Caframo JOI Lamp, 8310CASBX, Candle-Powered LED Lighting, Stainless Steel, silver

Pros: If you’ve got a gas stove, dinner prep will be possible with the power out. It lights up enough of the counter for prep and reading. It also keeps getting brighter for the first hour. I measured. I’m an engineer and this design is quite remarkable. I’ve designed TEG devices powered by candles before and this one is the best I’ve seen. 768mW after an hour (I unscrewed one telescopic leg and measured current… 2.919V at .263A at its peak.) Nice work!Cons: First time running, it outgases a chemical smell that gives me a headache. Hopefully that will fade. Also, the light it gives off is akin to office fluorescent bulbs. They could have chosen softer yellower LEDs that are more homey. The blue-white color is good for reading, though. After using it for some hours and blowing it out: Make sure the candle has solidified completely before removing it. There are no instructions for cleaning up spilled wax inside and believe me, it’s not easy. If you spill wax inside let it solidify before you try to clean it. I used a plastic knife to break chunks free.

This is a fabulous product. It is expensive, it is also worth it. It hits a perfect match of style and science, its both old and new fashioned. The kewl white of the leds is cancelled out by the incandent candle. Loved the first, so ordered a second.

Sehr zufrieden eine günstige Lampe ohne Batterie zu betreiben zu können sehr helle Lampe

Wow. Just wow. You really can't believe how much light you get from a single tea light, especially relative to just the light of the candle alone. It's best use is aimed downward, as local lighting on a table (like any 8-LED light would provide), but what impresses me most is how well this light cuts the darkness, when the cap is turned vertical. It lights up a large room well-enough that you could navigate a cluttered floor with ease. I can hold a sheet of legal paper with standard type 3 metres away, and can still read it readily.The light comes with three tea-lights that are 1.5 cm tall. I only possess the shallower 1.0cm tea lights, right now, so I just prop mine up on a few washers/coins to raise the top even with the lower heatsink, and they work just fine.The price is tough to rationalize, I know, but there are a few times when spending the extra coin is worth it. I think this item is worthy of the cost, make an excellent alternative to a battery powered emergency light. I've just bought a second one, and they are going into the off-grid cabin.

Bought two of these Joi’s. One for South Afrika so will have reading light during loadshedding. Bought 100 M&S 4 hour tea lights for £5. They give same light as expensive Joi tea lights..
