Yea, I've got a few. To be honest, their earlier versions that didn't collapse are better. Once the tealight has gotten going wax tends to drip out of the holes that ring the bottom of the lantern.
If you use beeswax tea lights you get a nice bright light though that's well protected from wind to use outdoors.

:oops: :lol:

got the micro collapsible one to add to my winter car kit in the hope that a tea light would take the chill off and be a bit safer than standing a tea light on what ever i could find / use in the car such as a jam jar and the other well just because i could add to the order :lol:

How much more light do bees wax tea lights give out?

I just use the Ikea candles, cheap as chips:

and the citronella tealight candles in the summer months to keep the bugs away.:)
