As much as we love sparking real candles for their scent and sensory warmth, we simply can't deny the set-and-forget convenience of flameless candles. They're an especially bright idea for households with curious pets or kids, those who host super-packed parties, or people who tend to doze off before blowing out their bedtime candle.
We've picked eight different flameless candle options — nearly all remote-control-operated for convenience — that'll impart their delightful warm glow to any room that you choose!
Moving-flame candles are one of our favorite ways to bring candlelit ambiance almost anywhere. This trio is one of the most inexpensive that we've found, and the included remote control powers everything from their flame movement and glow brightness, to their timer that can run from 2 to 8 hours.
They're a little smaller in diameter and more lightweight than more premium options, but their moving wick is still incredibly realistic.
These flameless candles are just shy of two inches tall, and though small, they're equipped with handy light functions such as a timer and two different glow modes, as well as brightness adjustment.
You don't have to go through all the trouble of lighting a fire just to enjoy an hour or two of the same warm and inviting atmosphere at home.
These tall pillar candles are a flameless and mess-free alternative, able to be arranged in your fireplace however you'd like and switched on and off at the push of a button!
Best Glowing Candles
Charlton Home Scented Flameless Candles (Set of Three)
Place these flameless candles by your entryway or on various levels of a bookshelf and set their timer to greet you at the same time everyday with their flickering glow. They're not quite as realistic as moving-flame candles, but when displayed from far away, we doubt anyone will be able to tell the difference!
Make every dinner at home feel like a special occasion by setting out your favorite taper holders with these flameless candlesticks in them. Their wicks move and are utterly enchanting to watch when viewed up close! The set also switches on and off via remote.
But if you don't love the faux-dripping-wax detail on these, we also recommend these flameless tapers as a slightly more realistic choice.
You can probably burn up a pack of regular tea lights in just one sitting, and keeping your eye on them all night takes all the fun out of playing party host. These flameless lights, however, have a lifespan of more than 200 hours, and are also individually operated via remote control!
Disperse this set of 12 mini votives all over your home and set them to daintily flicker for up to 8 hours at a time.
Best Color-Changing Candles
Tecke Color Changing Votive Flameless Candles (Set of 10)
These color-changing LED candles will kick any low-key gathering into party mode! Each one can be individually programmed by remote to glow a different hue, or mesmerizingly turn color.
Just keep in mind that these are votive-sized at just 2 inches high. For a slightly larger set, we recommend this one from Home Depot!
When one flickering flameless candle isn't enough, these string lights will bring unique, torch-lit ambiance anywhere they're placed. They're just as fun at Halloween as they are wrapped around a Christmas tree!
