Review on Luminara Outdoor Moving Flame Pillar (IPX4) Set Of 2 With Remote Control, Flameless LED Candle, Melted Edge, Smooth Matte Finish, Timer - Ivory 5.5"+6.5 by Benjamin Chang

I LOVE Luminara candles. These are my first outdoor ones and I’m super happy with them. I like to use lots of candlelit lanterns in the garden at night. Luminara takes away my concerns around fire (I have a garden room attached to the house, and use lots of candles in it). It also makes "setting the scene” as easy as the push of a button. So I’m far more likely to have all of the candles illuminated with Luminara than I was with regular candles (which require lighting each one and blowing each one out at the end of the evening). Here are my thoughts summarized:Pros: - Plastic, so they won’t melt- Turn on with the remote. One remote can work all of the Luminara candles you have.- Long battery life.- Most realistic "fake” candle, by far, that I’ve found.- They create a beautiful ambianceCons:- They aren’t going to fool anyone if someone looks closely at them.- They are pretty pricey (but so are good-quality regular candles)- They require batteries (they aren’t rechargeable). You can always buy rechargeable batteries though.Thoughts:- They work especially well in lanterns that create a layer between the viewer and the candle.- It is nice to mix different kinds of ambient light outdoors, along with the Luminara candles. For example - solar lanterns, fairly lights, etc.
