Battery Operated Candles

Battery Operated Candles Love the fragrance of a burning candle? Do you enjoy the ambiance of flickering light?

Now you can have that same comforting candle feel with a battery operated candle. Don't get me wrong, I love former candles! What I don't love are the flame soot on my walls, the way some candles melt unevenly, and even the danger of a lit candle in my house (which is overrun with four children, two cats and a dog). One of technology's recent innovations is the battery operated candle. These candles can be made with real wax, but the light is generated from Led bulbs powered by batteries. These special Led bulbs flicker like a real flame, so you get the feeling of real shimmering candles. They come "pre-lit," that is, the candle town 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 can get any style of battery operated candle, from the pillars we know and love, to the tall, elegant tapers (like you might put on your dining room table for romance), to tea lights and votives. You can even find solar operated hanging lanterns for tantalizing on the deck in the evening. an additional one innovation is the submersible candle, along with a "water lily" candle that floats on water. The water lily lights when it comes in feel 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 about small children playing with a candle flame on the table, or other possible fire dangers. What about the fragrance, you may ask? Not a problem! Battery operated candles are ready 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, about 250 hours. One website that states their tapers will last one holiday season, if used to light a window each evening. Pillars seem to midpoint about 180 hours on one battery charge. You can see why battery operated candles are a good idea, for both environmental and protection reasons. Battery Operated Candles
