Battery Operated Candles

Battery Operated Candles offer you a flame free; worry free flickering light that realistically simulates candles. They are a superb mood light and come in a variety of shapes and sizes.  Battery Operated Candles give off a dim candle glow, ideal for creating a romantic atmosphere, particularly for alfresco dining, as there's no need to worry about them blowing out!

Battery Operated Candles are a great addition to a guest’s bedroom, in the hallway or the bathroom as a night light, on the mantel piece and of course you should never be without one, or more, on the dining table. They are ideal for all sorts of gatherings and parties including weddings, birthday parties and at Halloween and Christmas.   The use of mirrors with candles (as mentioned for other items), is a great way of multiplying the number of candles you actually have. Candles placed in front of, or on top of a mirror means you double the amount of candles, thus giving more light and more atmosphere. A good decorators tip, is to use items in odd numbers as it tends to be more pleasing to the eye. So, for instance, if you have candles on your mantel, use them in groups of 3 or 5 for a more dramatic effect.

Battery Operated Candles make perfect gifts for children and adults alike.  The Colour changing options are great, safe and fun for kids and you can rest assure they will be safe in bedrooms and playrooms. Some Battery Operated Candles come with a long lasting lithium battery included so need to worry about changing batteries for a long time to come!

My Pick

My choice in battery operated candles would have to be the OXO Candela Glow range which is featured above. They are beautiful in design and clever in function. They come in a choice of colours or as a natural candle glow or you can buy a coloured top that fits over the top to instantly change your candela from natural to your chosen of colour! To recharge, you simply place the candelas back on their base and they recharge automatically. How easy is that? There's no fiddling about with removing and replacing batteries which makes them especially clever and efficient. To use, simply take them off their base and they illuminate automatically for up to 8 hours (having being full charged). They can be used both indoors and outdoors.

Around The Home

If you are after a more authentic wax candle look, then there are a vast array of options like those below which are ideal for around the home. Use them in a lantern, place them on the mantel piece, on the dining table, basically you can put them anywhere, turn them on and leave the room worry free! Some options even have a realistic drip!

Fun For You And The Kids

The colour changing candle options are great fun. They are a particularly good choice for children as there is no worrying about flickering flames. I love the quirky milk glass night light. What kid, young or old wouldn't love any of these?
