At Melouris, we believe ambiance should be effortless. Our flameless candles are designed with a smart Timer Function to bring warmth to your home every day without lifting a finger.
In this guide, we'll explain how it works and how to maximize your battery life like a pro.
1. What is the Timer Function on Flameless Candles?
Most Melouris candles feature an integrated 24-hour cycle timer. The standard setting is usually "5H" (5 hours ON / 19 hours OFF).
The Workflow: If you switch to "Timer" at 6:00 PM, the candle will glow until 11:00 PM and then auto-extinguish.
The Loop: It will automatically turn back on at 6:00 PM the following day.
2. Does the Timer Drain the Battery?
Technically, yes, but very minimally. In "Timer" mode, a small amount of "standby current" is required to keep the internal clock running. However, the convenience far outweighs the tiny power draw for most users.
3. Pro Tips for Maximum Battery Life
As experts in LED candle technology, we recommend these steps to keep your Melouris candles glowing longer:
Use High-Quality Alkaline Batteries: They provide a steady voltage flow, which is crucial for both the LED brightness and the timer's accuracy.
The "Full Shutdown" Rule: If you don't plan to use the candles for more than a week, switch them to the "OFF" position. This stops the standby sensor and preserves the cell.
Avoid Rechargeable NiMH Batteries: While eco-friendly, they often have a lower starting voltage (1.2V vs 1.5V), which might make the timer less reliable as the charge drops.
4. Troubleshooting Timer Issues
If your candle starts turning on at the wrong time, it’s a classic sign of Low Voltage. When the battery is nearly depleted, the internal timing chip loses its "rhythm." Replacing the batteries will reset the cycle to perfection.
