The Medium Pillar Candle is an electronic candle module embedded in a real-wax candle, measuring 76mm x 128mm. The LED flame flickers realistically and the two AA batteries last for up to 250 hours: for three hours a night, that's nearly twelve weeks of cosy glow. They look great in a cluster.

It doesn't get hot, so it's safe to use near children, by your bed, on christmas trees, next to curtains, in a bathroom, and with table decorations. It won't mark a polished surface, it won't drip wax on the carpet or the tablecloth, and it won't matter if you go to sleep with it still on.

It's ideal for parties or special occasions, indoor and outdoor, as it won't burn anyone, set fire to anything, or spill hot wax if it gets knocked over. The switch is in the bottom of the embedded candle module.

The Smart Candle comes with two AAA 1.5V carbon-zinc batteries that will last for up to 70 hours. You can buy spare Duracell alkaline batteries which will last for up to 250 hours in the on-line shop, but don't mix carbon-zinc and alkaline or old and new.

Spare AAA batteries will always be useful as they're commonly used in cameras, calculators, torches, hand-held games, small radios, mp3 players, and toys.
