Electric Candle Benefits
Electric candles have plenty of benefits. There's no melting wax here, so they are cleaner than traditional candles. They don't even need to be replaced as the candles burn down. They produce less heat than open flames (LED candles barely produce any heat) and are safer to use particularly when there are children and pets present in the house.
Electric candles can be easily placed in areas where regular candles may prove to be hazardous, for example near curtains, plants or other flammable materials. Their electrically-powered flame is immune to winds and breezes that can easily blow out traditional candles.
Electric Window Candle Designs
There are a number of designs available for electric candles. Classic white taper candles are a popular choice, and they come in different heights. Other options include:
- Different metal candlesticks - bronze, gold, brass
- Partially melted or dripping wax candles
- Different bulb designs - clear, faceted or opaque
- Different bulb action for instance clear glowing, flickering or color changing styles
- Candelabra designs that use from 3 to 7 candles in one arrangement, frequently with differing heights
- Candles with photo sensors that automatically turn on and off with varied light levels
- Flameless scented candles with fragrances of sugar cookies, gingerbread, pine, or other seasonal scents to the room
Decorating With Electric Candles
Seasonal decorations such as holly sprigs, ribbons or others come along with these candles. Candles can be added to a pine or holly swag that will decorate the interior windowsill and at the same time be visible from the outside. To create colorful accent, tiny candle rings can be kept around the taper.
When placing electric candles in windows, note that the height of the "flame" should be positioned such that it's easily visible from outside. The candles can be arranged in differing heights for a more elegant effect.
