Description
This grey LED pillar candle is 7.5cm across and 10cm tall, with a flame-shaped tip set into a shallow dip in its top, the way a wax pillar looks once it has burned for a while. The outside is finished in paraffin, so it has the soft, matt surface of a real candle. When lit, the tip gives a warm glow much like a small flame. It runs on two AA batteries and turns itself off automatically after 8 hours, and at 0.19KG it is light enough to carry from one room to another whenever the mood takes you.
At 10cm tall it is a small pillar, a comfortable size for a bedside table, a bookshelf, a mantelpiece or a windowsill, and it sits neatly on a tray or a low stone or wooden stand among other candles. Because there is nothing to light and nothing to trim, it suits anyone who wants the look of candlelight on a weekday evening without matches or wicks. The 8-hour switch-off means a candle turned on in the early evening puts itself out later without a reminder, which makes it easy to leave glowing through an evening with friends, a film or a long read. It belongs in the living room, the bedroom, the hall or on the dining table as a centrepiece.
It is made from paraffin, polystyrene, copper, polypropylene, steel and silicone, with paraffin as the outer finish. Batteries are not included, so keep two AA batteries ready for the day it arrives. The maker's assembly instructions come as a PDF download. The styling props shown are not included. We like it beside pale stone, warm wood and linen; stand it in front of a taller pillar or two so the heights step down, and let its glow sit low at the front.
