Replace your candles with lifelike LED candles


Tradition meets modern design

In recent years, the use of LED candles in homes has increased significantly. Many people have stayed away from battery-powered lights because they seemed too artificial. It's often said that fake candles don't spread the same coziness as candlelight. But thanks to innovative LED technology, the lights become more and more lifelike. Today, it can be difficult to tell the difference between a traditional candle and an LED version.

If you want to create the cozy atmosphere we know from candles, you can safely choose the smart LED lights. Whether at home, in a shop or restaurant, you don't have to compromise on the look or the warm atmospheric light.


Why you should choose LED candles

Many find that the authentic and cozy feeling disappears when using artificial lights. With the latest developments, you can't tell the difference if you're not made aware of it. But there are also several other benefits to consider:

Safety is one of them and perhaps the most important. Around Christmas, firefighters are sometimes called out to fires caused by forgotten Christmas decorations with candles. The worst thing that can happen to an LED light if it is forgotten is that it runs out of power. It doesn't get hot, so there's no risk of children or animals burning themselves on the light.

Replacing your traditional candles with LED also has benefits for the indoor climate in your home. They don't smoulder like candles and therefore don't bother your eyes, nose or lungs - even with many candles lit at a time. The lights can be used for longer than the traditional solution because they use batteries. You can also increase the economic benefit by using rechargeable batteries. With the electric light, you can also leave the light "burning" on the windowsill when you're out, so it still looks like someone is home.

As an alternative to candles throughout the home

The most commonly used types of candles - tea lights, pillar candles and taper candles - are all available in various LED versions. With the traditional tealights, you have the option to put the candles in your small tealight holders on the table or on the windowsill. They also fit perfectly in a small indoor lantern, as they can be used without the lantern getting hot or sooty.

If you have a slightly larger lantern or light house, the block lights with LED can also be used here. They are also a great alternative in a creative decoration or Advent wreath as you don't risk the candles burning down and igniting flammable materials, and you also avoid the stearin running down the side and damaging tablecloths, window sills and other surfaces.

More recently, you can also get classic chandeliers with LEDs that look like ordinary candles from a distance. They are the same size as the traditional crown candle and therefore fit easily into your favorite candle holder, where the lively and dancing flame provides a charming light.


LED candle with remote control and timer

More and more LED lights have timer and/or remote control options. It's not a necessity, but it can have many benefits. With a remote control, you can turn your lights on and off without having to take them out of the candle holder or lantern. You can also set the candles to turn off automatically, often after 4, 6, 8 or 10 hours, which is also the burn time of many traditional candles. You don't have to worry about forgetting to extinguish your candles and using unnecessary battery power.

Uyuni Lighting: LED light with unique 3D flame

Danish company Uyuni Lighting has a range of battery-powered lights that are among the most popular on the market. The flame has no physical movement and therefore does not consume unnecessary battery power. Thanks to LED technology, their artificial candles have a particularly lifelike flame that gives the sensation of a small tongue of fire flickering lightly. Whether you choose tea lights, pillar candles, pillar candles or chandeliers, you get the cozy atmosphere that we know from candlelight. A great alternative to candles that ensures coziness without affecting your indoor climate.

Inspired by the crystal clear night sky over South America's Uyuni salt flats, the idea for the unique 3D flame was born. The night sky over the isolated salt flats is crystal clear due to the clean air and the distance to the nearest disturbing light. The designer's desire to bring the distant galaxies into every home around the world resulted in the innovative range of candles with the gently flickering light.
