Better than candles!

Amazing how simple technology can be today. Apart from the battery holder, switch and the actual LED no electrics can be seen. The chip sits accordingly in the LED. This makes later repairs or preventive measures against wetness easier.

The light came already on the next working day in half board destroyed by DHL LED Light1 (BAL) and initially had a loose connection. Probably been too depressed by the gross mistreatment DHL spring. So pulled both springs a little longer and everything was okay. Contrary to the description there was even powered by alkaline batteries (XCell), what saved me to consider whether I dispose of the carbon-zinc scrap equal and run to the nearest discount store to buy better batteries.

To my taste of red cups could be 1-2 cm longer. One sees the "Flame" only obliquely sideways. But is bright and beautiful and they also flickers. Actually, almost too strong. The brightness is a bit like when the lights with oil candle and a small flame.

The lines have to watch something: wobbled too often and they tear quickly. Strain relief or fixation can not be expected in the price range. The part is not even thought that tinkering constantly working around. I could not resist to seal the board with clear lacquer and silicone anyway. Stay switch and battery holder to be a weak point, if the part inside is moist.

The light remains on continuously. This is also required of me to finally burn candles not only at night!

Otherwise, I would have taken a solar light. The hold in my experience with cheapest garden lamps Mostly about 0.5-3 years, then the cheap, constantly deeply discharged and incorrectly charged battery is defective, or flooded electronics.

All in all: Never again candle! Constantly these things are burnt, must be purchased new and at night then missing the landmark.
