do you leave individual candles turned on with the swtich or will batteries die quickly

If you leave the candle switch on "ON", the candles battery will in fact die quicker. I have resorted to removing the battery completely when I don't plan to use them for a while. It's a pain because I have 11 candles to remove batteries from, but I would rather go through that than going through my battery supply too quick.

I leave the individual candles on. I replaced the batteries once after 6 weeks because the lights were weak. They are lite about 3 or 4 hours a night plus I left them on one night.

I would buy a crap ton of batteries as they drain out if you leave the little on/off switch in the on position. Just remember to turn it off after each use and it should last as long as anything else.

That is a good question it does not say in the instructions but the candle is led lights my opinion I don't thinkit has 70 hours for each battery I think it is 12 batteries that last for 70 hours. But if you can find out from someone else who has these batteries please let me know.

I use a battery operated tea light, as there is no wax involved and you can easily remove the item. Also, very safe.

- Batteries for candles (not included). Each candle requires 3 AAA batteries, for a total of 9. Regular 1.5v or rechargeable 1.2v work (I use Eneloop rechargeables).- Battery Life. The first set of regular AAA batteries lasted a week, after about 25 hours of use. This is disappointing, given I have other very bright LED flashlights which last for 200 hours that use 3 AAA batteries. Also, many wax candles of this size will burn for 50-100 hours.- Battery for remote: 1 CR2025 (included). I assume this will last many months or even years.

They have to be turned on each time. They can be set for the 8 or 16 hours or you can turn them off and on with the remote. But, these particular candles aren't programmable for a repeated schedule.

They take AA batteries. I used a fairly inexpensive battery brand with them on timer mode...They ran every night from the first of December through mid January. May have lasted longer with better batteries. I have owned several sets of these candles for a while, use them regularly and so far I have never had the bulb (LED) burn out on any of them. I hope this helps..I really have enjoyed them-especially the timer mode.

I'm not one to log battery hours but I can tell you we put batteries in the beginning of summer, mid June, and put the candles on their auto-on mode. We have just started to replace batteries in the candles, early September.

when you hold the remote close to the candle you can light only one, when I am using the remote to light the grouping of candles i routinely point at each candle to light it, once it is lit, hitting the remote to light the next one doesn't affect the one that's already lit. same goes with hitting the off button, remember though that using the off on the remote keeps the candle ready to turn it on again with the remote. If you are not using rechargeable batteries you may want to turn them off completely by hand if it's convenient to do so, otherwise you are using a little battery power still, not that much to worry about, up to you. The remote is sooooooo fun though. Highly recommend this product. Go to "theIDEApath" etsy shop to see my cards that slide over led candles. That's why I have fallen in love with these candles.

The candles have 2 settings. You can manually turn it on and off, or you can used the timed setting. When you choose the timed setting, the candle turns off in 5 hours. If you do nothing else, the candle will turn on and off at that same time each day. If you want to change the time the candle turns on, just manually turn the candle off, and when the time comes that you want the candle to turn onn, choose the timed setting. Again, the candle will turn off in 5 hours. I usually just manually turn the candle off and on.I love these candles, and bought a bunch of them for Christmas presents last year.

These electric candles take (2) AA batteries per candle. The candles light is good for about 500 hours'.

I remove the batteries when I'm not using the timer. My device does not automatically shut off, I left the batteries in one time and it was still powered up a week later.

I also don't turn the unit off, I just keep it on the Low position and turn it on High position 1-2 hours before using. If I don't use it for a long time I turn it off, but it'll take a long time (a few hours) to melt wax again.

One more little helpful hint though...don't leave it ON or it WILL go dead a lot quicker! Found that I had done that last night when I had a dead battery and was like, no big deal...I have my handy jumper...which I then found I had left on and was dead! My bad! :P

I have 2 of the candles and they each take two AA batteries.I hope that answered your question.If I leave them on all night I usually have to replace the batteries.So I turn them off during the day.
