The use of conventional candles has traditionally enhanced the ambiance of a room, a party or an event. Unfortunately, there are numerous limitations with its use such as clean up problems as well as a safety and fire hazard. This is the reason why a majority of home owners have started using led tealights for both indoor and outdoor occasions from romantic dinners to family parties.
The number of colours, sizes, and designs of the flameless led lights make it suitable for any social event. Large sized led candles are more suitable for large outdoor parties since it can also be used as lighting enhancements specifically for a garden setting. Flameless tea lights using realistic flickering bulbs are more often used at small tables since it will outlast the light generated by conventional tea lights.
If the home owner is hosting a family style dinner, then the use of flameless tea lights is considered to be a safety feature especially when children and elderly guests are invited. The value of using led tea lights is that it is safe enough to be touched by children even with their bare hands. The reason for this is that led tea lights remain cool to the touch and present no fire danger.
These led tea lights normally use button cell batteries, which are not only inexpensive for the home owner but also readily sold at the nearest hardware store. These batteries can sometimes last as long as 80 hours, much longer than a traditional wax tea light. This is also a convenient alternative for use outdoors, not only for the safety aspect, but also because these lights will not be blown out by the wind.
As part of the party decorations, home owners will even place the led tea lights in unconventional places where flamed candles simply couldn’t go. Popular decorative spots tend to be the top of fireplaces, window sills, book shelves and also to give accent lighting to plants without fearing an accidental fire. Smoke and odors are not an issue for guests that have allergies or asthma problems since these led tea lights emit no fumes whatsoever.
The flameless tea lights are made to fit regular tea light holders as well as votive holders making them look more genuine without the waxy mess of conventional tealight candles. Many parents use these as a night light for children, who love the realistic flickering flame effect.
For modern, busy households or for those who don’t want the hassle and worry of a flamed candle, flameless tea lights really are a wonderful product.
