What’s in the box

Two sets of six — 12 flameless taper candles (6.65" each) · 1 magic wand remote (13") · 12 adhesive ceiling hooks · 12 push pins · a spool of clear fishing line · printed gift box.

Runs on 1 AAA battery per candle (not included).

How the wand works

The wand is the remote. Point it into the room — not at each candle — and press. Every candle in the set comes on together. Press again and they all go out.

There is no app, no phone and no pairing to do. They arrive already speaking to the same wand. Buy a second set and the same wand still runs every candle you own.

Hanging them

Adhesive hooks for ceilings, push pins for walls and wooden beams. Cut the clear line to the drop you want, pull the flame tip off, thread the line through the middle, push the tip back on and tie it to the hook.

No drill, and nothing you would notice once they come down. Cut the lines to different lengths — staggered heights are what makes them read as floating rather than hanging.

Safety

No flame, no wax, no heat. The flame is an LED, so the candle stays cool to the touch and can hang above a dinner table, a bed or a child’s room. This is the entire reason they exist.

Take the usual care with the hanging line and the small flame tips around very young children.

Specification

Candle height 6.65" (16.9cm) · wand length 13" (33cm) · warm white flickering LED · ABS body with a soft-touch matte finish · removable flame tip · 1×AAA per candle · indoor and covered outdoor use.

Every October it trends. Every October it runs out.

The decoration people stop and film

You have already seen these. A dark hallway, twelve candles hanging at nothing, someone raises a wand and the whole thing lights at once. That clip goes round every single Halloween — and every single year the sets are gone by the middle of October.

This is that set. It is back, and it is in stock today.

★★★★★

“I missed these last year and spent the whole of October watching everyone else post them. Ordered the second I saw them back. Took me an evening to hang the full twelve and honestly the first flick of the wand was worth every minute. My hallway looks like the Great Hall.”

Danielle R. Verified buyer
★★★★★

“The wand is the thing nobody tells you about. I genuinely thought it was a gimmick in the packaging. It is not — it turns all of them on at once from across the room, and my six-year-old has not stopped doing it since Tuesday.”

Priya K. Verified buyer
★★★★★

“Bought them for Halloween. They are still up. My husband said take them down after the 31st, then Christmas came round and he was the one who wanted them over the tree. Same candles, completely different mood.”

Megan T. Verified buyer
★★★★★

“Real talk — hanging them takes longer than the videos make out. Twelve candles, twelve lines to cut, twelve knots. Put a film on and do it properly. Once they are up you never touch them again and they look incredible.”

Sam W. Verified buyer
★★★★★

“Three cats and a toddler, so real candles were never happening in this house. These sit above the dinner table — nothing gets knocked over, nothing gets hot, nothing catches. That is the whole reason I bought them.”

Alicia M. Verified buyer
★★★★★

“Put them on the covered porch and had three neighbours knock to ask where they were from. One of them ordered a set while standing on my step.”

Nicole F. Verified buyer
★★★★★

“Ordered two sets for a thirty foot hallway and one wand runs both of them. I did not expect that to work but it does, straight out of the box.”

Corey B. Verified buyer
★★★★★

“My daughter is eleven and asked for ‘the Harry Potter candles’ for her birthday. They have been up in her room since June. She turns them off with the wand from her bed every night, which is apparently the best part.”

Rachel D. Verified buyer
★★★★★

“We have a double-height entryway and I assumed these would be a nightmare up there. Cut the lines long, hung them at six different depths, and it is now the first thing every single person comments on when they walk through the door.”

The part nobody expects

One flick. Every candle.
Powered by OneWave.

Ordinary LED candles have a switch on the base. Twelve of them means twelve trips up a chair, twice a day, all season. That is why most people put four up and give up.

    Point at the room, not the candle

    You are not aiming. Press it from the doorway, from the sofa, from the top of the stairs — every candle in the set answers together.

  2. 02
    Paired before it ships

    Nothing to set up. No app, no phone, no Bluetooth, no pairing screen. Batteries in, press once, the room lights.

  3. 03
    Two states, and that is the point

    On and off. Nothing to learn, nothing to get wrong. A four-year-old works it out in about nine seconds and then does it four hundred more times.

  4. 04
    One wand, however many you hang

    Run another twelve down the stairs or along the porch and the same wand still lights every one of them.

Why they read as floating and not as hanging

Three things most sets get wrong.
The Invisible Drop system.

Anyone can put a light on a string. The reason this set photographs the way it does comes down to three details that sound small and are not.

