I gave it 1 star for at least working. However this candler suddenly died after 3 weeks. For the price it's not worth it. When mine just quit working I took to the internet to figure out why, or if there was a way to fix it. Turns out- others have had the same experience. This candler isn't reliable. It has a short life span. So I didn't replace it with another, Instead I ended up getting a high powered tactical flashlight with more lumens. I see better with my flashlight than this candler ever did for me. I would not recommend this candler.
