Description
These are LED candles in the shape of a classic taper, sold as a pack of two, each one 2.2cm across and 28.5cm tall. The body turns in a tight spiral twist from a fluted base to a narrow top, where a flame-shaped tip gives the light. The colour is green and the finish is paraffin, so the outer surface of each candle is wax, which gives them the soft sheen of a real taper. At that height they stand well in a candlestick and look in proportion on a mantelpiece or shelf.
Because the light comes from an LED and the power from batteries, there is no plug and no cable to hide, so the pair can go wherever a candlestick stands: a mantelpiece, a sideboard, a hallway console, a deep windowsill or a bookshelf in the living room. A diameter of 2.2cm is a slim taper size, so choose candlesticks or holders with a socket made for a candle 2.2cm across. They suit anyone who loves candlelight through the darker months and wants a matching pair of tapers, one at each end of a mantelpiece or side by side in two holders of different heights.
Each candle is made of paraffin, polystyrene, copper, polypropylene, steel and silicone, with the paraffin as the outer finish. They run on AAA batteries; the maker lists two, and they are not included, so have some ready. A timer turns them off automatically after six hours, which means you can switch them on as the evening begins and leave them to go out on their own. For styling, the spiral catches the light along its whole length, so plain metal or wooden candlesticks let the twist be the detail that people notice; the styling props shown are not included.
