![]() ![]() The batteries all have a small charge in them. The +/- orientation is clearly marked on the battery and the holder. The lamp module is released from the shade with a twist of the base. The battery packs were shipped separate from the lamps, but ssembly was very simple. A separate battery pack will allow the unit to be easily serviced when it needs to be replaced. The use of an LED now makes the DemiGlow more reliable. The obvious advantage with the Candela lamp is the safety aspects of a contactless charger and the flameless light. These smaller DemiGlow lamps are sized to be used in place of the normal votive candles. The DemiGlow is based on the same recharging mechanism as the original Candela, but updated with an energy efficient LED instead of an incandescent bulb. Today we will be taking a FirstLook at the DemiGlow. OXO has extended the line with the introduction of a few new lamps based on the Candela technology. Wan Chi Lau ( )Ī week or so ago we mentioned that Candela has been sold by Vessel to OXO. ![]() Folks here will have more comments once they have taken it out for a stroll. This Luau will be a nice lighting companion whether for sitting out on the patio or on walks along the beach at dusk. It is great looking, surprisingly light, comfortable to hold, and is rated to last for about 6 to 10 hours on a charge. We really like the execution of this Luau rechargeable LED lantern. Like all Candela lamps, if charged, the unit automatically turns on when removed from the charging base. The charging base glows green when the lamp is removed and orange when charging. The bottom of the charger has a channel to allow the wire to fit into the base so everything lays flat on the floor or table. This design ensures the proper placement of the lamp on the charger and eliminates the need to orient the contacts. ![]() The shape of the Luau's charger is circular. The brightness of the lamp may be controlled by rotating the entire base. A dimmer is cleverly integrated into the bottom of the lamp. The Luau rechargeable LED lantern package has three pieces: a lamp, a circular charger, and an AC wall adapter. We were going to post the Luau's FirstLook on Monday, but thought we would post it this weekend since there were so many questions. Judging from the emails, many of you are just as interested in the OXO Luau as with the DemiGlow. ![]()
