There is nothing more relaxing than going to a room and lying down on a sofa or bed, with soft flickering lights and turning on soft music. However, the magic would soon fade and the room plunges in darkness, or worse in a fire, after the soft light runs out. On the other hand, having to watch that beautiful and expensive tea candle slowly dissolving as it gives out that calming flicker of light that is so needed after the days’ rush could also ruin the moment. This does not need to happen thanks to a viable alternative in the form of LED tea lights.
Battery powered LED lights have been around for a while and the offer a number of advantages from their old bulb style cousins. First, the LED or light emitting diode component that creates the light is long lasting, with some lasting even as much as a hundred thousand hours of operation before giving out, and they consume far less power, enabling them to operate for many hours longer on a single battery.
Next is that these small LED tea lights do not consume or burn any wax, and therefore, does not release any potentially harmful fumes. With nothing to burn, the tea lights are very much safe and would never, ever cause fire. The lack of flame itself would allow the tea lights to continue functioning even under heavy wind conditions. The soft and flickering lights would continue to provide luminosity indoors or outdoors.
The battery powered light consumes minimal power. The LED light can function for hours; typically, a four hour a day continuous operation would provide almost a week of lighting before the batteries need to be replaced. The battery themselves can be rechargeable, which further increases the savings on cost. Almost all types of LED tea lights have an On/Off switch, which allows them to be turned off when not in use. The plastic casing of the tea light is specially designed to mimic the appearance of a burning candle which, together with the soft flickering light, would complete the illusion.
There are various types of LED tea lights available, which comes in a minimum of a set of six pieces. With some having Lithium batteries, can give out light for more than 100 hours! The tea lights can come in different colors, the most popular of which are white and amber. Some of these tea lights can even come inside a frosted votive glass good for altars and other religious purposes. There are tea lights with metallic gold base and some even with long tips for long flame effect.
These LED tea lights do not cost much, as they come in sets of 6 pieces, and suddenly do not seem expensive or unmanageable having tens or almost a hundred of these soft flickering tea lights around the room for a romantic or relaxing mood. They s can be great in practically any room in the house, including the bathroom. Let your creative impulse run free in making the kind of lighting you want from candles without the need to worry about safety. The LED tea lights are excellent alternatives.
