Does it come with batteries?

No. You need to add batteries yourself before first use.

How does the timer work?

Switch it on and it stays lit for about 5 hours, then turns off and repeats the same cycle each day.

Yes. The pillar has a real wax shell around the LED, which is why it looks closer to a real candle than plastic versions.

Can I use it outdoors?

It is best indoors or on a covered porch. It is not described as weatherproof, so rain and direct sun are not advised.

Does it flicker or smell?

The light is steady rather than flickering, and it is unscented, so there is no candle smell.

Will it fit a standard holder?

It is a 4-inch-wide pillar, so it needs a holder or lantern with a base wide enough for that diameter.

Our take on the Mainstays Unscented Flameless LED Pillar Candle, Ivory, 4 x 8 in

This is a single 4 x 8 inch flameless pillar candle in ivory, made with a real wax shell around an LED light. It gives the look of a lit pillar candle without an open flame, so it is safe around pets, children and fabric. A built-in 5-hour timer turns it on and off each day, and it runs on batteries you supply. It suits shelves, lanterns, holders and tables where you want steady glow without smoke or wax drips. Against plain plastic flameless candles, the wax finish looks more convincing; against rechargeable or remote-controlled rivals, it is simpler and needs manual switching and battery changes.
