Description
These pewter LED taper candles bring the slim, upright shape of a traditional taper to your table, with a flame-shaped LED tip in place of a real flame. Each candle is 2.2cm across, a narrow taper that sits in a candlestick as a lit candle would. It is finished in a soft pewter grey with a gently textured surface that looks good whether the light is on or off. Lit, the tip gives a warm glow that reads as candlelight across a room. We offer them in two sizes, a set of two or a set of four, so you can choose a matching pair or enough to line a longer table.
Taper candles belong where people gather and linger: down the centre of a dining table, along a mantelpiece, on a console in the hall or on a sideboard. The set of two suits a pair of candlesticks either side of a centrepiece, while the set of four fills a four-arm holder or a row of single candlesticks. Because there is no open flame, there is no wax to drip onto a tablecloth and nothing burns down, so each candle keeps its height and shape from one evening to the next. Around the house, they look just as at home on a bedroom chest of drawers or a bookshelf as on the dining table.
The candles are battery operated, so there is no lead to hide and you can place them wherever they look best rather than near a socket. A built-in timer means you can set them once and let them light the room at the same time each evening without reaching for every candle. To keep the pewter finish looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth. Stand a set of four in candlesticks of varied height for a relaxed, staggered line, and let the warm glow do the rest.

Frequently Asked
What sizes do these taper candles come in?
We sell them in two sizes, a set of two and a set of four. Every candle in both sets is the same slim taper, 2.2cm across.
How are the candles powered?
They are battery operated. That means there is no lead or plug, so you can stand them anywhere in the room without looking for a socket.
Do they have a timer?
Yes, each candle has a built-in timer. You can set it once and let the candles come on together at the same time each evening.
Will they fit my candlesticks?
Each candle is 2.2cm across. They will suit any candlestick or multi-arm holder whose socket takes a taper of that width.
What colour are they?
They are a soft pewter grey with a gently textured surface. The colour sits easily with black, brass or silver candlesticks and with warm wood furniture.
How should I look after them?
Dust the candles now and then with a soft dry cloth, and keep them away from water so the finish and the light stay in good order.
