Enjoy the cozy glow of candles without any of the fuss! Luminara Real-Flame Effect Pillar Candles are made with 100% pure paraffin wax, hand-poured, and carefully shaped to look like they are in the process of being burned. The light color is a warm white encased in a yellow flame designed to be as realistic as possible. It automatically flickers when you turn the candle on, increasing the realism. Candles can provide up to 1000 hours of runtime before needing to replace the batteries. With proper care, these flameless candles will provide years of lovely, safe illumination. These unscented flameless candles are safer to use than traditional candles since no actual combustion of wax consumption happens. That means no soot or chemicals are released into the air, making them perfect for use indoors. They're perfect for households with small curious children and rambunctious pets. The cleaner air makes them a great option for people who like the looks of candles, but are barred from using them due to sensitivities or breathing problems. At this 3.5" in diameter and 9" high, this real flame-effect candle isn't so small it disappears into the background, but not so big it dominates the room. It is turned on and off by a switch on the bottom, which also activates the timer. This style of flameless candle is capable of being operated by a remote. Each candle takes 2 D Batteries (purchase separately). When using the timer function, the candle will light up for 5 hours, and then automatically shut off for 19 hours. Candles come packaged in sturdy boxes to protect them during the shipping process. They also are easy to wrap without having to search for just the right shaped box. Make excellent presents for any occasion--Christmas, birthdays, Mother's Day, party hostess gifts, or even for yourself!
