The on/ off switch is not easy to access.  I thought it said it was able to be on a timer, where it turns on and off at the same time every day but that is not the case.  It comes with a remote, like I need another remote to keep track of and for a candle no less,  If the on/off switch didn't need pliers to get to I would not need a remote.  This candle falls under the KISS rule, keep it simple stupid.
