During the holiday season, many people enjoy putting candles in their windows as a festive decoration; this can be risky as any open flame that is left unattended is a potential fire hazard. LED timer candles can provide similar ambiance without the dangers of an open flame.
When an open flame is near glass, especially in the cold weather that accompanies the holiday season, the flame can discolor the glass and crack it if the conditions are right. If it’s very cold outdoors and the glass is single pane, the glass will be as cold as the outside and the heat from the candle can easily cause it to break. The modern LED candles eliminate this hazard. These candles can do a good job of mimicking the flame of a real candle, even to the point of the faux flame flickering like real candles. These types of candles are quite beautiful and are available in a host of colors, sizes and designs; they can run from the house electrical system or from replaceable batteries, most come with a timer.
LED timer candles do not pose any danger of fire when they are in the window next to drapes and in close proximity to other combustibles. These candles can create a very close replica of a candle flame without any danger of fire. The modern LED candles are akin to Christmas tree lights that in their early days replaced dangerous candles that were actually used on the combustible Christmas tree.
When the first LED candles were put on the market they were not as realistic as they are today. Today, these candles look very much like the real thing. The component of the candle that mimics the flame is made from a plastic molding, the LED lamp that is fitted inside can be controlled to give it a flickering effect or even have a subtle color change. When these candles are in the window, they provide an identical atmosphere, welcoming from the outside and giving a light source on the inside.
When the power supply to these LED candles is the house current, they can operate day and night with very little current draw. The cordless timer candles can be placed anywhere, there is no need for the candles to be placed close to an outlet.
Mr. Light has a wide range of timer candles available. They can be tall tapers with real brass candlesticks or flickering votives that look real and are so efficient that they can stay lit for four months on one battery.
