Description
These are LED candles made in the form of a classic taper, sold as a pack of two and finished in paraffin, so the surface has the soft look of real wax. Each candle is 2.2cm across and 24.5cm tall, with fine ribs running the length of the stem, a ribbed foot and a flame-shaped tip that glows when powered. The pink is soft and muted, and the ribbing throws narrow lines of light and shade so the colour never looks flat. Two candles to a pack means a matched pair, ready for a candlestick at each end of a shelf.
At 2.2cm across they are a classic taper width, so they should sit in most ordinary candlesticks and candelabras. They suit anyone who loves candlelight but would rather have nothing to light and no wick to trim: a mantelpiece, a sideboard, a hallway console, a deep windowsill or a bedside table all work well. A timer turns them off automatically after 8 hours, so you can set them glowing in the early evening and leave them to it. They run on batteries; the maker lists two AAA, and the batteries are not included, so keep a supply in the drawer.
Alongside the paraffin finish, the materials listed are polystyrene, copper, polypropylene, steel and silicone. Paraffin has the soft, slightly waxy feel of a poured candle, so they sit comfortably beside real ones. The maker's assembly instructions come as a PDF download, and they are worth keeping somewhere handy. The styling props shown are not included. For a relaxed, sculptural look, set the pair in mismatched holders at slightly different heights; for something neater, stand them side by side in matching candlesticks along a mantelpiece, where the ribs catch the evening light.
