Candles are romantic as they give out a soft light and some warmth during those cold nights, but always remember that they do have the potential of being a fire hazard in your home. Thanks to the genius of Thomas Alva Edison and his creation of the light bulb, its successors have managed to end up in a myriad of practical applications, where among them would include the Electronic Mooncandles.

Remote Control Candles! Now how achingly cool is that? It sounds daft, but it’s true. No hunting for matches, no wax oozing over the furniture, and of course, no getting up from your chair ? just click the remote control and voila, your artfully positioned candles magically spring to life. They look just like the real thing, they can either glow constantly, at a choice of two brightness levels, or flicker just like the real thing. You can also set them to four or eight hours of light time, so you don’t even have to remember to turn them off ? and you can do it all from the comfort of your armchair.

Since they’re remote controlled, don’t be too surprised by the price, where the original Mooncandle is going for £29.99 while the multicolor version surprisingly costs the same as well.
