Tips on using your Tea Light Chandelier efficiently and safely
Thanks for buying one of our tea light chandeliers. They are the most popular Bell Tent
accessory we sell and with a bit of common sense it will give you many years of safe light
and heat.
Fitting your Tea Light Chandelier to your Bell Tent.
This is the same for any tent with a centre pole. Take the metal chandelier frame and put
the pole through it before you tension the tent. Leave it on the floor and only raise it and fit
the glass once you have finished erecting the tent.
We always recommend you use a piece of string to hang the chandelier as even though our
main poles come with a ring near the top for attaching an inner tent using that directly to
hang your chandelier will mean it's way to high up to benefit for the maximum heat and
light.
Instead hang the piece of string off the ring and then tie the chandelier to it at whatever
height suits. We find that having the bottom tier of the frame about 2 feet from the floor is
the optimum for using the light and benefiting from the heat generated by the candles.
Another tip for those with animals or small people is to raise the chandelier up out of reach
during the day and only lower it when in use.
Safely using your
Tea Light Chandelier
Always have a means of putting out a fire before you use candles in a tent!
Always keep children and animals under control with a flame present and never leave them
unattended with the candles lit.
Never hang it over a bed as hot wax hurts and bedding often never looks as good again.
Never try and use it in conjunction with an inner tent. One or the other. We sometimes drop
the chandelier frame and put the inner half over it if the bugs attack.
