For our battery-operated lights and candles, I attempt to keep on with ones which have a timer, so that you simply need to set them as soon as and neglect about them. Most keep on for 5-6 hours and work on a 24 hour timer. I’ve mine set so they arrive on round 4:30 every evening simply because it will get darkish.
