I purchased colored lanterns in 2014. Same package. I want the lanterns where the fuel cell is permanently attached. Is this right. What about colors.

I purchased white lanterns and, yes, the fuel "block" was attached to the wire cross-brace at the lower opening of the lantern. I purchased 40 of them and have had no problems. However - I purchased them from the company that I noted in my original review. Other vendors apparently sell products using the same packaging.

Nooooooo! Please these lanterns are terrible!!! The one you want is the "Eco wish lantern" it has its wick permanently attached and is by far bigger and of better quality than this. Search for Eco wish lantern. I hope this helps.

Based on the box shown in this post, these are the lanterns with the already attached fuel cells and are the best I have found on the market. They are also the most expensive but you definitely get what you pay for. I was not aware that other lanterns were being packed in the same box as is explained in one of the reviews below. I will try to go back to see who I bought mine from as they were excellent and multi-colored.

We purchased this last year but if memory serves, there were two pads included with the lantern. The first time we used it, it was on for less than 4 hours and the pad had not turned blue (the signal that it needs to be replaced), so we left it in for the next time we turned the lantern on. We saw no discernable difference in the protection. Hope that helps!

You have to align a tab up inside. Look for something red on the lantern, line that up with the base. Do it careful and slow, or you will be spending quite some time getting it on. It is well worth it for the power and how long the batteries last. I pull out the batteries when not in use due to it having a electric switch so it is always on. Just have to use a flash light to put batteries in. I only use it for power outages.

Excellent question. I will wait to see answer before buying this lantern as I want to use rechargeable batteries with it.

I do recall that I wanted a purple one but received a yellow lantern. The website has changed. It advertises assorted colors but there is no way to select a color.

Just returned 3 50w ones that did not hold their color. I noticed one reviewer talked to the company and they said the new versions do not. I think that might be why ppl are having different answers.

We didn't have to attach them...they were part of the lantern. You just need to hold a lighter to the fuel pack and wait 45 seconds to one minute before it would ignite. If it's windy, it will take several attempts to light them. All of ours lit just fine and we plan on buying more this summer.

I changed the battery in mine also. One lantern briefly worked but when dark after 2 nights. The other did not light, even with a new battery. Sorry!!

When you unpack the lantern you will see the fuel source. On the frame ring there is a place to put the fuel source. It is very simple and directions are not required.

I purchased my first 2 panels 4 years ago and one more panel this year. All of the units are working fine. I just checked the panels per your request. I did not find the problem you stated. All cells are the same color. They are mounted on the side of my house and are exposed to the weather. I hope this was helpful.

The fuel cell comes with each balloon. You must open the balloon up. attach the square fuel cell to the center of the wires. Each fuel cell already has a hole in the center so it does not require additional tools to attach. I recommend at least two people per balloon. One to hold the ballloon from the top and the second to light up the fuel cell and help keep the balloon walls open. The balloon will take 3 to 5 minutes to heat up before it will take off so do not get impatient and throw the balloon up. Windy days are not recommended at all. Have fun.

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.

You have to attach it yourself. The flames were so high it burned the lanterns. We threw away all but 2 and I saved the fuel cells to light the fir in my fireplace

There should be a hole the diameter of a pencil in the center of the fuel block, if not, use the end of a pen to open up a hole. There will be two loops on the wire, squeeze them and push them up through the fuel block and fold them over the top. All lanterns will be slightly different, they all work, some better than others. Expect that some of the lanterns will be defective (paper torn etc.) but for the price you are paying, it's cheap entertainment. ( And please don't be stupid and set something on fire)

There was a leaflet that came with my tank which shows how to order replacement from the factory. I can't find it or the website now. I was planning to just get one of the bubble lights on Amazon instead.

I now see on my Android device a app called 'LED Magic Color Controller'....I personally do not have the bulb to test out if this is legit, but I'm only posting the name in case someone can test this out and reply back to see if I am right or wrong (let's hope I'm right...lol)
