Repel mosquitoes while adding a decorative touch to your deck with the new ThermaCELL Patio Lantern.The mission inspired lantern has a wrought iron look for classic appeal to enhance your patio or campsite. It can be set on a table or hung from the removable hanging wire.
The ThermaCELL Lantern runs for 12 hours on one small butane cartridge with no open flame. The heat from the butane warms a mat which is impregnated with insect repellent. The odorless, non toxic repellent rises into the air and drives away mosquitoes, black flies, nosee-ums and other flying insects. Each mat lasts four hours.
When the color changes from blue to white, it’s time for a new mat.
It’s quick and easy to activate the lantern – just squeeze the latch tabs in the base, pull the base and frame off the globe to screw in the butane cartridge. Slide a repellent mat under the grill at the top of the lantern. Slide the on/off switch (at the top of one side) to on, wait five to 10 seconds and then click the start button three to five times rapidly until you can see a light in the window above the buttons.
The safe, self contained heating element starts up and after two to three minutes a small zone around the appliance is protected. After 10 minutes a full 15 x 15 foot “bug-free zone” is established.
When you are ready to go indoors, just slide the switch to off and the lantern is ready to start up again whenever you need it.
Light is generated by four LEDs hidden in the base and powered by four AA batteries. The batteries will provide lantern light for up to 200 hours on the “LO” setting and up to 150 hours on the “HI” setting.
The ThermaCell patio lantern sells for around $25.
