Approx how much would it cost to run four torches for say 4 hours? How do these look just as an "unlit" addition to a backyard? thanks!

If you buy the large jug (50 oz) of fluid, 4 tourches for 4 hours will not even use up 1/2 of the jug. see price here at amazon.

I can't answer part 1 of this question, but regarding their looks when unlit I will comment. I set mine on a table (thus I don't use the pole); it looks good in that application. If you use the pole, there are other models with a sleeker, torchlike shape that are aesthetically better I think.

There is room for more, though the slots are not all wired. I honestly can't recall if we added one, or two. I want to say two. We did that to extend the period of light because of seasonal shading. I know that the come on at dark (which here is currently about 8/8:30) and are still lit when I come downstairs at 6. Original batteries, almost a year.

I purchased two of these track light"s and can only speak of what happened with mine,, it took me several bulbs and some time but finally realized that the 3 bulb"s together can not be over 75 watts,, I ended up putting 25 watt halogen bulbs that I found at our local walmart in a 3 pack and the lights have worked fine since, the lighting is beautiful and easy to set up,, just don't do as I did and buy several variety and watt's of bulbs (I tried several and all that happens is they get hot and then simply go out some lasted a few hours, others a day or so) just remember 75 watts TOTAL per set.

the whole flashlight is $6 shipped, you just buy a new one... not sure what a "driver" is... you are aware LEDs last over 100,000 hours which is longer than you and I will be alive during sundown.

Can't positively answer the question with assurance but I would my guess would be for only one light. I purchased a set of two for my floundering boat to try them out. The were much better not only in lighting but I no longer had to run generator. I ran two of these on the same deep cycle battery for 4 nights putting roughly 20 hours on batter not charging while running nor charging at the house and the battery is still going strong. I bought 2 more sets two weeks later. I personally am quite impressed so far. Give them a shot I doubt you will be disappointed just my 2 cents

I looked on this site & see that a string of these lights is $4.34 plus s/h of .49 cents; total is $4.83. I bought some online a year or so ago, don't remember who the seller was. It seems to me that they were around $2 per string. I stored them somewhere in the basement and cannot find them now that Christmas is upon us!

We have two lanterns in our yard...as I recall they use just 40 watt (wide base) chandelier bulbs. Nothing fancy. We have them on a 'dusk to dawn' setting and don't need to replace them very often. Hope this is helpful.

In my opinion this lantern would be a great addition to your outdoor plans. If it were my function I would place one every 5 to 6 feet for even disbursement of light whether placing on the table or hanging from an overhead implement. Hope this helps.

We camp in Calais Maine & got these lights to go around our fire pit .where up all summer & into fall no problems ,they are great for what we wanted them for ,only lost 1 bulb when an acorn full on it & I think that was a freak thing ,bulbs stay lit when 1 goes out also a nice fetcher Hope this helps you out .

I would imagine you could put an extension cord in one of the day time slots to give you more plug ins. The lights don't draw that much electricity that it should be a problem. But just in case I would keep an eye on the temp. of the extension cord. Hope this helps.

Torchstar information is not so good. Product is indicated as having the LEDs driven by a constant current driver. The website spec indicates a current of 19mA to 59mA. 50% tolerance is not so good. Anyway, I doubt there is enough wasted energy to raise the temperature that much. Bottom line, of you do not completely seal off the area immediately surrounding the light and allow the heat to go somewhere you should be fine. Assuming you mean a soffit on the overhang of the roof there should be nothing to prevent hot air from rising to the peak.

3 AAA per light. If you are going to have these on for long periods of time I highly recommend also purchasing the Amazon Basic AAA rechargeable batteries and a charger. The price for rechargables and a charger will more than pay for itself over the long haul. The batteries will run the LEDs for around 100 hours, but not a full brightness, as the power drains down over time so will the light output. For occasional on off use, such as turning one on as a hand held light, or for use in a cabinet or safe for a few minutes at at time, the batteries will last months (I have had mine in my safe for eight months and they are still going strong) One nice aspect of these type of puck lights are the ease at which you can access the internals - in my case I like to have one with magnetic tape on the back to attach to the outside of the safe to see the key pad, or combination lock. I do not want to ruin my night vision so I access the internals of one, and color over the LEDs with a red marker pen. This makes the light output red of course which is much better if you want to remain in a somewhat dark condition, or are going back outside into the dark where you want your night vision in tact. Magnetic tape strips, adhesive on one side to stick to the back of the light are easy to find, most likely if you do not want to buy some just use an old refrigerator magnet and stick it on to the back, with the magnetic side clean and facing out it will stick to a metal safe. The inside of one safe I have has three shelves, each metal, I keep one on the underside of each shelf and turn on as needed, with one left to be white light for use when I do not need to keep night vision. Sorry for the long run on, trying to put to much extra information into this.

There is a "trick" to getting them to light. What you need is a bigger flame source. Just using a lighter isn't going to cut it, most times. I use a propane torch, with the flame on low setting, so it's constant. There's a wax-like coating on the squares, and you have to get them pretty hot to ignite. Or, if you want to use a butane torch, that would work, too. Butane torch is really nice to have, since the flame is constant and hotter than a cigarette lighter. So use a torch, either propane or butane, and you'll find that the square block catches fire. You have to hold the lantern upright as well, until enough heat builds up inside, before lift is created. Then once the heat is sufficient, the lantern will lift into the air ever so gradually. When they take off, they're truly amazing to watch. Mesmerizing, even. Hope this helps. Tom.

It's maybe SLIGHTLY more complex than Nexia (not something I set up, but seen similar). It has no fees, while $9/mo is not a lot, running home auto over the course of several years...$100+ per year? I had time to learn a little. In regard to scenes, I started easy; porch/entry lights on timer using time offset from "dusk" as trigger, pretty simple. I don't see why your climate control/cross-flow ventilation scheme :-) would be difficult.

You can run 'em 24/7 if you need to. They get warm, but not hot. I'm guessing a bigger issue is that they (intentionally) put in some UV LEDs to simulate sunlight, so you may want to have UV absorbing glasses when working around the light.

No Kyle but I have posted a simple $5 Home Depot solution right here on Amazon in my review. Also, one of the pics is of my instructions. If you follow my instructions, this takes about 10 minutes. I did this to THIRTEEN of these 48" fixtures and I am sooooo glad I did because if allows me to run them all on a timer where the night lights go on when the other lights go off!Feel free to contact me at jeff dot allen dot nj at gmail dot com with any questions.

As I said in my original post, not very long. I tried multiple batteries from a 20-pack, and nothing would keep any of the three in pack lit for more than 10's of minutes. We went back to inexpensive moon lights, and haven't regretted it.
