These upgraded LED lights feature a high-density 96-LED array designed to create a more realistic flicker effect than lower-count models. The shell is made of high-impact ABS polymer with a frosted polypropylene diffuser. A notable feature is the 4-mode operation, allowing for different lighting patterns to suit the mood of a bathroom, patio, or wedding setting. The internal 1000mAh Li-ion battery typically provides 15-20 hours of use on the standard flicker mode.
The IP44 rating provides resistance to light splashes, though the base charging port seal should be checked periodically to prevent moisture ingress. These units utilize a Micro-USB interface, which results in a 4-6 hour recharge cycle. In environments with many remote-controlled devices, the IR sensor may occasionally respond to other signals; managing the placement of the units can help minimize this interference. In temperatures below freezing, the battery capacity may decrease by approximately 40%.
For a permanent outdoor setup that doesn't require recharging, you might look into stainless steel torches that use liquid fuel.
Rechargeable lighting is a modern way to organize home ambiance, and more options are available in the flameless citronella candle lanterns section.
