Cordless Christmas Tree Candles
The Yuletide season is upon us yet again pretty soon – showing just how fast time flies. Well, that would mean taking out the old plastic Christmas tree and decorating it yet again, or you could always do it the other way round by biding your time to choose the right tree for that particular year. Either way, leaving the tree all plain is just wrong, which is why there is also the selection headache when it comes to decorations and ornaments. Enter the Cordless Christmas Tree Candles which by its name, you can tell that they’re a whole lot more convenient since you won’t have to worry about the hazard of flames or the hassle of tangled electric cords.
Each PVC candle will come with a molded crystal “flame”, holding a single LED which flickers softly like a wind-drawn wick. Located at the candle’s base is a powerful magnet that attaches to a swiveling green spring clip, letting them be positioned at virtually any angle on Christmas trees, garland, or other trim. An IR remote control will rule the candles within a 12-foot radius, setting them to blink or illuminate continuously and are rated for 50,000 hours. Of course, these candles aren’t powered by pixie dust, but will require an AA battery which lasts for up to 180 hours. The Cordless Christmas Tree Candles are going for $49.95 for a dozen.
