- How realistic does the flame look?
- The flame is a 3D moving element, not a painted bulb tip, so it shifts and flickers as you walk past. The thick wax shell and melted-edge top add to the effect. It reads as a candle at a glance, though close up you can tell it is LED.
- How does the timer work?
- Turn it on at the time you want it lit and it stays on for 4 hours, then shuts off for 20 and repeats daily. You do not need to reset it each night. Switch it off to stop the cycle.
- What batteries does it take, and how long do they last?
- It takes two C batteries, which are not included. The rated run time is up to 600 hours, so with the 4-hour timer that is roughly several months of nightly use before a change.
- Is it safe around children and pets?
- Yes. There is no flame, no heat worth worrying about, no smoke and no wax to drip. The wax shell is still real wax, so keep it out of reach of chewers.
- Can I use it outdoors?
- It is built for indoor décor. The wax shell and plastic base are not described as weatherproof, so keep it on covered porches or inside rather than in rain or direct sun.
- Does it come in other sizes?
- The same candle is made in 3 x 5.12, 3 x 6.12 and 3 x 7.12 inch pillars, so you can group different heights. Each is sold as a single candle.
