While candles can add beautiful ambience to any setting, they don't last long and can become costly to replace. In addition, even a mild breeze can turn a small candle into a dangerous fire hazard. But the long-lasting Battery-Operated Flicker Candle imitates natural candles, shining a flickering light and made of a wax-like resin that looks and feels like real wax. Since it runs on battery power, you'll never have to worry about its flame burning out of control. The Battery-Operated Flicker Candle is powered by four AA batteries, sold separately. Battery-operated candle The Battery-Operated Flicker Candle contains three LEDs that produce multiple points of randomly shifting light, creating a glow that flickers, rolls, and casts dancing shadows, just like a real candle flame. A microchip inside the candle creates random, non-repeating light patterns. The Battery-Operated Flicker Candle is white with smooth sides. The candle is also available in natural beeswax with wax drippings down its sides for authenticity. Candles of different sizes are also available in battery-operated and electric styles. All candles are sold separately.
