Battery powered lights continue to grow in popularity when it comes to holiday décor, but even outside of that seasonal realm. For people who have allergies to scents but enjoy the warm glow of a candle, flameless candles have been a perfect alternative. Even those that have small children or pets that have shied away from igniting candles are opting for battery powered candle lights as a safer alternative. And thanks to recent advancements, there is no longer a sense of sacrifice when choosing this option. Batteries are lasting longer due to the different bulb usage like LEDs, and the intricate workings have become more streamlined, which also helps prolong the life of the light.
Cordless illumination and battery operated candles have also opened the door to adding illumination to things that before were either unsafe or impossible. Lighting up jars filled with shiny ornaments or shimmering pinecones adds cheer to an area or corner that could not be done before. Leaving an illuminated centerpiece unattended when the family is over no longer carries the fear that the toddler will climb on the table and hurt themselves by the flame or hot wax. Lighting the wreath on the front door no longer consists of fraying an extension cord between the door and frame and running the risk of a short or electrical fire when a wire becomes exposed. Now a homeowner can wrap the wreath in cordless illumination and set a timer for it to shine while visitors come and go.
