Suggested Implantation Map: vineyard spaced 2 m x 1 m

Red: 250 to 300 candles per hectare for a frost between -3°C and -4°C
Blue: In addition, position another 150 to 200 candles per hectare, in anticipation of a frost from -4°C to -6°C to be ignited in a second phase if needed

* Average autonomy, which may vary according to the climatic conditions, wind, atmospheric pressure and the position of the candle (faster combustion if the candle is slightly inclined or on a slope)
