Frequently Asked Questions
Can I really float these in my pool, or will they sink and stop working?
These candles are specifically engineered to float on water and have a sealed waterproof housing that protects the LED and battery compartment. Many customers float them in pools, hot tubs, ponds, and fountains, though a few units in a moving pool may occasionally drift and bunch at one end.
Will rain or wind put out my outdoor candles, or do I need to cover them?
There is no flame to extinguish, so rain and wind do not affect the LED output. The candles are fully waterproof, so they can be left outside in light to moderate rain without issue, though very heavy weather or submersion in a pool of standing water is generally fine but should be tested for your specific setup.
How visible are these floating candles in an outdoor pool at night?
The warm white LED is highly visible at night on the surface of a pool or pond, particularly when viewed from the surrounding deck or from inside the home. For a stronger effect, place 6 or more in a cluster rather than spacing them out individually across a large pool.
Can I use these for a backyard wedding reception dinner?
Yes, this is one of the most common outdoor use cases. The candles work on long banquet tables in glass cylinders, in floral centerpieces, around the edges of the dance floor, and floating in pool features. For best effect, plan for one candle per guest or one cluster of 3 to 5 per table.
Are these durable enough to take camping or to a picnic?
Yes. The plastic shell is impact-resistant and the candle is lightweight and compact, making it easy to pack for camping, glamping, picnics, and outdoor dinners. It will not break like glass and is not affected by wind the way a real candle is.
Will the candles stay lit long enough for an entire outdoor evening event?
On a fresh CR2032 battery, the candles run for 150+ hours of continuous use, which is far longer than a single evening event. Even with daily outdoor use, a single set of batteries will last through multiple events before needing replacement.
Can I use these in a fountain or water feature that splashes?
Yes. The waterproof housing is designed to handle splashing, full submersion, and floating. Customers regularly use them in tiered fountains, bird baths, and decorative water bowls.
Will the candles get blown around or tipped over in an outdoor breeze?
The candles are very light, so a strong wind can blow them off a table or move them across a flat surface. For outdoor dining in a breezy spot, place them inside heavier glass holders or use a low-sided lantern to weigh them down.
Can I leave these outside overnight without damage?
Yes, the waterproof design allows them to be left outside overnight. However, exposure to direct sun over many days can degrade the plastic shell and shorten battery life, so for long-term outdoor use it is better to bring them in when not in use.
How do these compare to solar-powered outdoor lights for ambiance?
Solar lights depend on a full day of sun exposure to charge and may not perform well in shaded patios or on cloudy days. These battery-powered candles deliver consistent, predictable light regardless of weather, and they can be turned on and off instantly via the water sensor rather than relying on an automatic dusk-to-dawn sensor.
Are these suitable for use on a boat or dock?
Yes, the waterproof housing and floating design work well on boats, docks, and lakeside decks. Many boaters use them in cup holders, on railings, or in onboard bowls. Just be aware that the small size means they can be lost overboard in rough water.
Can I use these for a backyard movie night or outdoor lounge area?
Yes. They add a soft warm glow to outdoor seating areas without competing with the brightness of a projector screen. Place them along the edges of a deck, in planters, or around a fire pit area to layer the lighting.
What about using these in a hot tub?
Hot tubs are a common use case, and the candles are designed to handle the warm water and the chemical exposure of treated spa water. They float on the surface and create a luxurious spa atmosphere, though you may want to rinse them with fresh water afterward to extend the seal's life.
Will the candle slide around on a slanted outdoor table?
On a level table the candle stays in place, but a slightly slanted surface can cause the candle to drift. To prevent this, set the candle inside a holder with a rim, a decorative bowl, or a small dish that includes some water to anchor it.
How do floating outdoor candles compare to tiki torches for evening lighting?
Tiki torches produce a much brighter flame and a wider light radius but come with open-flame risk, smoke, fuel refills, and citronella scent. Floating LED candles are safer, cleaner, scent-free, and more elegant, though they are not designed to illuminate a large yard the way torches can.
Can I use these on a balcony or rooftop with no risk of fire to neighbors below?
Yes. Because there is no flame, the candles can be used on balconies, rooftops, and high-rise patios where open-flame candles may be prohibited by the building. This is one of the most common reasons apartment dwellers choose flameless candles for outdoor spaces.
How do I turn the candles on and off?
The candles use a water-activated sensor, which means they turn on automatically when placed in water and turn off when removed. For dry use, the included battery tab must be pulled on first use, and the candle will then stay on continuously until the battery is depleted or the tab is reinserted to break the circuit.
What kind of battery do these use and how long does it last?
Each candle runs on a single CR2032 coin cell battery, which is included and replaceable. On a fresh battery, the candle provides 150+ hours of continuous use, which is more than enough for multi-day events, wedding weekends, or weeks of everyday ambient use.
How do I replace the battery when it dies?
To replace the battery, gently pry the shell apart at the seam, remove the old CR2032 battery, insert a new one with the positive side facing up, and snap the shell closed. Replacement CR2032 batteries are widely available at hardware stores, pharmacies, and online retailers.
Will these fit my existing tea light holders and glass votives?
The candles measure approximately 1.5 x 1.6 inches, which is the standard tea light size, so they fit virtually all standard tea light holders, glass votives, ceramic dishes, metal lanterns, and wall sconces designed for tea lights.
Can I use these in a real vase with real water, or do I need a special fluid?
You can use them in any standard glass vase with regular tap water. The candles float on the surface and the water-activated sensor handles the on-off function. Adding flower petals, glass beads, or decorative stones is optional and does not interfere with the sensor.
What's in the box when I order these?
The pack includes the chosen quantity of flameless floating candles, each with a pre-installed CR2032 battery. A small plastic tab is inserted in the battery compartment to preserve battery life during shipping, and the tab is pulled on first use to activate the candle. No additional accessories are required.
Are these safe to use every day, or are they meant for occasional use only?
They are designed for daily use. The LED has a service life of tens of thousands of hours, and the CR2032 battery can be replaced indefinitely. Many customers use the same set of candles as their primary ambient lighting for years.
What if my candle stops working, will it leak or corrode?
If a CR2032 battery is left inside the candle for several years past depletion, it can eventually leak. To prevent this, remove the battery if you plan to store the candles for longer than a year, and replace batteries promptly when the light dims noticeably.
What is the difference between floating candles and regular flameless tea lights?
Floating candles are designed with a sealed waterproof housing and a water-activated sensor that turns the light on when placed in water. Regular flameless tea lights typically have an on-off switch on the bottom and are designed for dry use only, often in votive holders. Floating candles can also be used dry, but regular tea lights cannot be submerged in water.
