Beautiful meditative and safe.
When I first heard of the flameless candles I kept thinking 'what a Godsend for a challenged safety conscious household.' I have a very large inquisitive dog that does not need to be around real flames. Also my hubby has asthma so we use scented candles infrequently; mostly during entertaining. So I loved the idea that some of the flameless candles offer optional diffusers just for those special occasions. Also that there is NO smoke which itself can disturb allergies and there is increasing scientific evidence that toxins emitted burning candles can be a health hazard.
However some of the first flameless candles that I saw did not look very realistic at all; the lights did not flicker. Thank goodness they are making progress so that we can now bring them home and display them proudly while increasing our safety.
I purchased the AromaSpa Candle and couldn't be more pleased. I've had it for 3 months and I ritualistically turn it on almost every evening. I find it quite soothing and very realistic with the flickering light. I have mine located where I am able to plug it in unobtrusively. So I generally leave it on until it turns itself off in six hours. Since mine is plugged in I have no problems using the diffuser if I so desire and it offers sufficient aroma to satisfy me without overdoing it.
It just so happens that I had a large clear glass plate that came with river rocks and three real candles. I had long ago used the candles but immediately thought that this candle would look great nestled in the plate of river rocks. I was right! It looks as though they came together and added to the elegance of the total picture. It is really attractive.
There are so many places where flameless candles can bring peace and tranquility where real flames aren't permitted. For the hospitalized patient. Anyone home-bound or disabled that might not want to deal with managing a real candle. For that forgetful senior citizen or the teen that you just don't trust with real candles in their room just yet. A dull office or a little cube space could sure be brought to life and maybe offer a Zen moment here and there.
Okay enough said! You can see I'm turned on by this candle and the idea of flameless candles in general. I think you just might be too.More detail ...
