Review on Luminara Set Of 2 Candy Cane Glitter Stripe White Flameless Candle Tapers - Melted Top Real Wax With Red Glitter Swirl, Unscented, Timer, Remote Ready by Corey Holloway

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I had low expectations . . . WOW! Was I surprised!

100/100WOW! This "candle” looks awesome! It is very solidly built. It looks and feels "waxy” and the candy cane decorations look elegantly nice, not glitter-tacky "nice”.I immediately stuck in a set of batteries (NOT INCLUDED) and flipped it on. Wow. Standing right up over it, the "candle” is obviously fake, but step 3 feet away and you’d never know it wasn’t a candle flame without really focusing on it. Put it in a "hurricane globe” and it’s almost impossible to tell.The next day after thoroughly recharging the batteries (2 low self discharge NiMH AA), I turned it on at about 0900 and let it "burn”. Several times during the day I caught myself thinking "I better check that candle” . . . then catching myself remembering it’s NOT a candle! LOL It "burned” until I went to bed well after midnight . . . about 15 hours, not bad. Next day, turned it on at about 0800 and it "burned” until well past midnight, when again, I turned it off for the night. I’m certain the battery life on this is good (especially if you use rechargables).The "better half” said it’s very comforting . . . Like having a fire.10 days later, and the batteries are still going strong. When we move it we also still catch ourselves thinking to be careful of the heat, etc. LOL . . . This "candle" is better than the real thing!I’m confident we’ll be getting more of them . . . and Luminara specifically. You cannot go wrong with these.Ultimately, is it worth the price? Absolutely!

Pros
  • 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!
Cons
  • The glitter stripe design may not be suitable for those who prefer a minimalist or sleek look
