Flameless Battery Operated Candles

Battery operated candles can be used throughout the year to add the same romantic and soothing ambiance that flame wax candles can bring. There are several reasons someone might choose flameless candles over regular candles. Most notably, they can be used in table settings, like holiday centerpieces, and even at Halloween. Think of all the places you can use a battery operated tea light.

Christmas Ornaments
Flameless tea light candles make fantastic Christmas Ornaments. You can use them on the mantle, to bring warmth and a festive flickering light even when there's no fire burning. Consider placing a flickering candle in front of a mirror, to direct and intensify the light and to enhance the glow from the "flame."

Battery Operated Tea Lights
A flameless candle also works well in a decorative votive holder. There are several varieties of decorative votive holders on the market, including hand blown glass and beaded candle holders. These can be used as table decor, night lights, or to brighten up a dark corner.

Outdoor Flameless Candles
There are outdoor fixtures on the market designed for use with wax free candles. Battery operated candles look great outdoors, and you can even find some that are solar powered. A solar powered flameless candle is great because it collects energy during the daytime and as the sun goes down, it gets brighter. These can be installed anywhere in the garden and don't need electrical wiring. they often come with a long stake that simply needs to be pressed into the ground.

Regardless of where you decide to use a flameless candle, you will be delighted with the flickering light they produce. My favorite ones are long-lasting and cheaper than regular tea lights. Since they never melt down, they can be used for long periods of time without needing to be replaced. If the battery dies, replacement batteries are inexpensive and long-lasting. Think of all the places you can use a smokeless, flameless candle in your home.
