Could you light these with a portable sterno can?

based on my experience I highly doubt you can light these with a portable sterno can. I had to leave the cubes on direct flames from BBQ for a few minutes before they were ready.

It may be possible, but I highly recommend against it. These really require and 6 or 7 minutes on an electric stove burner.Hope that helps! They really are great, defiantly worth the extra time.

I think you should be able to. I did mine on the stove and it worked great.

Never tried it? But u really have to put flame to let them up, maybe a blow torch

You need to put them on fire for awhile. But, i have also light them on with the stove on my electric kitchen. Also I believe that you can light them with a candle, but it will take more time. The only trick is to keep them on fire for so long till the coal is totally red and on fire. Then you will have nice hit for your hookah for almost 2 hours. I will definitely buy them again.

It is possible it just takes a while. I use a butane torch and it works it just is time consuming.

Hi Joe--Naw, it doesn't appear that you can. It is possible to light the burners with a match if the electronic igniters were to fail, but the range must still be receiving power. When I trip the circuit breaker at the fuse box and try to light the burners by hand, I can't. There must be some kind of annoying "safety" feature that shuts off the gas to the burners if the unit loses electrical power--Chris

Can be done. Did it in one location This is a 2 person job. Expensive light to drop. Good luck.

Yes you can. We used ours in a tool box in our pickup truck. When the lid is lifted it turns on our LED lights.

They have the wax that you can light. You just need a lighter or match or whatever :P

Also note that Tom Glander wrote he lit them with a torch. They were very hard to get to light with just a standard lighter. It was somewhat windy the day we tried to use them but I really felt they were unsafe to let go because the fuel cell was large and burned for a long time. We did not let ours go because we were that concerned about starting a fire somewhere as the flames were too close to the paper of the lantern. I have used some before that had a flatter fuel cell that was already attached and was much safer.

Yes, you can do that. But I will prefer to buy a led light for out door use. The bright is soft and more wide Rangel.

Yes you can do it. As long as your wattage does not exceed the rating of the transformer. The spotlights do draw a little more.

As far as I know you can. You may want to get a stand for the light so that way it's not sitting directly in the top of tank or whatever you are using.

You may be able w/o the bulbs. The problem is when you go over the spool just a little you are not able to get it into the bucket. That is the nifty feature of this item.

I wouldn't, maybe softs but they won't be strong. Also this is designed for rimless tanks or a very small rim. The light just wont penetrate a tank that tall. There are some adjustable led ppucks from aquamana reef fixtures for the same price as two of these that look promising. Dont have one though

I just use a sterno, it depends on what you are cooking on it, if it is something that won't drip juice into the bottom, you might be able to get away with an unscented tealight .

Yes, but they are not bright and the battery life is short. Cherry Bomb is a better light. More $ though.

These will definitely boil water, and can pretty much cook anything that can be cooked with Sterno, but the fire produced by these generates about 2/3 of the heat produced by Sterno. In an emergency situation I see little problem arising from this, as there is not any real need to be in a hurry . The flame is more easily controlled than with sterno.

A regular lighter wouldn't be very effective on these. They take about 3 minutes or so on the stove.

No a match or lighter will light them easily and no flare up so they are safe. I used them the other day to burn a pile of brush. I used one on each side and it burned beautifully. Great product. I was using a chimney to light lump charcoal for my Kamado grill but the fire starter works great.

Yes, you can. These lights come with their own transformer, just connect to a 110 volt source, they work great!!
