LED base for under art/vases etc - davemchine - 09-13-2022

My wife's LED candles all turn on at the same time each day and stay on for six hours. This allows the batteries to last about two weeks. I've purchased some LED bases for displaying glass art and none of them have this feature and I can't find one that does. Maybe my Google foo is weak though. Has anyone seen a product with this kind of feature?

I'd love to help you man, but what the eff are you talking about?

I know what you are looking for. However I have never seen one. I have done many searches in the past for these LED bases (have a crystal collection) and no where have I seen a timer built into the base. You might have to get an external timer and use wall warts to power the base where the wall warts are plugged into the timer. Let me know if you find what you are looking for, cause I’d like some too!

Anyway of removing the mechanism from the candle and putting it in something that would fit your needs?

If you can go to a plug rather than a battery, then the easiest is just to run it on a timer.

This is the only light base I have found with a timer - tre expensivo.

Holy Moly, that wins today's MacGyver DIY award.

Pretty slick for off the shelf pieces.

Wow, that’s a really expensive base light. I think the ones I have were around $20 or less.