1

The flame comes off

The tip lifts away so the line threads down through the middle of the candle, not taped to one side of it. That is the difference between twelve candles hanging dead straight and twelve candles all tilting at slightly different angles.

2

Clear line, not string

Fine monofilament, the same stuff used for fishing. Against a ceiling, lit from below, your eye stops finding it after about a metre. People look for what is holding them up, fail, and that is the whole trick.

3

Staggered heights

Cut every line to a different length. A flat row reads as decoration; candles at seven different depths read as suspended in air. This is the step people skip and then wonder why theirs look wrong.

No trip to the hardware store

Everything you need is already in the box

Most floating candle sets hand you the candles and wish you luck. This one arrives with the hooks, the pins and the line already cut into the kit.

12 Flameless Candles
Two sets of six — 6.65" tapers with a warm, moving flame
1 Magic Wand Remote
13" wand that runs all twelve at once
12 Adhesive Hooks
Peel and stick to the ceiling — no drilling
12 Push Pins & Clear Line
For walls and beams, plus the invisible line

Arrives in a gift box. Runs on 1 AAA battery per candle, not included.

Setup

Hung in three steps

  1. Cut your line Decide how low you want each candle to hang and cut the clear line to that length.
  2. Thread the flame Pull the flame tip off the candle, run the line through the centre, push the tip back on.
  3. Stick and let go Peel a hook onto the ceiling, tie the line to it, and step back. That’s one done.
Threading the fishing line through the candle flame in four steps

Then repeat. A full set is an evening’s job with something on in the background — and you only ever do it once, because they come down as one piece.

Honestly compared

Why people keep coming back to this one

Real tapers look perfect and cannot hang over a table with children under it. Cheap LED sets hang fine and then you are switching twelve of them on by hand every evening.

One set. Every season.

This is the rare decoration that doesn’t go back in the loft on 1 November. The candles read haunted in a dark hallway and read warm over a Christmas table — same set, same wand.

Nothing here is an accident

Every detail has a reason

The flame lifts off

It would have been cheaper to mould it in one piece. It comes apart so the line runs through the candle’s centre — which is the only reason twelve of them hang straight instead of drifting.

A wand, not a clicker

The remote could have been a plastic fob. It is a thirteen inch wand because the moment you use it is the moment people film. That is the product.

Two ways to hang it

Adhesive hooks for painted ceilings, push pins for beams and plaster. Renters and homeowners both get a set that comes down without a trace.

Packed to be given

It arrives in a printed box rather than a poly bag, so it goes straight under a tree without you having to rewrap anything.

Frequently asked questions

Do they really look like they’re floating?

Yes — and the reason is the clear monofilament line. Against a ceiling, with the candles lit from within, your eye stops resolving it after about a metre. What people see is twelve flames at different heights with nothing holding them up. Cut the lines to staggered lengths and the effect is immediate.

Does the wand really control all of them at once?

Yes. Every candle in the set answers the same wand. Point it into the room — you are not aiming at individual candles — and press once for on, once for off. If you buy two sets, one wand still runs all twenty-four.

Do I need to drill anything?

No. Adhesive hooks are included for ceilings, and push pins for walls and wooden beams. Neither leaves a mark you would notice once they come down, which matters if you rent.

Are batteries included?

No — each candle runs on a single AAA, which is what keeps them light enough to hang on line rather than sit in a holder. One per candle.

How do I make the batteries last the season?

Switch them off with the wand when you leave the room. That one habit is the difference between a set that runs from October through the holidays and one that dies in November. It takes a second because you are switching all twelve at once.

How long does it take to hang a full set?

Give yourself an evening for twelve. Each candle needs its line cut, threaded and knotted, and then the hook pressed to the ceiling. It is not difficult, it is repetitive — put something on in the background. You only do it once, because they come down as one piece and go back up in minutes next year.

Are they safe around children and pets?

There is no flame, no wax and no heat — the flame is an LED and the candle stays cool to the touch. That is exactly why they can hang above a dinner table or a child’s bed, which real tapers never could. Take the usual care with the hanging line and the small flame tips around very young children.

Can I hang them outside?

Under a covered porch or a gazebo, yes — that is where a lot of people put them and it is the shot that gets neighbours knocking. Keep them out of direct rain and bring them in over winter storms.

How high should they hang?

Vary it deliberately. A drop of roughly 30 to 90cm from the ceiling works in most rooms, but the important part is that no two are the same. A flat row reads as decoration; staggered depths read as floating.

