I'd like to put this candle inside a pierced tin lantern so light shines through the holes. Is the candle bright enough for this?

Yes! I would use the remote to help turn on & off as well if you want it lot more than 5 hours for the timer.

It is not a bright light but very similar to a real candle. Don't know if that helps or not.

The luminara candle is as bright as a normal candle, perhaps more so. I LOVE mine!!

It's a pretty powerful little tool. I'm sure it would work to light candles, but honestly, I think you should keep looking for something else.

Yes, you can use string lighting or led lights and place them inside the lanterns to light them.

No it's. Not very bright. A high Watt bulb (I'm my opinion) would be scary with the shade. There's only one bulb socket on this one too!

I don't recommend for a tea light candle. It will melt all of the beeswax within seconds.

It is a very nice tightly woven fabric but I would imagine that there would be a glow from the candle light in the jar through the fabric. You could wrap the jar first with a dark paper or something like that to further block the light. Good luck with your project.

They are not as bright as a luminara flameless candle. However inside designed lanterns or ceramic containersthey are not to bad if you set it to flicker. However I had a hard time getting them to stay on the yellow color which is more like a candle. I hope this helps you.

It does let some light through. It's papery, kind of like on those Chinese-style lanterns. You can't see through it at all though.

If you are placing this around a light fixture in the ceiling, be sure to check and see that the light bulb is not touching the wall of the lantern. The opening in the top is about 5 to 6 inches in diameter, but there is a brace that runs across it to keep the shape of the lantern itself. What I did to mount it on my ceiling light was angle the lantern around the bulb. It might take some doing, but it's possible.

Not really Mary. The wax that you light is a separate piece. It looks like a little bar of soap. You have to pinch the metal tip of the sky lantern through the wax bar and then bend the metal tip a little, which will hold the wax bar in place on the bottom of the lantern, and then light the wax bar, hold on to it for a little bit to get the heat built up and then let them go. It's really easy and these are decent ones for the price! If you have any other questions, feel free to ask. Chad

The light doesn't flicker like a candle, it just has an amber blow. I think it's a beautiful light for the patio...

This lantern has a solar powered candle. It does not flicker.Thank you for your interest. Judi/Bendixen's Giftware

I would have to say no. It's more of a spotlight. It's good for lighting up a table top for when you're doing crafts or sewing, but it wouldn't light the whole room.

I would choose another light. The soldering on this light looks like a child did it. But as far as the size, it might work.

It's a beautiful shade. It is not really bright, but gives the room a soft glow. My lamp is a dark brown metal captains lantern and it looks perfect with it. I actually ordered this by mistake and had already notified Amazon that I wanted to return it. When it came I really liked it and decided to keep it.

I like the lantern. Wish it was a little brighter. Both top and bottom light up more soft bluish light. I cranked it when I first got it to charge it and it was dark outside. But its been charged by the sun everyday and comes on every night. Never had any trouble with it it. I would recommend this more for decoration than to light your path.

Maybe not. This is a purely decorative light. Looks great, but does not give off a tremendous amount of light and uses a special bulb.
