Where’s the fire?
...there is no fire. That’s the magic of these flameless lookalikes. The amber LED and subtle flickering effect make ‘em dead ringers for actual taper candles, and since they’re made with wax, they feel like the real deal, too. (They even fit standard candle holders!) Setting the scene for your next dinner or soirée? Pop a couple of batteries in and use the 5-hour timer to get that ambience just right. With a 150-hour run time—you read that right—you can go ahead and show these off again and again.
