Can this be used without electricity if the power goes out? If so - is it hard to light? How much heat does this generate

Yes, it is used without electricity...the heater is total gas. No, it is not diffulcult to light. It does have a pilot light that you can leave on. The thermostate enables the heater to automatically come on as the temperature changes. The heater generates 25000-30000btus.

Yes it can be used without electricity it still lights using the battery powered pilot light just like one on a gas grill

Yes, the fireplace will still work. If you buy the optional blower though the blower itself will not work without electricity. The fireplace has an igniter to light the fireplace that work from a single aaa battery and it is easy to light. Our living room is 25'x25' and it takes about 30min for it to go from mid 60's to mid 70's if you leave it run. I usually leave it on 2 almost 3 on the dial and it keeps the room about 72.

Yes, this can be use without electricity. This is one of the reasons we got it. It is not difficult to light, a long lighter will do just fine. As far as the heat it produces, we use it as a main source for our downstairs area. The central unit will come on around 40 degrees as a back up but mostly we use just the fireplace. It will heat a very large living room just fine. I am really happy with the unit. It seems to be built with quality material and this is our second year with it. I will say it looks great in our living room and we love the look of it. If you want something with more heat, the infrared heaters put out more heat and work when there is no electricity. Hope this helps. Yes, this can be use without electricity. This is one of the reasons we got it. It is not difficult to light, a long lighter will do just fine.

This thing can put out a ton of heat, but In my house most of it goes to the ceiling or upstairs. I think a ceiling fan install will hopefully help with distribution.I had it professionally installed this past February but I don't think it's hooked to electricity at all. The igniter works on a AAA battery. It was a little tricky getting it lit right at the beginning, but has been perfect since. I just started using it again after the summer and it lit right away. Enjoy!

Forget @ using any of these units for heat. Look up an amp meter chart etc., compare what you heater will draw and divide the 1000 W and you will see the heater won't run for half an hour...a hair dryer will kill it quickly. This is strictly for lights, etc. Save it for medical equipment etc. in extended outages... maybe an occasional microwave use , etc. Even a computer charge will run it down. Be Careful how you use it. Also you can save a lot of power by using only lamps with the new twisted looking lamp bulbs .. Thet use @ 1/3 the power. Save the power for a quick sump pump need nothing continuous except lights. For heat, look into a small wall natural gas heater ( if you have gas heat ) @ $300. will heat 1000 sq feet quite well. Get a warm coat and blankets if the power may be out for days or you will be w/o lights too. Otherwise geta generator..note most condos won't allow them

If I needed a light to always be on I would get one with an LED bulb. I have never noticed this light getting hot. I use a 20 watt bulb in mine, so its on the low side of energy usage, compared to incandescent bulbs.

yes, This is a very good product. You will get powerful LIGHT with LOW Electric use and less heat! because of the low power bulbs. It lights the room like a studio.

No you put this on a camp stove, you don't need any electrical power to use this. I love mine.

Unit is powered by an electric cord. Batteries are not an option. Since I use this product mainly in the bathroom where an outlet is convenient, it suits my purposes. I love this LED lamp--it's bright and magnification is excellent. Also, I never have to worry about rundown batteries affecting the quality of light.

It uses 1-Watt of electricity. Note that it is to be used with a 25-Watt 15-Volt power unit (transformer). We've been using ours for over 7 years and they still look fantastic! So much so that I ordered 5 more units to extend our lighting over to an adjacent work shop deck. Contrary to what the other answer said, I feel that they throw off enough warm amber light that you can walk around the deck with no problems. The flickering looks really neat - and there is even a wire "wick" in the middle of the candle that actually glows - just like a real candle! Enjoy!

12 volt power is only needed for illumination. It will still read temperature without a power supply.

You want a shade that allows air flow to the bulb. This light doesn't get as hot as an incandescent bulb, but it does generate heat and that heat can damage the electronics if it's in a completely closed fixture.

No..it doesn't use ANY electricity. Works exclusively off of the heat from a stove burner.

I have used the light for an hour at a time with no noticeable loss of intensity. Not needing to run a cord is very handy.

No electricity is required. Either a gas line (as I have) or propane will work. It is a GREAT grill!

I use this to illuminate a double garage, and so there will be an adundance of light. There is also a fair amount of heat close to the lamp and so you would have to isolate it from nearby clothing, and in a confined space such as a closet it might warm the room too much. I would look for something in the 100 - 150 watt range. Hope this helps.

This heater doesn't require electricity to use but there is a blower inside of the grill that can blow hot air out. That blower requires electricity but is an optional feature and has an on/off/auto switch. I use it because it is very effective in moving air around the home. It has a white noise effect.

No, this requires a power source, you need to plug it into household power,I see no option for battery use. Also the light have a very distinct yellow cast, not the cool white I expected from LED.

What is a "lot" of heat? This lamp is a room lamp; not designed to illuminate a picture. You need a lot less watts to do that unless you use a dimmer switch.

That depends entirely on things like how big are the lightbulbs and how frequently and how long you intend listen/watch radio/tv. It is intended for emergency use, or for temporary camping. It would not be a "permanent" solution for not having electrical power, even in the jungles of Peru, I'm afraid.
