How does it light in the cold? My Ronsonol doesn't light when its 30 degrees or less. And that's when i use it most....

In order to answer your question, I put one of my Zippos in the freezer for an hour (-10 to 0 degrees, f). I removed it and attempted to light it, it took 5 tries before it lit. It normally takes one try.

I'm in North Dakota and it don't get any colder. Never had a problem with the fluid, lights first try every time.

A Zippo will light just fine in cold weather. Be sure to use Zippo lighter fluid.

Works fine for me and its been in 30's here. Has worked first time everytime.

I live in northern Ohio, it goes below freezing regular in the winter. That is supposed to damage the compressor because the oil is cold and stiff and starts hard. I went on ebay and got a Temp controlled outlet for 15 bucks and a little (the smallest they had) stick-on oil pan heater. I sanded the paint off a little spot on the compressor and put it on. It comes on at 35 degrees F and goes off at 45. If you are going to have a freezer out in the cold I think you have to do this to keep from ruining the compressor. So far it's working OK, this freezer goes down to almost 0 F, so it's running at 15 degrees.

I use a zippo to light it after I filled the warmer with fluid. I can't see the burner glow, but what I usually do is hold the warmer close to my face. If it feels and stays warm, I know its lit. I'll leave it out for a minute or two without the top cover to make sure the thing is lit and still hot. Once that's done, you can put the cover on and then the bag.

Sorry - mine came off easily. Maybe put it in your freezer for an hour then try it, and if that doesn't work put it in the sun until it's hot then try it. I started using mine without the diffuser and on medium power it's got a beam of the intensity of the diffuser, but just narrower.

I have the light on the top, and I don't know if the lamp can be under ice or liquids.But what trigger the light is a "movement sensor". So, if I open the door and the sensor can't "see" the movement, the light is OFF (don't turn on). I suppose the sensor don't work with a lot of ice over it.(I hope you inderstand my English, because I'm from Chile).

HiWe do not have these lights under cabinet, we have them flush mounted over the sink so they're sort of enclosed. They do get warm. I can't easily access the fixture except where the 'bulbs' are. That surface is about 100 degrees according to an infrared thermometer. Wood ignites at around 450 degrees these puck are nowhere near that. I did feel the cabinet floor above the puck that has been on for a couple hours. It's barely warm. We had Xenon puck lights in the same location previously. Those got WARM, the LED puck lights are much cooler. For under cabinet use we went with the LED tapes, those are barely warmer than ambient.

I have had mine for over a year and it has worked perfectly. I live in Texas so very few really cold days but I have no complaint. I agree with the twisting in the plug thing, I have to make sure I connect well but there is a light indicator.

It does get warm and I've never left it on for more than 30 minutes. Also, I understand they don't last forever. There are better choices for a night light.

Yes, it will flash slower as it begins to reach the target temperature and then finally stop flashing when it actually gets to temp. I'm using mine under a small water pond in a mini orchid greenhouse. I have it fairly well insulated, but it rarely stops flashing completely in the cold spell we've been having. In warm weather, it rarely turns on so it shows a solid light most of the time. Good luck with your application. The Fair Haired Finn

in the right environment; doesn't do well in extreme temps so inside only and like light in small doses. I hope this helps!

Evening..I am spoiled as I have an older model that stays warm continuosly and feels warm to the touch....but this one goes by the outside temperature....it will shut off..the sensor is located where it plugs into the mat when the temperatures are not freezing cold....example..it is below thirty now here and it is on now but on the warmer days when it hit above the 38 it is not on...also not noticeable hot when you hold your hand on it in the abient weather...but it is on...it is easy for me to test mine as I have boxes over mine for outdoor animals to keep them warm..and could put my hand inside and feel the warmth..hope this helps...

It does not for me. The low setting is so bright I only use the bright when necessary. I also have the I also have the Streamlight ProTac HL 1213 which has 600 lumens on the highest setting which is my favorite. But like I said get the Tenergy battery kit to save lots of money on batteries this is a great little kit. I was just up in the Mountains on spotted 50 deer bedding down with this light It was crazy and then I just made a bed up against a tree and just slept up in the High mountains at the top of snowbird. I love the more powerful one that I just mentioned a little bigger and more money but worth it. That one gets a little hot but nothing you can't handle. It does not for me.

There's a little toggle switch on the back of the unit, but the light only lights when you're actually blowing snow, when you have the hand switch depressed. It's pretty dim, but it does light up.

I found that when using the plug in thermostat that it does not come on, or turn off at the temperatures stated in the instructions. I comes on at a lower temperature than 38 degrees. When it is on, the light in the thermostat lights up. I think the instructions that come with the unit could be a little clearer. There is no way to adjust the temperature range. I use the thermostat in my RV trailer during the winter to turn on a heat lamp to keep a critical area above freezing. Hope this helps

Good Morning...I am now following up with real answers. It was cold this morning for the first time this fall in our home and I set up the Lasko #5775 Heater. There will be absolutely no danger getting burned. After having it on for 30 min in my bath (by the way is bigger than I thought, a 10 X 10 room), the room was nicely warm and the heater to touch was barely warm. It really has been a great little heater and I still give it 5 stars!!! Have a wonderful day!!!

As. I wrote before we loved this product. We also have an rv, my husband was wondering about the cold temps in the winter. If that could affect it or not.

I had same problem. Keep pushing the Temp. button until all the lights on top row are lit. The only light on bottom row that is lit will be the 20 degree one. Works great. Hope this helps
