Clean and simple, the White Flameless Candle Pillar belongs in any room in your house. Real paraffin wax, moving flame technology and a scalloped top recreate the elegance of traditional burning candles. Display this candle with modern decor for calm neutrality, or let this candle illuminate your antique plates, vases, books, picture frames and candleholders. Luminara Real-Flame Effect Pillar Candles are made with 100% pure paraffin wax, hand poured and carefully designed to look like traditional candles. They are safer to use than traditional candles, since no actual combustion or 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 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. Each candle takes 2 C 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 can provide up to 600 hours of runtime before needing to replace the batteries. With proper care, these flameless candles will provide years of lovely, safe illumination. 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. They make excellent presents for any occasion--Christmas, birthdays, Mother's Day, party hostess gifts, or even for yourself!
