Buying Guide
- Power source and battery life: Consider how often you want to replace batteries. Some models last longer on a single set, while others use more batteries for richer brightness.
- Timer and automation: Look for programs that fit your routine—six hours on/off versus eight hours on/off. Dusk-to-dawn sensors offer hands-free operation for evergreen displays.
- Finish and mounting: Antique bronze or brass-plated bases blend with traditional window frames, while black holders offer a modern contrast. Ensure the base is stable enough for your window sill.
- Light quality: Decide between warm white incandescent-like light or amber flicker. Flickering flames provide a realistic effect, while steady white light offers consistent ambiance.
- Durability and weather resistance: For exterior windows, select candles with solid construction and appropriate water resistance or weather sealing if exposed to humidity.
- Replacement bulbs and accessories: Check whether replacement bulbs are included and how easy they are to source. Some sets come with extra bulbs for convenience.
- Safety and certifications: UL-listed or equivalent safety certifications reduce concerns about electrical components and long-term usage in living spaces.
