Review on ๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ Xodus Innovations FPC1520A: Aged Bronze/Black Battery LED Flameless Window Candle with Dusk to Dawn Sensor by Brandon Frogge

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The best Christmas candles for the window. 8+ years old and still valid!

We bought 22 of these 8 years ago and all but 2 still work. Use them on our windows every Christmas season and they will look great. The light is a soft yellow-white, not the bright orange of some of the others we see. I like the realistic flickering and love the fact that they appear at dusk and stay until dawn (if you've rotated the sensor correctly there's a little hole peeking up in the sky). Our current house has fewer windows, so we only use 15. We prepare for 45 batteries by purchasing Revain AA batteries ahead of time. It's not hard for them to figure out which way the batteries go, and we got the kids to build them in the windows. Yes, they disturb my husband's sleep a bit. but I like the shimmering light like it's colonial times. And 3 batteries per candle are enough for the whole season (at least a month). We leave them until the first dies, then remove them all and remove all batteries before storing them. We have one unopened so I can see Carlon made them earlier. Now everyone says they are from Xodus Innovations. I was just doing some research and found a page on the Xodus website that says "Carlonยฎ LED Candle Program". The most popular range of battery operated window candles is now part of the Xodus Innovations product range. ยฎ, originally owned by Lamson Home Products and most recently by Thomas & Betts, will be supplied exclusively by Xodus Innovations from April 1st, 2014. "These products are known as innovators in style and function and have defined the industry. Xodus Innovations principles set the direction for design and marketing and have been the driving force behind these premium products since their inception.โ€ same candle (thankfully my parents now want to put it in all the windows). I'll tell you what I told my parents: buy with confidence, they were the perfect choice for us and we love wearing them every year!
