Decorating 4 holidays/Flameless candles

Pupart · #1 (**permalink**) 11-26-2006, 01:03 PM

I am thinking of buying some flameless candles.
Anyone use them,and how did you like them?
There are several sites selling them from the Google search I did.
Anyone recommend anyone in particular?

Oooh, you mean like those LED candles that is designed to mimick the real thing?

If so, I'm been eyeing at those as well! Safer, much more energy efficient for ambient lighting, and well, just plain looks cool!

I mean, look at that! Doesn't that look great?

The trouble is, all the ones I've found (so far) are battery operated. I want ones that you can just plug in instead. Again, I haven't found those yet. The closest are LED night lights, but they just don't have the same great look as LED candles.

In short... I don't have any recommendations.

I'm hoping someone will though, as I'd love to buy several of those if they're any good.

for the LED candles: try a drug store (CVS/Walgreens/Eckerd). i know i've seen them at one of these places, and they plug in rather than taking batteries...

Use the plug ins. The battery operated give off such low light that they are hard to see! Just my .02 cents!

I bought the ones from QVC. They are the ones that look and smell like a real candle. But these are more for year round, not just Holiday time. It would be kind of pricey to decorate your house with these. (About $18 for a set of 2 plus s/h)

That is more pratical but then again the purpose to have them is to enjoy them. if they need to be plugged in, need to hide the wires so its not so distracting and it limits where you can set them. You would not be able to put them on the table like the picture above unless the table is against the wall.
