Luminara candles are battery-operated candles that look and flicker like real wax candles but are flameless and smokeless. One of the handy features of Luminara candles is the ability to set a timer so the candles will automatically turn on and off at set times. Here is how to set the timer on Luminara candles:
Identify Your Luminara
To navigate the timer wonderland, it’s crucial to understand your Luminara’s features. Different models feature varying controls, so let’s categorize them broadly:
- Candles with Switches: These classic beauties typically boast a switch at the bottom, marked with “ON,” “OFF,” and sometimes, “TIMER.”
- Candles with Buttons: Tapers and outdoor models often sport a single button on their base.
- Candles with Remotes: These high-tech wonders come with a dedicated remote control for ultimate candle-wrangling power.
Activating the Timer
Now, armed with your luminara’s identity, let’s delve into the timer-setting specifics:
Luminara Candles with Switches
Slide the switch to the “TIMER” position. It’s that simple! The candle will automatically turn on at the same time tomorrow and remain lit for 5 hours, repeating this cycle until you deactivate the timer by switching back to “OFF.”
Luminara Candles with Buttons
Double-tap the button. The flame will blink twice, confirming the timer is activated. Just like switch-equipped candles, it will illuminate for 5 hours daily, switching off for the remaining 19. To reset, press the button once (single tap sets “on”).
Luminara Candles with Remotes
Locate the “Timer” button on your remote. Pressing it will prompt you to choose a start time from various options. Your candle will dutifully follow your instructions, automatically turning on for 5 hours at the chosen start time each day. You can reset the timer by pressing the “Timer” button again or changing the start time.
Deactivating the Timer
Tired of the automated routine? No problem! Here’s how to say goodnight to the timer:
All models: Simply switch back to “OFF” (sliders) or press the button once (tapers and outdoor). For remotes, press “Timer” again and choose “Off” or adjust the start time to the current time.
Bonus Tips
Multiple Candles: Use a single remote to control the timers of multiple Luminara candles, creating a synchronized symphony of flickering delight.
Double Duty for Daydreamers: For candles without remotes, set the timer in the evening for a 5-hour burst of glow while you read or unwind. The automatic shutoff ensures you drift off to sleep without candle-related worries.
Holiday Cheer on Autopilot: Schedule your Luminara candles to illuminate during festive gatherings, adding a touch of magic without manual intervention.
With these tips and tricks, you’re now a Luminara timer guru, ready to command the dance of light and shadow in your home. So go forth, set those timers, and bask in the warm glow of convenience and ambiance!
Consult your specific Luminara candle’s manual for any model-specific variations in timer functionality.
Happy flickering!
