Can I use a regular tea-light in the OFF!® PowerPad® Lamp or the OFF!® PowerPad® Lantern?
No. The candle is specially designed to fit securely in the candle cup directly beneath the pad for optimal performance between the candle and pad. The size and the burn time of the candle are calculated to equal the release time of the repellent on the pad. When the candle is used up, it indicates that the pad needs to be replaced. The pad and candle should be replaced at the same time. Use of any other candle in the unit could result in a fire hazard.
