Safety: Flameless candles eliminate the risk of fire hazards, making them a safer choice, especially in households with children or pets. There is no need to worry about accidental fires or burns. Flameless candles are most often used indoors, but that doesn’t mean you can’t use them outdoors, too. You just need to make sure you’re using flameless candles that are designed to handle the elements. The Enido flameless candles come in a set of three, and they’re made of plastic, which makes them easy to wipe down and keep clean. They also have an IP44 rating, which means that splashes of water from any direction (like rain) won’t cause damage. Plus, the candles are designed with drainage holes to prevent water from pooling and a rubber ring to seal off the battery chamber. Flameless candles are a safe option for setting up a tablescape or holiday mantel setting, providing ease of mind when you pass food across a table or have greenery on a mantle. When hosting an event, lining your walkway or putting flameless candles on the windowsill will (safely) make your home look extra inviting. While we tested the pillar duo you can also get smaller pillar candles in the same design. The fact that you can get the design in a variety of different sizes is ideal for covering all your garden party needs. The differing heights mean you can dress the table with the smallest pillar candles or illuminate the patio (as we did) with the largest design to ensure the entire yard is adequately lit. On the underside of each candle is a button with three positions – Off, 6H, and a hand symbol. The 6H represents timer mode, where you can set the candles to switch on at an allotted time, while the hand symbol indicates that the smart motion sensory mode is activated.

These colorful flameless pillar candles from Grandin Road provide all of the ambiance of burning candles without any of the worries. Available in six colorways, the options include a light pink, festive red, warm burnt orange, and other stylish choices. Two AA batteries are required but not included. These candles are suitable for indoor or outdoor use and while they are fully waterproof, take caution with the delicate faux flame—it could be ruined by the elements. Jung Lee, event architect and founder of Fête, Jung Lee NY, and Slowdance, explains, “Maintenance and control are two advantages of using flameless candles. It can be safer to use flameless candles especially when there are children present.” We also like how you can light up an entire room with one button. Each candle requires two AA batteries, which are not included. It's important to remember that the battery life depends on the frequency and duration of use. Avoid placing these flameless candles outside or in any location near direct sunlight.

Following the success of the TuGlow range of LED candles, this range has been specially designed to welcome a touch of flameless candle magic to outdoor living rooms and patio areas. And while ok, they don't look as realistic by day because they are quite obviously plastic – which we were a little disheartened by when we opened the box on arrival – all that was forgotten once dusk fell because these outdoor flameless candles only really come into their own once it's dark and then they can shine bright. As with the other candles on our list, this set has multiple timer options, but the 24-hour loop feature and the freedom to customize the candle settings with two remotes earned its spot on our list as the best flameless candle with a timer. Yes, you can leave flameless candles on all night, though we suggest putting yours on a timer if you're likely to forget to switch them off. Leaving one of these candles on all night will run their battery low and waste energy, but popping them on a timer will help conserve their battery life. Convenience: Flameless candles are easy to operate, often featuring features like timers and remote controls. You can set them to turn on and off automatically or adjust their settings from a distance.

Flameless candles are a great addition to any home. Crafted to look like traditional candles, flameless candles are made from wax or plastic. Most are battery-operated and can easily be turned on and off for instant ambiance wherever you are. Add-on features like remote controls and timers add to the ease of these cozy home accents. These Homemory candles are some of the best flameless candles to consider if you want to decorate a few rooms without investing too much. Since the set includes 24 candles, you can spread them around the house, use them all together, or mix and match them depending on the occasion.We love that the color choices aren’t garish or overly bright, just rich and warm, which is why it earned a spot on our list as the best flameless candle in colorful hues. There are three sizes available but not every color is available in all sizes. LED candles are the ultimate accessory when it comes to decorating your home, especially throughout the winter months,”says Lights4Fun’s director of products, Amy Mason. “Safe for both children and pets, the hyper-realistic flameless candles cast a warm ambient glow throughout your home. Choose from an assortment of sizes, colours, and designs and simply style along the dining table, windowsills and side tables to achieve the perfect cosy display.” Can you leave flameless candles on all night? Prolong the life of these outdoor candles by keeping them in a lantern or other weatherproof vessel. A timeless addition to any decor, the scalloped edge of the wax candle only enhances the authentic appearance. The pillar shape is available in three different sizes, and all have the same features. This candle runs on two D batteries, which are not included, and should last for up to 1,000 hours of runtime.

The 22cm high pillar candle is made from waxless, matt plastic to give the appearance of a real candle, which when placed inside a lantern you would be forgiven for thinking it was 100% the real thing.

If you have a non-working fireplace, grouping a set of flameless candles inside the fireplace or on a grate creates instant ambiance and lights up the fireplace. Finally, flameless candles can bring some safe spark into the bedroom or line your bathtub for a romantic or calming self-care retreat.
