Love the fragrance of a burning candle? Do you take pleasure in the ambiance of flickering light? Now you may have that same comforting candle experience with a battery operated candle. Don’t get me wrong, I love traditionalisti candles! What I don’t love are the flame soot on my walls, the way a heap of candles melt unevenly, and even the peril of a lit candle in my house (which is overrun with four children, two cats and a dog). One of technology’s recent inventions is the battery operated candle. These candles may be made with real wax, but the light is generated from LED bulbs powered by batteries. These particular LED bulbs flicker like a real flame, so you get the sentiment of real shimmering candles. They come “pre-lit,” that is, the candle center shows an area that has been “melted,” just like the flame burned down into the wax. The wick is dark, as thought it had been lit by a flame! You may get any style of battery operated candle, from the pillars we know and love, to the tall, graceful tapers (like you might put on your dining room table for romance), to tea lights and votives. You may even find solar operated hanging lanterns for agreeably diverting on the deck in the evening. Another innovation is the submersible candle, including a “water lily” candle that floats on water. The water lily lights when it comes in contact with water, a lovely idea for a wedding or other formal occasion. Restaurant owners love these kind of candles since they don’t need to worry when it comes to little children playing with a candle flame on the table, or other possible fire dangers. What with regards to the fragrance, you may ask? Not a problem! Battery operated candles are available with – or without – the scents we love. How long do the batteries last? Good question. Your candles may use Lithium batteries or rechargeable batteries. Generally tea lights will burn for 48 to 50 hours on one pair of batteries. Taper candles last longer, in regards to 250 hours. One internetlocation that states their tapers will last one holiday season, if employed to light a window each evening. Pillars seem to intermediate regarding 180 hours on one battery charge. You may see why battery operated candles are a good idea, for both environmental and safety reasons. |
