I am wanting to hang these in lanterns in my trees. I am planning to leve them on the "on" position. If they are in the on position, can i just use the remote to turn them on and off day after day? One of the reviews made me send think that I would be...

The on/off button on the bottom of the candle is always on. I turn it on with the remote, which has 4 hrs or 8 hrs timer. They will turn off automatically after that. Or, if you want, you can turn them on and off whenever. That's why I like these, so versatile.

there is adjustment to how long this can stay on. It can shut off after a few minutes or stay on for hours. I keep tinkering with the adjustment, because they have stayed on all night. They can go off completely, and come on with movement. They can go down to a dimmer light so there is enough light to see on my porch, but not bother neighbors - and again go to bright with movement. Or just on for hours. But you do have to have the proper bulbs for this to do the dimmer and changes. If you use the wrong bulbs I believe they don't do the motion thing, but just stay on continuously.

No problem, I have mine connected to a tree along with the stove and lantern.......great for long term camping, no so good for one night stays, small tanks is much more convenient for use on the way....

You can not have them on full power all the time, just in response to motion. However, they have 2 settings, glow on or glow off. In the glow on setting, they are on low power (dim) after dark and come on full power with motion. The selector switch is inside of the housing.

So you are correct, once you get the candles and put batteries in them; then turn them to the on position and use the remote to turn them 'on' or 'off' again when you choose. When you change out the batteries make sure the switch is in the 'on' position again and turn them 'off' with the remote until use again. I find rechargeable batteries work best.

I am sorry to hear this. My turtle lights seem to be working okay. From what I understand they will stay on for as long as the battery has power left from charging in the sun during the day. I live in Florida so we have lots of sun and warm weather.

I have two bulbs maybe four feet apart. If I hit the remote from far enough away (so they are both line of sight to the remote), they both go on/off at the same time. Unless you are standing/aiming the remote so that a bulb or bulbs are not in line of sight, you SHOULD be able to power them all on or off with one button press.

I just received these lanterns and only removed the bottom to put the batteries in. I have not had the need or a reason to take the top of the lantern off. Sorry I could not answer your question.

The lights will turn on and off automatically by themselves. The only way you could turn them off manualy would be to cut the power to them. So you would need them on a switch of some kind. If they were on a switch, to turn them on manually you would need, first of all darkness and to have them turned off -- no power to them. At that point -- darkness and no power -- if you turned the power to them on, the lights should light up. If you did not interrupt the power supply before daylight, they should turn off automatically. I hope I answered your question. There is no off/on switch on the lights themselves -- it is automatic operation.

you can use a remote plug adapter and stick the on/off switch any where you want, if back problems is a concern. I got mine real cheap after X-Mas, but they can be brought at any box store or amazon. Just plug your lamp into the adapter, plug the adapter into the wall mount your remote switch next the lamp or where ever. Hope this helps

We have used lanterns a number of times. As long as it isn't windy I see no problem using them over a wooded area. They will not come down until the flame goes out and they actually go quite high in the sky. They really are fun and neat to watch.

I don't quite understand the question.. .you have the option of either putting the lanterns on the hook where they dangle or the stake; each light has the option. The hooks are metal and have a couple of pieces that screw together so that the height is up to you. I did not use the stakes, but I think they were plastic. Most lights of this type give you this option.

It can't be used at night. It requires natural light and its settings are based on daylight. It comes with a mounting stick and mini bungee cords. I push the stick into the ground next to a tree and wrap the bungee around the tree and stick. Never had any issues.

There is an on off switch. They are either on or off, It is not a day/night setting scenario.

Yes, they can be set to turn on automatically when it gets dark, or manual off and on. What makes them really cool is the rubber flowery rubber gromet that fits over the individual 'light bulbs'. It helps illuminate the light nicely. I bought two of them & used them for big camp site I set up. The wiring is delicate, so you have to be gentle.

The ones I received do NOT remember how they were set when the power is turned off and on. They always start out cycling all the colors. If you use the ON and OFF on the remote but leave the power on, they DO remember the last setting.
