Flameless candles are perfect for adding the glow of candlelight safely and beautifully.
Every day we hear in the news of house fires caused by an unattended candle. It is of extreme importance that you never burn a candle unless you will be around.
If you have a display that needs to be lit and on display all the time a battery operated LED pillar candle or and electric candle are the better alternative.
Personally, I dont like the artificial-ness of battery candles but they do have their place.
If you intend to use candles with a naked flame, please follow a few simple steps that will prevent the unthinkable...a fire in your home.....
- Use a hurricane holder to protect the flame or
- Ensure your candleholder has a wide stable base
- Keep candles away from curtains and other flammable items
- Keep candles out of breezes
- Keep candles out of the reach of children and pets
- Set yourself an alarm to remind you to extinguish your candle before you leave the house or go to bed
- Extinguish your candle flame with a proper candle snuffer. (Blowing it out can also reduce the effectiveness and long life of your candle).
