Luminara TSV - Page 3

I'm sure the battery life will be much shorter due to the two AA batteries it takes. I have three of the previous TSV in slate in 25", 19" & 12" and I have yet to replace the batteries. I'm going to wait to see the presentation to see which color is calling my name.

In the manual it says battery like is 175 hours with 2 AA batteries.

@finley Thank you for mentioning that. I missed the manual file altogether.

@Pecky My TSV lantern is still going, too.

@SHOPR, I do not need another lantern, however the grey is getting another look. I also would be tempted to order the slate. I wonder if the slate matches the hue of the other slate lanterns I have? Loving the price & the $3 off additional lanterns!

Definite warning about battery life on these.

I have some Luminara smaller votive type candles that I picked up at a gift shop (they are rustic/primitive) and two things I have had to watch.

First, the flame doesn't work/move well on many of them. I am buying those in person, so I can easily try them out and be sure I like the flicker first. I do have to wonder if that is because of the various 'dust' and additions they add to these to give them the primitive look.

Second, the battery life is very short, as mentioned by other posters already. So if putting in an out of the way place, be prepared to change batteries more often than in the bigger candles.

The primitive votives I've picked up elsewhere were $29 each, so the price of this TSV isn't bad at all.

Not sure if I'm going to buy or not, but Thanks for much @dryheat for finding us the item number!

Just went and looked at the video they have posted, and while I'd like the bronze, I gotta say, I'm not impressed with the candle. After having these great primitive Luminara votives, those in the TSV just look cheap and plastic to me.

Does it say anywhere if these can be used outdoors?

Also, any height given?

I'd like a red, white, and blue combo for the summer, but that would be quite a bit of money!

I got the Luminara Hampton lanterns in both sizes and this would compliment that as a smaller piece (I think it's smaller) for a grouping of 3, so still considering.

It's 11" high and for indoors only.

I was in HL the other day, and they sell Mirage votives in packs of 2 there as well as the Mirage remote. They are the same size as this Luminara votive, the battery life is better, AND you can set the Mirage timer to any amount of time. I know the flame technology is different, but considering it's inside a lantern, I think it would partially mask the less-genuine look of the flame. So, if you really love this lantern, (which isn't really a Luminara Lantern, because the votive isn't attached) you can use the Mirage candles as an alternate or replacement for the votive that is included. Or, of course, you could just go to any home store and buy a much cheaper lantern that you like and make your own.
