Flameless Candles — Set of 2
Real wax, a sculpted LED wick that actually flickers, and a six-hour timer that starts itself again every night. All the glow of a candle, none of the watching it.
Light the table. Skip the matches.
Leave the room. Leave the house.
A real candle is a thing you have to keep an eye on. These are not. Halloween night is the worst possible night for an open flame - you are at the door or out with the kids for four hours while it burns unattended. This one just sits there glowing.
It remembers what time it is.
Push the button on the base and it lights for six hours, shuts itself off, then does it again at the same time tomorrow. You set it in early October and you are finished thinking about it.
It does not look like a plastic tube.
The body is real wax with the texture to prove it, so it reads as a candle across a dark room rather than as a battery-operated prop. Up close in a bright room you can tell. That is the only place it matters.
Three steps. That's the whole job.
Drop it in a holder
Standard taper size, so any candlestick you already own will take it.
Press the base
One button on the bottom. That is the entire interface.
Forget about it
Six hours on, then off, then on again tomorrow night.
The details that matter.
Real wax, 9.64 inches
Standard dinner-taper height and 0.78 inches across, so it fits normal holders.
3D flickering wick
A sculpted flame on a post that moves like the real thing instead of glowing flat.
6-hour cycle timer
On for six hours, off for eighteen, repeating every 24 hours.
One button
On the base. No remote to lose, no app, no pairing.
No flame, no wax pool
Nothing to drip on the sill, nothing to scrape off later, nothing to relight.
2 AAA per candle
Four total. Not included - grab them when you order.
What it does — and what it doesn't.
Here's the truth up front, before you buy:
- ✓ They need a holder. These are tapers, not pillars. They will not stand on their own, and a holder is not included in the box.
- ✓ No remote. The button on the base is it. Some listings in this category include one; this one does not.
- ✓ No scent. If you buy candles for the smell, buy candles. This is light only.
- ✓ Indoor use. Not weather-rated. Keep them inside or somewhere fully covered.

Real customer“Perfect”
We bought 18 of these candles. They are really amazing and have a very realistic feel. They are real wax. The flame and wick have a good look. They fit perfectly in all standard candle holders. I read the negative reviews and most are apparently talking about a different product — such as talking about a remote control. There is nothing in the listing about a remote, and they do not come with one. The click switch on the bottom works perfectly. The plastic base fits perfectly in multiple candle holders we have collected over 40 years, and is completely concealed. Burning brightly for over two weeks of daily use on new AAA batteries.
“Cool candles”
I like how the candles are made from real wax — they look like real candles. And the 6 hour automatic timer is a really cool feature. I turn them on at dusk and then they stay on for 6 hours. They add a nice ambience to the house.
“Love that these have a timer”
Love that these have a timer. Have got to take one with me to find a candle holder that they will fit good in — the first ones I got, they didn't fit.
“Flameless taper candles”
Love them — good value for the money, looks nice on my fireplace mantel. I would buy again.
“Authentic looking in the dark, but…”
I ordered two of these candles. They are lovely and look authentic in the dark. I really like them, but there is a technical glitch — they have an on/off switch on the bottom, and one works as it should while the other will not turn off. You have to unscrew the bottom to take out the batteries. As much as I like their looks, I find this a minor problem.
“Nice quality”
Absolutely beautiful set of candles. Work great, look great and easy to use. Would highly recommend and buy again.
“Bottom sticks up in the candle”
I wish the bottom of each candle matched the colour of the candle.
“Nice”
They look just like real candles.
“Still working beautifully”
I've had these a few months now and they continue to look and work beautifully. These are nice quality candles.
“Great value, easy to operate”
Great value and easy to operate.
“Loved that there was no remote”
I loved the shape of these candles, the colour, the flame and the light they put off — and mostly I loved the fact that there was no remote. Two arrived with cracks in the wax, so I handled the rest gently. Update: changed from 2 stars to 4 because I heard from customer support and was sent a new set with no cracks. Love these candles.

Two real-wax tapers, a six-hour timer, and nothing that can burn the place down while you are handing out candy.
