I find things that use 3 AAA batteries just don't last. thanks to tips from other forum members, I have made some adjustments.

ordered (and LOVE) Valerie's metal luminarias in both the white snowflake and the red trees. the batteries barely lasted one month and I want these out Nov-Feb. I removed the candles with their battery compartment and am using my own flameless candles that take 2 AA. those last much longer. these were on clearance so even removing the candles the luminarias themselves worth every penny.

I also don't like fairy lights. not bright enough and do not last. those too took AAA batteries. I love Valerie's mason jars and have 2 sets. I toss the lids that hold the AAA batts and the fairy lights and use my Luminara 4 x 1.5 inch candles. they take AA and they too last far longer and are brighter than the fairy lights. I did the same with some other Valerie candle hurricans that came with the fairy light packs.

appreciate the tips from forum members! I learn a lot of good ideas, so thank you :-))

For me these kind of Energizer Ultimate Lithium batteries last the longest.
