Description
The Otobe is a pillar LED candle in a soft taupe, with fine vertical ribs and a gentle wave running through its body, finished at the top by a neatly scalloped rim. A white flame-shaped insert sits in the centre, lit by an integrated LED with a flicker effect, so it moves softly the way a real flame does rather than holding one fixed glow. It stands 10cm tall and 7cm in diameter and weighs just 0.19KG, a compact size that slips easily onto a narrow shelf or a bedside table. As a piece of decor it belongs indoors, in a dry room.
We like it on a mantelpiece, a sideboard, a bookshelf or the middle of a dining table, anywhere you want the warmth of candlelight in the evening without striking a match. The taupe is a warm grey-beige that sits comfortably beside cream walls, white ceramics, pale wood and soft greys, and the wavy ribbing gives it plenty of character even during the day while the LED rests. It suits a living room or bedroom where you want a cosy glow without a wick to trim or a lighter to keep handy, and it makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves candlelight.
The built-in timer is the most useful detail here: with it running, the candle glows for 5 hours and then stays dark for 19 hours, so the evening glow looks after itself. A simple on/off switch gives you control whenever you want the light at other times. Batteries are not included, so keep a set ready for the first evening.