How many do I need for my room?

Twelve fills a hallway, a stairwell or the space above a dining table. For an open-plan living room, a long porch or a full staircase, order a second set — the same wand still runs all twenty-four, so you never need a second remote.

Will they work again next year?

Yes. Take the batteries out before you box them — that is the only thing that kills a set in storage. Coil the lines with the candles still attached and the whole thing goes back up in a fraction of the time.

Twelve AAA batteries is not nothing so budget for that. Once they are in it's set and forget for months. The candles themselves are better made than I expected.

barn wedding

Bought the thirty six for a barn wedding since open flame wasn't allowed. We hung them over the reception tables the day before. The photographer thanked us specifically.

J

needed more than twelve

Twelve looks thin over a big open dining room, just be realistic about the square footage. I ordered a second set and the wand handles both, which saved it for me. Effect is great once you have enough of them.

Barrett L.
friends wedding

Hung these at a friends wedding in a converted garage last June. No open flame was allowed in the building and the coordinator was thrilled when we turned up with these. Everyone assumed they were part of a rental package. We had all thirty six up in about three hours with four of us working. Four of us and three hours for thirty six candles.

R
Rex C.

Took these in the RV and hung them over the dinette for a two week trip. No flame worry in a small space which was the whole reason I bought them. They run forever on one battery each and I never had to swap one. Took them down in about ten minutes at the end.

covered deck in june

Hung twelve over the covered deck in June before a party. Warm light and nothing to blow out at the end of the night, which with that many people around was the point. They have stayed up all summer with no problems. They even survived a couple of thunderstorms under the roof.

They shipped in four days and everything was accounted for in the box. Twelve candles, the wand, the hooks and pins, plus the line.

Set them up in the treehouse my kids basically live in. No flame anywhere near a wood structure with children in it.

graduation party outside

Hung twelve over the covered deck in June for my sons graduation party. Zero fire worry with a crowd of people and drinks going around. A few of the parents stood under them taking pictures. They're still out there in August and I haven't touched the batteries. Still running on the batteries I put in back in June.

Osgood F.

They look terrific after dark, no argument. In daylight you can clearly see the fishing line and it just looks like candles on strings. Fine for evening use which is when I want them anyway.

held up all winter

They have been up over our covered patio since fall through a lot of weather. Not one has failed and the hooks are still solid.

Our dining room has a low ceiling so I cut the lines short and they hang close. Still looks great, maybe even better at that height. Don't be afraid to trim more than you think.

Our covered porch has had these up since fall with no failures. Rain has blown in a few times and they kept working.

Set them over the dessert table for my daughters graduation party in the backyard tent. Zero fire concern with a crowd of teenagers running around. Everything photographed beautifully that night.

I assumed the remote would be one of those things where you have to aim at each candle individually. You just point it into the room and all of them go on together. Works clear across our living room with no issue.

by the fire pit

Put a set up over the fire pit seating area under the pergola. It's a little ironic to have fake candles next to a real fire but it looks great out there. They have been up since spring with no issues at all. Nobody has ever noticed the irony except me.

J
Jonah P.

Took these camping and hung four inside the canopy over the picnic table. Nobody had to worry about a flame near the kids.

N

Twelve candles, one wand, and they all respond together from across the room. That is the part people do not believe until they see it. Works through the doorway too.

two sets one remote

Bought a set for our covered patio and one for inside. The wand runs both if they're in range which is handy from the doorway. Solid buy for the money.

exactly like the photos

These are exactly what the photos show which is rare with online orders. The flame tips glow warm rather than white which was my main worry before ordering. I've owned a lot of flameless candles and these are the first I'd call convincing. Happy with the purchase!

Hung a set over the pool deck for a summer party under the pergola. No wind that night and they hung perfectly still.

We hung these in the tent for a glamping weekend with friends. Ran the line between the poles and it looked incredible after dark.

line is short-ish

Fishing line they include is enough for a normal ceiling but if you have a vaulted one you'll run out. I picked up extra clear line at the hardware store and it worked fine.

Hung a set over the deck for a summer party under the pergola. Warm light with no bugs drawn to a flame, which was an unexpected bonus.

good for the price

They do what they say and look better than the plastic tealights we had. Wish the flicker was slightly slower, it's a little quick on a couple of them.

everything in the box

They shipped quick and everything was in the box like the listing said. Twelve candles, the wand, hooks, pins and the line. No batteries so grab those separately.
