, so long as the air is fairly calm. Because the repellant is given off as a vapor, any breeze will disperse it. The upside to a brisk breeze is that it makes flying difficult for the mosquitos. One note on partially used strips. Remove the strip from the lantern and wrap it in aluminum foil to keep it from deteriorating n storage. I assume that you are referring to the insect repellant portion.

First thing with me I only put in 4 batteries, 8 just seems to make the thing a bit to heavy, and if it were to fall with that much extra weight it would probably brake. Now when you put in 4 batteries only, place them in the battery pockets that have the white outline, the green outline pockets are only for when you are using all 8. Now when you re attach the bottom, you have to make sure that the center square protrusion lines up with the center square hole in the lantern itself, if it's not lined up just right the batteries won't make contact. It's kind of an odd system, but once you do it a few times it's no biggie. My lantern works fine, and remember you still get plenty of burn time even when just using 4 batteries. Also make sure the bottom is screwed on right, be careful not to strip the plastic threads, the bottom should be tight and even when screwed all the way in place. Hope this helps you out.

It depends on which setting you use. They really are only good for a night or two. Having said that, I refill the pads myself with 4 drops of eucalyptus essential oil and they will last indefinitely.

Sorry, this was for a gift and I have no idea about how many times it can be reused. Sorry!

The pads last a really long time. I generally toss mine after they start looking grungy. You can buy refills at a few places. You won't need many.

I do not remember How many pad was in the box but there are enough to last you for year or two ( home users).

You receive 5 lanterns. Each lantern is pretty much completely assembled... just have to delicately unfold and add the fuel cell to each.

Hi. There are seven pads. I wish they would sell packages with more pads, but as far as I can tell they have only one size package.

I got 6 since I use them 2 at at a time for a cat pad and change them everyday. I wash them 4 at a time which leaves 2 as spares. It is a costly initial investment but over time will save you a great deal over using disposables.

I'd say about two full rounds to play it safe. Thats about a min & 30 seconds each time. I've tried with one round many times before and it did dry but when I had applied the alcohol afterwards...I noticed a light color on my white cotton pad. I'm sure 2 min would do fine but i just go based off of the light timer on mine (which doesnt give you a 2 min option) I absolutely love mine. I use it twice a month and still working wonderful.

Just the three pieces. You have to wash and reuse the piece of cheap astroturf, but you could probably buy a remnant at a hardware store and cut to fit so you'd have more than one pad to use while the3 stinky one dried.
