After having been the main source of illumination in centuries past, today candles - in their more modern LED version - have become indispensable decoration elements for both great occasions and moments of relaxation.

Discover with us all the led candles and get inspired by our ideas to create delicious and original compositions for your home and fittings. You won't be able to do without them anymore!

LED candles | More safety

It is not difficult to fall in love with the soft lines of candles, the fragrance they give off and their romantic touch...

However, when using them, great care must be taken because their flame can destroy a party.

They can endanger a child or animal playing near them, you and your home if in a moment of distraction you forget to turn them off or accidentally bump them.

Moreover, melted wax can damage your furniture.

Not to mention that many of the candles on the market are not of good quality and can be hazardous to health, polluting and worsening the air quality in the room.

With LED candles all these problems disappear.

The electric candles in fact, imitating the shape and consistency of open flame ones in a completely safe way, they are an excellent alternative for decoration.

An example of how you can use them to embellish your rooms?

Arrange them on the table for a romantic candlelit dinner or on the terrace in summer to party with friends.

You can also use them in thesetting up for a chic wedding or a romantic outdoor wedding with specially designed decorationsrose-shaped battery-operated candleslittle tealight e white shabby lanterns.

All this while simply enjoying the scenery and without taking any risks.

The soft lights of LED candles are the best allies in wedding decoration.

You can place them near flammable objects and fabrics with confidence because, being battery-operated candles with a false flame, they do not heat up or burn.

They enhance your events and decorations and your home with lightness and simplicity.

If you love DIY, you can use them to create floral centrepieces or combine them with coloured ribbons or pictures to decorate your home or, why not, to make customised candles.

Haven't we persuaded you yet?

Led candles | More convenient

Imagine spending time and energy setting up an event with dozens or hundreds of impressive candles on the tables and at the sides of the pathways.

All that remains is to light them up and pray that a gust of wind does not come along to blow them out.

With LED candles you can enjoy the party without worries because they are candles that do not go out.

Moreover, thanks to the supplied remote control, you can choose when and how to use them, programming the switch-on and switch-off time via the integrated timer.

Candles with remote control give you great convenience. You can switch them off from a distance of up to 3 metres.

Imagine you are on the sofa or in bed, you don't have to get up to turn them off.

Some of our models give you the possibility to change the intensity, the effect - from steady light to flame effect - the colour of the light, and all this at the touch of a button.

This is ideal if you work as a wedding planner or are involved in setting up a wedding and want to vary the brightness of the candles after the cocktail hour, or select the flame effect to create a more magical atmosphere. All guests will be amazed.

You can also let your imagination run wild by creating simple Christmas centrepieces and other DIY decorations.

The timer integrated in our battery-operated candles can also be useful for switching the decoration off automatically after 6 hours and switching it on again after 18.

Once you have tried LED candles with remote control and candles with timers, you will not want to do without them.

Led candles | Wide variety

The greatest advantage of LED candles is that they represent a world of possibilities.

The wide variety of colours, shapes and materials offers a practical solution for all your decoration ideas.

We have red candles, white candles and silver, gold and copper-coloured LED candles.

You also find colour-changing RGB candles to help you relax by creating the atmosphere of a colour therapy session.

You find common pillar candles as well as tall and thin electric candles for religious processions.

There are votive candles for the table and tealights that many churches are already using.

If you often give yourself to DIY home decorations, floating and submersible candles make your life easier.

Try decorating a living room cabinet with a floral arrangement in a transparent vase for a warm welcome home.

In our online shop you will find many candle sets - of different sizes - for setting the table on the terrace and candelabra with LED candles, perfect for a romantic Valentine's Day dinner.

Led candles | As beautiful as traditional ones

If you think you can distinguish real candles from LED candles from a metre away, you are not familiar with LED candles with moving flames.

Made from natural wax, these candles present the imperfections of handmade candles to the touch.

The edge is irregular, simulating the slow consumption of a traditional candle.

But what really makes them realistic is the moving flame.

A white plastic tab flickers, illuminated by an LED at the base, creating a very striking effect.

Watch the product video to get an idea of the effect it creates.

This series also includes real wax led candles with drops, available in different heights, the thinner ones easily fit in a candelabra.

So why give up the advantages of LED candles if they look like real ones and are much more comfortable and safer?

Led candles | Trendy decoration

As we said at the beginning, candles are no longer an object of illumination but of decoration, so it is essential that they follow trends.

Metallic colours have invaded our homes and given rise to several product lines in decoration shops.

And we don't want to be outdone!

This is why you will find our new collection of gold, silver and copper LED candles among the moving flame candles.

You can use them separately or combine them, to decorate the Christmas table, to give a glamorous touch to an event or a more modern look to home décor.

But not only LED candles dictate trends. Combine them with designer lanterns for a home worthy of the cover of a decorating magazine.

And if you don't want to complicate your life, choose one of the Led Candle Lanterns from our online shop of light decorations.
